Municipal Industrial Pre-Treatment Program (MIPP)
MIPP is in charge of locating and identifying the industrial users in the township that use the sanitary sewer system to dispose of process wastewater. The township samples and inspects these facilities to monitor and determine compliance with its Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit.
MIPP also examines self-monitoring reports and other notifications submitted by industrial users. It provides an annual report to the EPA which requires public notification of industrial users that have significantly violated applicable pre-treatment standards and requirements. It also develops and enforces local limits to control the discharge of pollutants by industrial users into treatment plants, and effectively enforce all pre-treatment standards and requirements.
