EPA to require basic treatment of industrial waste nationwide
The EPA will require minimum secondary treatment for nearly all industrial discharges into navigable waters, with stricter controls where state standards demand. The policy directs regional administrators to ensure discharge permits include timelines and that no facility operates without at least the minimum treatment level. The standard applies even where states lack standards and aims to align with municipal wastewater treatment practices. The note also covers Navy use of Fleming Key for a quarantine station and a related funding plan pending approval.
