Background

At this time the Agency is soliciting comments on a draft rule addressing the design flow and waste strength requirements for treatment works sized for one hundred thousand gallons per day or less.  Minor revisions to this rule are being considered to provide additional clarification.  Draft revisions include: revising the title of the rule to reflect that the rule provides both design flows and waste strengths; including additional information on how flow storage and equalization should be addressed by the rule; rewording the data submittal standards for waste strength characterization; replacing the jpg of table A-1 with the same table A-1, created as an actual table in the rule authoring software; and updating table A-1's information for gas stations/convenience stores.
