Effluent- any wastewater in its natural
state issuing from a plant

Definitions
Mixing

discharge from a source mixes with the
receiving body of water
Strong Water- wastewater whose initial
BOD value before treatment is equal or
greater than 3000mg/L

Heavy Metals and Toxic

classified

as Class A, B, C, D, SA, SB, SC,


and SD depending on the values of the
following parameters

Conventional and Other Pollutants

Effluent Standards for BOD for


Strong Industrial Wastes
for

strong industrial wastewaters with


high BOD and where the receiving body

rules and regulations apply

Mixing Zone Requirements


the

designated uses of the receiving

it shall not create a barrier of migration
of aquatic life

it

and its width shall preferably be not
more than half the width of the
waterway

Mixing Zone Requirements


in

discharging hot effluents from power


plants, ore milling, and similar generators of
large volume of liquid wastes, the
permissible size of the mixing zone shall be
determined through modelling taking into
consideration the size, hydraulic and
hydrological data of the receiving body, and
the design of the wastewater outfall
it must not be used as a substitute for
wastewater treatment facility

Prohibitions
no

industrial or domestic sewage


effluents shall be discharged into Class
AA and SA waters
no new industrial plant with high waste
