Why is “pollution prevention” listed as an appropriate treatment technology?
Based on available data, EPA was unable to identify a cost-effective technology for use in the PFPR industry for some pesticide active ingredients on Table 10. Therefore, EPA determined that, if a facility generates wastewater that only contains such pesticide active ingredients, they are in compliance with the rule if they have implemented the Table 8 pollution prevention practices (i.e., such facilities do not have to treat PFPR wastewaters containing these specific PAIs prior to discharge).
