EPA Publishes Final Aquaculture Effluent Rule
Yesterday, the EPA final rule for effluent limitations guidelines and new source performance standards for the concentrated aquatic animal production (aquaculture) point source category was published in the Federal Register. To review the final rule or print a copy go to EPA's website at: www.epa.gov/guide/aquaculture.
This document is 40 pages and contains the preamble to the rule and the rule text. At this same website you can review and download a 1-page fact sheet that summarizes the rule, a press release and access to support and background materials. Other information relating to the proposed rule is also available.
EPA is preparing a BMP Guidance Document with their contractor, Tetra-Tech that should also be available soon. EPA is interested in organizing training workshops for permit writers and permitted facilities at a later time.
