Industrial Pretreatment Program
IPP Overview
The Industrial Pretreatment Program (IPP) is a federally mandated pollution control program under the Clean Water Act which regulates the discharges of industrial and commercial facilities to the sanitary sewer system.
IPP Goals:
- Prevent the introduction of pollutants into wastewater treatment plants that will interfere with treatment operations.
- Prevent the introduction of pollutants that will pass through the treatment works and be incompatible with the environment.
- Improve the feasibility of recycling and reclaiming the municipal and industrial wastewaters and biosolids.
- Enforce applicable EPA wastewater quality standards.
- Reduce the health and environmental risk of pollution caused by wastewater discharges to wastewater treatment plants.
