She subsequently <br />received requests for more information from several of the Board members. Ms. Thompson <br />informed the Board that the NPDES permits require an evaluation every five (5) years. The City <br />recently completed an evaluation of the existing local industrial user discharge limitations. This <br />evaluation was required to be in compliance with the Clean Air Act. She noted the evaluation <br />showed that the current local limitations needed to be revised to significantly lower levels. The <br />proposed limits would be much lower than surrounding communities, and at least two (2) <br />industrial users would have to install additional pretreatment equipment to meet the lower limits. <br />
