Article 1 "Administration and Enforcement" & Article VI "lndustrial Wastewater" contains the requirements of the federally mandated Environmental Protection Agency pretreatment regulations found in 40 CFR 403. This article regulates commercial and industrial facilities, as well as lists prohibitions and limitations for wastewater discharged to the City of Fort Worth Village Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility. Some areas exist within the City of Fort Worth where commercial and industrial facilities discharge wastewater to the TRA Central Regional and Denton Creek Wastewater Treatment Facilities. These industrial and commercial facilities must meet the prohibitions and limitations specified by the TRA pretreatment program as approved by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ}. In order to meet the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's {TCEQ} pretreatment requirements, the City's Pretreatment Program must undergo substantial modification to accommodate the changes periodically. City submitted a modification package to TCEQ and the City received a letter on April 17, 2006, identifying the completion of the submitted modification to the Pretreatment Program. In order to allow for the proper regulation of these commercial and industrial facilities, Article 1 "Administration and Enforcement" & Article V[ "Industrial Wastewater" has been amended to include definitions, prohibitions and limitations for those industrial and commercial facilities discharging wastewater to the Village Creek, TRA Central Regional and Denton Creek Wastewater Treatment Facilities.
