| E6-21825 | Notice of Availability of Final 2006 Effluent Guidelines Program Plan | Notice | EPA establishes national technology-based regulations known as effluent guidelines and pretreatment standards to reduce pollutant discharges from categories of industry discharging directly to waters of the United States or discharging indirectly through Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs). The Clean Water Act (CWA) sections 301(d), 304(b), 304(g), and 307(b) require EPA to annually review these effluent guidelines and pretreatment standards. This notice presents EPA's 2006 review of existing effluent guidelines and pretreatment standards. It also presents EPA's evaluation of indirect dischargers without categorical pretreatment standards to identify potential new categories for pretreatment standards under CWA sections 304(g) and 307(b). This notice also presents the final 2006 Effluent Guidelines Program Plan ("final 2006 Plan"), which, as required under CWA section 304(m), identifies any new or existing industrial categories selected for effluent guidelines rulemaking and provides a schedule for such rulemaking. CWA section 304(m) requires EPA to biennially publish such a plan after public notice and comment. The Agency published the preliminary 2006 Plan on August 29, 2005 (70 FR 51042). This notice also provides EPA's preliminary thoughts concerning its 2007 annual reviews under CWA sections 301(d), 304(b), 304(g) and 307(b) and solicits comments, data and information to assist EPA in performing these reviews. EPA intends to continue a detailed study of the steam electric power generating industry and start detailed studies for the following industrial sectors: the coal mining industry, the health services industry, and the coalbed methane industry, which is part of the oil and gas extraction industry. Finally, after two public comment periods, this notice discusses how EPA incorporates elements from the draft Strategy for National Clean Water Industrial Regulations (Strategy) into its effluent guidelines reviews and planning. | 2006-12-21 | 2006 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2006/12/21/E6-21825/notice-of-availability-of-final-2006-effluent-guidelines-program-plan | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2006-12-21/pdf/E6-21825.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA establishes national technology-based regulations known as effluent guidelines and pretreatment standards to reduce pollutant discharges from categories of industry discharging directly to waters of the United States or discharging indirectly... |
