What will a permit for a zero discharge/no-flow PFPR facility look like?
Facilities with no potential for discharge are not covered under the PFPR categorical standards. For facilities that achieve zero discharge, but have the potential to discharge, the permit would most likely only require a certification statement that the facility is at zero discharge. It may also list inspections that the facility would undergo. A facility may comply with zero discharge by demonstrating that all pesticide active ingredients and priority pollutants are below their method detection limits in the facility’s final effluent, and only if all pollutants have approved analytical methods. A detection of any of these pollutants means the facility is out of compliance with the rule.
