Procedures and Specific Requirements (5.2)

Permitting

Routine Discharges

SLAC's permit with the SBSA and WBSD specify wastewater discharge conditions for routine discharges. These are listed in Industrial Wastewater: Permitted and Prohibited Discharge Reference [pdf].

Non-routine Discharges

For any non-routine discharges, the existing permit must be updated or a non-routine permit must be applied for and issued. For additional information, see Industrial Wastewater: Discharge Characterization Guidelines [pdf].

Best Management Practices

Implementing BMPs for operations that produce industrial wastewater is essential to staying within SLAC's industrial wastewater discharge permit limits.

• BMPs for machine, maintenance, and craft shops are listed in Industrial Wastewater: Machine, Maintenance, and Craft Shop Best Management Practices [pdf].
• BMPs for laboratories are listed in Industrial Wastewater: Wet or Chemical Lab Best Management Practices [pdf].
• BMPs for pipe flushing are listed in Industrial Wastewater: Treatment of Pipe Flushing Water Best Management Practices [pdf].
• BMPs for the cafeteria are listed in Industrial Wastewater: Cafeteria Best Management Practices [pdf].

Note: For work that is performed outside, such as power washing of buildings, shielding material, equipment, and vehicles, see the BMPs in Chapter 26,"Stormwater", to ensure that no waste water enters the storm drains.

Sampling

Sampling is carried out by specified entities at regular intervals. For details see Industrial Wastewater: Wastewater Sampling Requirements [pdf].
