How often must Significant Industrial Users (SIUs) be inspected?

Significant Industrial Users (SIUs) must be inspected once a year to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and standards. This annual inspection frequency is important because SIUs are identified as those that have the potential to contribute significantly to the pollution of wastewater treatment systems due to the volume or nature of their discharges.

Conducting inspections annually allows regulatory authorities to monitor the practices of these industrial operations closely, verify their compliance with permit limits, assess potential impacts on the wastewater treatment facility, and implement necessary actions if violations are found. This regular oversight is crucial for maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of wastewater management systems and protecting the environment.
