Technologies usedto treat discharge
Cost economics
Identifies best availabletechnology economicallyachievable for everyindustry
Sets regulatory requirementsbased on the performance ofthat technology
Considers comments fromindustries, public & otheragencies and issues finalguidelines
Effluent Guidelines are defined by EPA on an industry-by-industry basis
As per Clean Water Act, EPA annuallyreviews and if required, revises theseguidelines.EPA publishes a plan every other year,seeks comment/suggestions fromdifferent agencies and establishschedule for annual review / revision
New industries: Further, EPAidentifies industries dischargingmore than trivial amounts of toxicor nonconventional pollutants forwhich the Effluent Guidelines hasnot been formulated
EPA is required to develop schedulefor completing effluent guidelineswithin 3 years for these industries
USEPA – Process & roles for developing standards & guidelines

Effluent Guidelines are implemented as follows
Direct discharges are regulated by National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program - permits
that specify limits using BPT,BAT, BST and NSPS
Indirect discharges (non-domestic from industries through public treatment works) are regulated through the National
pre-treatment program of NPDES – categorical Pre-treatment standards standards issued based on PSNS & PSES
BPT - Best Practicable Control Technology Currently AvailableBCT - Best Conventional Pollutant Control TechnologyBAT - Best Available Technology Economically Achievable
NSPS - New Source Performance StandardsPSNS - Pre-treatment Standards for New SourcesPSES - Pre-treatment Standards for Existing Sources

Israel – Wastewater management
More than 70% of the treated water is used for Agricultural Irrigation
Institutional mechanisms in Water sector
Israel Water Authority- Established in 2007, responsible for the
administration, operation and development (including preservation and
restoration) of water resources, the development of new water
resources, and oversight of water consumers and producers
Policy reforms Institutional Support
National Water Carrier, Mekorot- Established in 1937, Mekorot
provides approximately 80% of Israel’s drinking water & meets 70% of the
total annual water demand in Israel. Additionally, Mekorot owns 34
desalination plants, which provide approximately 40 MCM/yr of treated
brackish water. It also treats approximately 35% of Israel’s wastewater
To aid MoIEW Ministry of Environment works in collaboration with
Ministry of Agriculture for long-term strategies for sustainable agriculture;
Formation of an Inter-Ministerial Committee (Inbar), which
developed regulations on water quality;
Jerusalem
Institute of
Policy Research
Policy Research Institute - Established in 1978, as independent
policy think tank close interaction between consumers as it (a) eases
applying sophisticated methods in agricultural branches; (b) technological
advancement, new irrigation techniques & innovative agro-mech
equipment
Private Players contribute in two ways: (a) by
producing and supplying water in the areas that
Mekorot does not cover, & (b) by constructing and
operating desalination plants. There is no private
ownership of water resources in Israel -> All
plants developed via private financing in PPP

Sweden – a sustainable waste management initiative
A clear division of responsibility for waste management
makes long-term planning & investment easier.
The Waste Ordinance imposes physical, economic and legal responsibility for various stakeholders
Waste owners Responsible for ensuring the waste is managed as per regulations, sort & disposing
Producers •Producers of certain goods are responsible for them when they become waste•They establish JVs for waste management
Municipalities • Responsible for household waste, waste planning and enforcement
• Impose tariffs on landfill waste based on rate of tax.
County admin. boards
• Act as regulators and issue permits• Guide municipalities on issues &
responsible for regional waste planning
Swedish EPA • Takes initiative & implements waste policy• Monitors progress to ensure efficiency
EnvironmentalCourts
• Issue permits for large facilities • The Environmental Court of Appeal decides
appeals/complaints
Municipalities responsible for recycling by incineration & biological treatment, and disposal by way of landfill
Private service providers are appointed by municipalities, as they have overall responsibility
Industrial waste collection & materials recovery by private players –incl. energy generation after incineration/ treatment in select cases
