Does This Apply To My Business?
Purposes Of The Program
Discharges from Industrial Facilities may contain pollutants that can impact worker health and safety, the collection system, the treatment plant, and our local environment. South Platte Renew evaluates all businesses in our service area to determine whether any pretreatment requirements are needed. The purpose of South Platte Renews evaluation is to help businesses understand their requirements and insure proper measures are in place for protecting our system, community, and environment.
Prohibited Discharges Applicable To All Facilities
- Hazardous waste;
- Liquids, solids, or gases that may result in fire or explosion;
- Solid or viscous substances which may obstruct flow;
- Corrosive or toxic pollutants;
- Residues, sludges, or scums that are unsuitable for reclamation and reuse;
- Colored wastes such as dyes, radioactive wastes, and liquid wastes from chemical toilets, trailers, campers, or other recreational vehicles;
- Wastewater having a pH of less than 5.0.
Spill Prevention
To prevent wastes, spills, and chemical products from reaching the sanitary sewer, all commercial and industrial facilities must have documented procedures, operations, activities, logs, etc. used to help prevent accidental spills or slug discharges to the sewer.
