The matter will be discussed at the next Board Meeting. INDUSTRIAL PRETREATMENT REQUIREMENTS The Asst. General Manager indicated since the District is named as an agency on the permit for the City Wastewater Plant we have to conform with EPA requirements in identifying whether or not target industries are complying with the standards. After surveying all the industries named by EPA, he felt there would probably be only about twelve in the District that would have to be checked. The City has been working on the process and it was felt that due to the small number of businesses involved it would be best to participate with the City of S.B. on a cost basis, rather than retain a consultant to do the work in the pre-treatment program. The program should be implemented as soon as possible. It was recommended documentation be drawn up and contract made with the City for having them do the initial workup on the program.
