GOAL STATEMENT The Water Reclamation Facility remains in compliance with all State and Federal Pretreatment Program Regulations. BACKGROUND The City of Colton's Pretreatment Program is required under existing federal pretreatment program regulations (40CFR403) and NPDES Permit No. CA0105236. California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Santa Ana Region adopted Order No. R8-2005-0075 on September 30, 2005. The adopted Order issued the NPDES Permit. The essential program elements required under this permit include permitting, inspection, monitoring, enforcement, and regulatory reporting. One of the requirements associated with the issuance of the new NPDES Permit is to re-evaluate the local wastewater discharge limits to determine if the existing limits still provide adequate protection to upsets, interference, or pass-through of pollutants which may originate from commercial/industrial discharges. Domestic (residential), industry, and treatment plant sample data will be collected to gather the necessary information. The new information will then be analyzed to determine the best strategies for allocating pollutant limitations in a manner that creates the least impact on our commercial/industrial users.
