This will involve the <br /> <br /> <br />development of future projects concerned with sludge management, <br /> <br /> <br />noncoal mining, ground-water protection, and pretreatment. <br /> <br />b. Issue permits for the construction and operation of waste-water <br />treatment facilities, and monitor treated effluents for compliance <br /> <br />with permit conditions. <br /> <br />c. Seek positive enforcement action against facilities which fail to <br />comply with permits or respond to confluence, conciliation, or <br /> <br />persuasion. <br /> <br />d. Monitor selected streams and lakes to determine existing water <br /> <br /> <br />quality, and identify the need for pollution abatement. Monitoring <br /> <br /> <br />results will be published in an biennial quality report. <br /> <br /> <br />e. Develop a pretreatment program to control, at the source, those <br /> <br /> <br />contaminates which may inhibit the waste-water treatment process or <br /> <br />which may pass through the treatment process and have a toxic effect <br /> <br />upon aquatic life within the receiving waters. <br />f. Review and revise existing regulations where necessary. <br /> <br />g. Review and revise water-quality standards based upon monitoring <br /> <br />results and other data. <br /> <br />h. provide for comprehensive training of waste-water treatment operators <br /> <br />and certification of same. <br /> <br />i. Initiate the development of an electronic data-processing system for <br /> <br />storing, sorting, and retrieving vast quantities of water-quality <br /> <br />data as well as permiting and compliance functions. <br /> <br />j. Develop mechanisms for internal evaluation of program effectiveness. <br /> <br />G-51 <br />
