Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has recently changed their Industrial Wastewater regulations. The DEP is becoming stricter on all regulations due to these changes. PAI suggests to keep a close eye on your logs to avoid a Notice of Violation which leads to fines and other painful proceedings.

Make sure all of your logs include the following information in an easy to read format:

• Permit Number
• Discharge Location
• Total Daily Flow. Not just the totalizer reading, do the math and find the daily flow. Simply yesterday’s totalizer reading minus today’s reading gives you the daily flow.
