No. Do not include privately owned treatment works in the same category as publicly-owned treatment-works (POTW) when discussing pretreatment. Privately-owned plants do not get the same “privileges” as a POTW. Particularly, the Domestic Sewage Exclusion regarding the receipt of hazardous waste. The generic term of privately owned treatment works can mean the industrial treatment process at an industrial plant as well as the sewage plant at that industry.
