Industry Pretreatment Program & Business Surveys
What is the Program:
"The Industrial Pretreatment Program is a federal, state, and local program to reduce the pollutants discharged by businesses into sewer systems and the environment."
Large and small business have byproducts that are normal in their processes.
- medical waste dental dyes/inks chemicals oils/fats medicine/vitamins
- agricultural beer/wine food prep grease cleanup additives
These cannot be filtered by the Wastewater Plant which is only designed to process human waste. To protect our rivers and watershed from damange, the State has requirements for businesses to pretreat/filter their wastewater.
What this means to you:
If you run a business in Newberg you will receive Business Environmental Survey by mail every few years. This required survey informs our staff how to categorize businesses and determine who needs to comply with the state regulations.
A copy of the survey is available below for download.
Please note: Pretreatment rules are in addition to regulations set by Depts. of Health and Agriculture and apply to both small and large businesses.
