How is the control authority able to show compliance when there are no numeric limits?
By ensuring that their categorical industrial users are maintaining their on-site compliance paperwork accurately, that the specified P2 practices have been implemented, and that the treatment systems are appropriate and have been demonstrated to be well operated and maintained. Under Section 403, the POTW is required to take a certain number of samples from the regulated facility. How do they complete this item when the facility is complying with the P2 alternative? What is the absolute minimum that the POTW must do to meet requirements for a control authority? The PFPR rule does not require monitoring for pesticide active ingredients. Therefore, the POTW would only need to monitor for their local limits. Note that if a POTW monitors their effluent for pesticide active ingredients at the point of discharge to the receiving stream, the contribution of pesticide active ingredients comes not only from PFPR facilities but also nonpoint source dischargers (e.g., agricultural runoff).
