Subject: Senate Bill 737, adopted during the 2007 legislative session, requires municipal permittees prepare reduction plans for persistent pollutants in their wastewater that exceed Maximum Contaminant Levels. The law authorizes the EQC to adopt rules to identify the pollutants a persistent pollutant reduction plan must address for priority persistent pollutants without an established Maximum Contaminant Level. The rule establishes the levels of persistent pollutants in municipal wastewater that trigger the requirement to prepare a persistent pollutant reduction plan if exceeded.
