{"Image DocumentName": "Industry (IU) Categories Targeted", "Image ImageDescription": "1976 EPA/NRDC agreement. 56 categories to date. 30 have Pretreatment Standards. 40 CFR Parts just google 40 CFR 4?? to locate the category. Effluent Guidelines Plan. Effluent Guidelines Task Force. Original 1976 consent decree identified 21 categories; later modified to 34 in a 1979 agreement. Currently there are about 60 published categories that have effluent guidelines (for direct dischargers) and/or categorical pretreatment standards (for indirect dischargers). There are 27 with quantifiable pretreatment standards. Region 6 has a Summary Table revised July 2001 [see me after if you want a copy] Plans for EPA s expansion and modification of the list is detailed in the Effluent Guidelines Plan, published in the Federal Register biennially as required in section 304(m) of the CWA. An Effluent Guidelines Task Force is responsible to evaluate how guidelines are developed and looks for ways to make the development process more efficient. Typically, the first step is a preliminary study to evaluate likelihood of need for limitations, based on nature of pollutant discharges and comparison with other categories. Industries identified as primary sources of toxic pollutants are typically targeted for effluent guideline and categorical standard development.
