Does the 3-year compliance date of November 6, 1999 apply to facilities choosing the P2 alternative (i.e., do they have until November 6, 1999 to install treatment systems)?
The 3-year compliance date only applies to indirect dischargers and this is the date at which they must be in compliance with the rule. If the facility wishes to be discharging wastewater at that time and treatment of that wastewater is necessary for compliance, the appropriate treatment system would need to be installed, tested, and a procedure for determining that it is well operated and maintained determined. Indirect dischargers must establish milestones with their control authority that the facility must meet to achieve compliance with the rule by November 6, 1999.
