Chapter 43: Industrial Wastewater

This chapter outlines SLAC programs and responsibilities required to comply with the rules and regulations regarding industrial wastewater and sanitary sewers administered by the South Bayside System Authority (SBSA) and the West Bay Sanitary District (WBSD). The relationship between SLAC and the SBSA and the WBSD is formalized in discharge regulations and wastewater discharge limits set forth in a permit. These limits are necessary to protect the sanitary sewer system and treatment plant as well as its operators, and are based on the ability of the sewage treatment plant to treat wastewater to safe levels before discharge to the San Francisco Bay.
