The era of wastewater discharge permits based only on treatment technology is gone. Now wastewater permits will also be based on the discharge’s toxicity to the stream. Discharge toxicity limits are often more difficult to meet than technology-based limits. The following is a case history of a Connecticut steel mill’s attempt to meet toxicity limits with its cooling water discharge.
