Duties assigned to an industrial waste section include which of the following?

• A. Attempting to locate and or identify sources of wastes that upset water treatment plants
• B. Inspecting discharges into collection systems
• C. Collect data and make recommendations regarding sewer-use ordinance violations by industries
• D. All of the Above

Answer: (D)

Industrial waste section duties cover identifying where wastes come from, checking what is discharged into the sewer system, and collecting data to support enforcement of sewer-use regulations by industries. Locating and identifying sources helps target the polluters and understand how they’re impacting the treatment plant. Inspecting discharges ensures compliance with the rules that protect the system and prevent upsets at the plant. Collecting data and making recommendations provides the evidence and guidance needed to address violations and strengthen ordinance enforcement. Since all three tasks are part of the same mission, the correct choice is all of the above.
