Texas Waste Water Discharge Permits

Texas Manufacturers Who Generate Waste Water Must Investigate Waste Water Discharge Permit Regulations Recognizing the Potential Need for A Waste Water Discharge Permit: Our past experience shows that many Texas manufacturers aren't even aware that they may require a waste water discharge permit. In sum, the only waste water from a manufacturing facility that can be "put down the drain" without a special permit is sewage from bathrooms, kitchens, etc.. Any other waste water generated from rinsing or cleaning operations, for [...]
