Seventy local facilities that met or exceeded wastewater discharge permit requirements in 2012 earned environmental compliance awards from King County’s Industrial Waste Program.
Each year, the Industrial Waste Program, which operates as part of King County’s Wastewater Treatment Division, honors local facilities whose business practices contribute to regional pollution prevention goals.
The Industrial Waste Program presented a Gold Award to 46 facilities for compliance with wastewater discharge regulations every month in 2012 with no violations, and 24 facilities earned a Silver Award for having no King County monitoring discharge violations in 2012. Six facilities earned Commitment-to-Compliance Awards for meeting their respective discharge permit standards every month for five consecutive years with no violations of any kind.
Since 1969, the Industrial Waste Program has required industrial facilities to pretreat wastewater before discharging it into the sewer to protect the County’s treatment system and its workers as well as the environment and public health. In addition to applying federal, state and local environmental regulations and monitoring facilities for compliance, the program educates industrial users about regulatory requirements and pollution prevention.
The program operates as part of the County’s Wastewater Treatment Division. For more information about the King County Industrial Waste Program, visit www.kingcounty.gov/industrialwaste.
