Section 310.232 - Dilution Prohibited as a Substitute for Treatment

Except where expressly authorized to do so by an applicable categorical pretreatment standard or requirement, no industrial user may increase the use of process water or, in any other way, attempt to dilute a discharge as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with a pretreatment standard or requirement.
