How do treatment decisions work and how does a permit writer determine limits for PFPR/manufacturing facilities?
If a PFPR/manufacturing facility chooses to comply with zero discharge, there is no allowance (“zero” allowance) given for pesticide active ingredients that they also manufacture (i.e., the limit is based solely on their manufacturing production). Nonmanufactured pesticide active ingredients must not be detected in their effluent (i.e., the permit should specify zero discharge). If the facility chooses to comply with the P2 alternative, the P2 practices would be included in the facility’s permit. The limitation for pesticide active ingredients that are also manufactured could be adjusted to include the facility’s PFPR production.
