ANI Pharmaceuticals - Wastewater Permit

We invite you to comment on the draft wastewater permit for the ANI Pharmaceuticals hormone facility in Baudette.

 

ANI Pharmaceuticals manufactures and packages pharmaceuticals in solid dose product form at its facility in Baudette. Wastewater from this facility is created from the cleaning of blending, coating, imprinting, and packaging equipment and as reject water from the facility’s reverse osmosis water treatment system. After basic pretreatment, the facility discharges wastewater to Baudette’s sanitary sewer. The facility discharges an average of approximately 900 gallons per day.

 

The draft water quality permit limits discharge based on federal categorical requirements for pharmaceutical manufacturing 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.
