Controlling Discharges of Water Plant Wastes to the Ohio River
The question of regulating discharges of water plant wastes to the Ohio River was recently addressed by the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission. A study undertaken in 1981 indicated that effluents from the drinking water treatment plant processes of sedimentation, coagulation, and filtration contributed little or no additional loading to the river. Across‐the‐board, technology‐based requirements for removing waste solids prior to discharge were therefore deemed inappropriate because of the cost of such systems with no benefit to the receiving waters. The policy adopted allows controlled release of such discharges on a case‐by‐case basis, provided that no adverse effects on designated stream uses will result.
