Water Quality and Industrial Surveillance (WQIS) provides plant support
through its control and oversight of approximately 185 Significant
Industrial Users (SIUs), 150 Industrial Surcharges, 140 Categorical
Industrial Users (CIUs), 650 general industrial users, and 550 dental
offices. Additionally, WQIS provides spill response and/or mitigation
to chemical products accidentally or deliberately discharged to the
collection system, appropriately bills industrial users, investigates
water leaks, and conducts environmental sampling and monitoring of
streams and rivers and near-shore Lake Erie within the District's
service area.
WQIS is responsible for complying with all National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) pretreatment requirements. By controlling
industrial discharges, WQIS supports all District wastewater treatment
plants in meeting their NPDES limits.
WQIS also plays a proactive role regarding pending regulatory
issues such as mercury, pretreatment streamlining and Whole Effluent
Toxicity (WET) issues. WQIS also processes all applications for Sewer
System Charge Based on Usage of the System (SSCBOUTS), Non User Status,
Non Discharge Status and UST Temporary Discharge Permits.
