Brooks Manufacturing Company

This draft permit is being issued to Brooks Manufacturing Company. The proposed modification includes reducing the monitoring frequency from monthly to quarterly and removing the average limits for pentachlorophenol (PCP) in the permit. The permit contains language to allow making these changes because the facility has demonstrated that no PCP product has been used nor that it has PCP treated wood stored on-site.

Background

We regulate wastewater released from municipalities and industries using the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Wastewater Discharge Permit. This permit regulates wastewater that goes directly into lakes, rivers, Puget Sound, or the ocean (surface water). All wastewater must be treated before it goes into surface water to protect human health and aquatic life.
