Subject: Nondischarge Permit Modification No. 13378
Pretreatment Program.Requirements
Town of Garner
Wake County
Dear Mr. .Rudy:
R. Paul Wilms
Director
Information on .file with the.Division of Environmental
Management indicates that one significant industrial user
(Nabisco), as defined by 15NCAC 2H.0903(b)(9), is proposing to
discharge into the Town of Garner wastewater treatment system.
Therefore, the Town must develop a pretreatment program. This
requirement is based on State regulation 15 NCAC 2H .0900.
Objectives of the pretreatment regulations are ... :(a) to
prevent the introduction of pollutants into POTWs which will
interfere with the operation of a POTW, including interference
with its use or disposal of municipal sludge; (b) to prevent the
introduction of pollutants into POTWs which will pass through
the treatment works or otherwise be incompatible ..."
July 1, 1983, was the regulatory date by which publicly owned
treatment works (POTWs) were required to have an approved
pretreatment program. However, because the Town did not
previously have a Significant Industrial User, the Division has
established a date of May 1, 1989 for the final approval and
implementation of a complete program.
