ABA Water Systems - Wastewater Permit
We invite you to comment on the draft wastewater permit for the ABA Water Systems in Plainview.
ABA Water Systems regenerates ion exchange resins used in water treatment systems at its facility in Plainview. Wastewater from this facility is created from the cleaning of these resins to remove metals such as copper and zinc. Once the batch treatment process is completed, the facility discharges wastewater to the Plainview/Elgin Sanitary Sewer District for final disposal. The facility discharges an average of approximately 28,000 gallons per day. The draft water quality permit limits discharge based on federal categorical requirements for centralized waste treatment facilities and on applicable state requirements.
Wastewater from industrial and commercial sources may contain pollutants at levels that could adversely affect the water quality in area wetlands, streams, rivers, and lakes. Water quality permits - or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits - establish specific limits and requirements to protect Minnesota's surface and groundwater quality. All wastewater must be treated before it goes into surface water to protect human health and aquatic life. Permits are regularly reviewed and updated as they expire, allowing the MPCA to incorporate new information about the impacts of pollutants on the environment in future permits.
