Notice of Data Availability; Effluent Limitations Guidelines, Pretreatment Standards, and New Source Performance Standards: Centralized Waste Treatment Category

On January 27, 1995, EPA proposed Clean Water Act effluent limitations and pretreatment standards to reduce the discharge of pollutants from the centralized waste treatment industry (60 FR 5464). This document describes new information the Agency has obtained since the proposal. This document also explains, based on this information, the Agency's revised estimates of the size and regulatory impacts of the proposed rulemaking on the proposed oils treatment and recovery subcategory of the industry. This document presents the preliminary results of EPA detailed analyses for the subcategory with the inclusion of the new information and the data developed from it. EPA originally estimated that there were 35 facilities in this subcategory. EPA now estimates that there are a total of 275 facilities in the subcategory. EPA further believes that the majority of the facilities treat dilute oily wastestreams rather than the concentrated wastestreams that were described in the proposal.
