Are cleaning waters from a bulk tank that contains a material used in both pesticide and nonpesticide products covered under this rule?
Yes. The intent of the rule is to cover wastewater associated with pesticide production; therefore, cleaning rinsates of a bulk tank containing a material used in PFPR production would be covered under the PFPR rule. If the facility has more than one bulk storage tank for a particular material, and can specify that only material from certain tanks are used in PFPR production, then only the rinsate from those tanks is covered under the PFPR rule; however, if the facility cannot make this distinction, then rinsate from all tanks containing that material is covered by the rule.
