INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL PRETREATMENT PROGRAM
| DISCHARGING WASTEWATER IN POCATELLO |
| A Clean Water Connection |
| When your business properly disposes of wastewater, your community benefits from cleaner water and reduced wastewater treatment costs. This brochure will provide you with general guidelines for discharging industrial wastewater into the sanitary sewer system in the Pocatello service area and parts of Bannock County . Our goal is to help you conduct your business while you comply with the regulations. |
| |
| Pocatello's Industrial Waste Program |
| The Industrial Pretreatment Program administers the city's industrial waste regulations for local businesses that discharge industrial wastewater to Pocatello 's sewage treatment plant. Program activities include administration of waste discharge permits, inspections, enforcement, sample collection to determine compliance, and collection of surcharge and monitoring fees. Routine monitoring is conducted throughout the Pocatello service area to trace discharges that could harm workers or disrupt treatment plant operations. Industrial Pretreatment staff also works with businesses to help them identify and employ pollution prevention practices. |
| |
| Industrial waste sample collection |
| Prior to discharging industrial waste to the sewer system your business may need to have a representative sample of the wastewater analyzed and the results presented to Pocatello's Industrial Pretreatment Program Waste before obtaining discharge approval. Contact the Industrial Waste Program for guidance on approved sampling and analysis methods. |

| The high price of polluting |
Managing wastewater properly is good for the water, the environment, and community health. It's also good for business. Businesses or individuals who illegally discharge substances to the sanitary sewer system must pay for any damages and may be fined up to $1,000 per day per violation. Companies may also be charged for increased monitoring and may be required to install upgraded equipment. Any business receiving a fine will have its company name published in a Idaho State Journal ad entitled: “Companies Violate Pretreatment Standards.” You can avoid these high costs of polluting and the Industrial Pretreatment staff can help you by calling 208-234-6256.
The mission of the Industrial Pretreatment Program is to protect the environment, public health, biosolids quality, and Pocatello 's sewerage system. We work cooperatively with our customers as we regulate industrial discharges, provide technical assistance, and monitor the sewerage system.
The information in this publication is based on Pocatello City Code 13.16 and 13.20. Additional information and copies of these documents can be obtained by contacting the Industrial Pretreatment staff at 208-234-6256.
