Wastewater Management Study for Cleveland - Akron Metropolitan and Three Rivers Watershed Area. Appendix IV. Industrial Wastewater,

The principal objective of the Phase I investigation was to identify the industrial wastewater management problem as it exists today and is anticipated to exist in the future. Specific objectives of the study may be enumerated as follows: to inventory significant industrial wastewater effluents within the Study Area which discharge directly to receiving waters or to municipal collection systems; to project industrial waste discharges on ten year intervals to obtain estimates of wastewater flows for the years 1990-2020; to evaluate the wastes produced by each industrial category with respect to their compatibility for treatment in municipal wastewater systems; to delineate water requirements by specific industrial groups for different uses and identify sources of water which might be reused; to determine wastewater management policies being considered or implemented by state and local agencies and the effect of these policies on the treatment of industrial wastes; and to discuss the applicability of combined industrial wastewater treatment within special industrial wastewater treatment facilities and to discuss the feasibility of two such projects within the Study Area.
