(a) Lists and describes those product families, process lines, or process units for which the PFPR facility is implementing the pollution prevention alternative.
(b) Describes the PFPR facility specific practices for each product family, process line, or process unit which are to be practiced as part of the pollution prevention alternative.
(c) Describes any justification allowing modification to the practices listed in Table 8.
(d) Lists the treatment system being used to obtain a pollution prevention alternative discharge as defined in this section.
(2) "On-site compliance paperwork" means data or information maintained in the offices of the PFPR facility which supports the initial and periodic certification statements and which:
(a) Lists and describes those product families, process lines, or process units for which the facility is implementing the pollution prevention alternative.
(b) Describes the facility specific practices for each product family, process line, or process unit which are to be practiced as part of the pollution prevention alternative.
(c) Describes any justification allowing modification to the practices listed in Table 8.
(d) Includes a written discussion demonstrating that the treatment system being used contains the appropriate pollution control technologies or equivalent systems for removing the pesticide active ingredients which may be found in the wastewater.
(e) Establishes a method for demonstrating to the department or control authority that the treatment system is well operated and maintained.
(f) Includes a discussion of the rationale for choosing the method of demonstration.
(3) "Periodic certification statement" means a written submission to the department or control authority which states that the pollution prevention alternative as set forth in the WPDES permit or pretreatment control mechanism is being implemented. Any modification of the practices listed in Table 8 must be justified. The periodic certification statement shall be signed by the responsible corporate officer as defined in 40 CFR 122.22 or s. NR 211.15(10).
(4)
(a) "Pollution prevention allowable discharge for indirect dischargers excluding interior wastewater, leak and spill clean-up water, and floor wash" means the quantity or concentrations of pollutants in PFPR process wastewaters that remain after a facility has demonstrated that it is using the specified practices of the pollution prevention alternative as listed in Table 8.
(b) "Pollution prevention allowable discharge for indirect dischargers including interior wastewater, leak and spill cleanup water, and floor wash" means the quantity or concentrations of pollutants in PFPR process wastewaters that remain after a facility has demonstrated that it is using the specified practices of the pollution prevention alternative as listed in Table 8. Additionally the wastewaters shall have been pretreated using appropriate pollution control technologies as defined in s. NR 233.03(1e), a pesticide manufacturer's treatment system, or an equivalent system, used individually or in any combination to achieve a sufficient level of pollutant reduction. Pretreatment requirements may be modified or waived by the control authority to the extent that removal credits have been granted in accordance with s. NR 211.13, provided the granting of the credits does not result in pass through or interference as defined in s. NR 211.03 and complies with the provisions of s. NR 211.10. The facility shall demonstrate that the appropriate pollution control technology is properly maintained and operated.
(5) "Pollution prevention allowable discharge for direct dischargers" in this subchapter means the quantity of concentrations of pollutants in PFPR process wastewaters that remain after a facility has demonstrated that it is using the specified practices of the pollution prevention alternative as listed in Table 8. Additionally the wastewaters shall have been treated using appropriate pollution control technologies, as defined in s. NR 233.03(1e), a pesticide manufacturer's treatment system, or an equivalent system, used individually or in any combination to achieve a sufficient level of pollutant reduction. The facility shall demonstrate that the appropriate pollution control technology is properly maintained and operated.
(6) "Process wastewater," for this subchapter, means all wastewater associated with pesticide formulating, packaging and repackaging except for sanitary water, non-contact cooling water and those wastewaters excluded from the applicability of the rule in s. NR 233.30.
