INDUSTRIAL PRETREATMENT PROGRAM (IPP) Manatee County's IPP requires local industries and other non-domestic wastewater dischargers to comply with federal, state and local pretreatment standards, to ensure that the goals of the federal Clean Water Act are attained.

The objectives of the IPP are to:

Prevent the introduction of pollutants into our POTW that will interfere with its operation, including interference with its use or disposal of municipal sludge or treated wastewater;

Prevent the introduction of pollutants into our POTW that will pass through the treatment works or otherwise be incompatible with it; and improve opportunities to recycle and reclaim municipal and industrial wastewaters and sludges.

All facilities are required to submit a one-time compliance report form to the Manatee County Wastewater Compliance Office within 90 days after the first discharge to the sewer system.

The Dental Amalgam One-Time Compliance Report Form can be downloaded from the Related Forms and Manuals content above.

WASTEWATER DISCHARGE PERMIT PROCESS A complete description of the wastewater discharge permitting process for all SIU may be found in the Manatee County Government 2020 Pre Treatment Program Permit Guidance Manual (see Related Forms and Manuals above).
