§ 28-214. Specific pollutant limitations (local limits).  


Latest version.
  • No person shall discharge any waters or wastes at a concentration that would exceed the concentration of pollutants, including but not limited to, those concentrations identified in the "Technically Based Local Limits Development Document", and adopted by the manager of the Pine Bluff Wastewater Utility and approved by the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality.

    Pine Bluff Wastewater Utility will develop and assign specific discharge permit limitations, or Best Management Practice (BMP), when deemed appropriate by the manager, for pollutants for permitted users based on criteria approved by the manager. The specific permit limits or BMP shall ensure that local limit pollutant concentrations will protect the wastewater treatment plant. The local limits shall apply to the total flow, total process discharge from the industrial users or to another discharge location at the discretion of the manager. In developing specific permit limits, the manager may impose mass local limitations in addition to, or in place of, specific local concentration-based limits. In addition, Pine Bluff Wastewater Utility may develop specific discharge limitations, or BMP for any pollutants which the manager of Pine Bluff Wastewater Utility may determine to be of sufficient quantity to cause POTW interference and/or pass-through, endanger the health and safety of the POTW personnel or the public health, cause a POTW permit violation or render the POTW sludges unacceptable for economic reuse or reclamation.
