Ohio: No More POTWs

Posted on May 18, 2011 by Vorys

Ohio EPA and Ohio DNR appear to have reached agreement on a policy regarding the use of POTWs for brine disposal:  "Disposing directly into a surface water body, either directly or via a Publicy Owned Treatment Works (POTW), is not listed as one of these options [for brine disposal found in Ohio Rev. Code Section 1509.22].  Moving forward, ODNR does not envision using its authority to allow for discharges to surface waters either directly or via a POTW."
