| Description |
Washington State’s water quality law and regulations require all facilities that discharge wastewater to apply AKART (All Known, Available, and Reasonable methods of Treatment) to their wastewater as a condition to be issued a wastewater discharge permit. Ecology defines AKART for land treatment systems, but its Water Quality Program will consider, on a case-by-case basis, innovative alternatives to storage. Ecology worked with Basic American Foods, a potato processing facility, to re-engineer their wastewater discharge process so that it would meet the requirements for AKART and therefore be more protective of ground water in the area. |
