Notification of Specified Facilities under the Water Pollution Control Act
SK-06 | Water Pollution Control Act | Specified facility | Installation notification
When you install equipment that discharges wastewater. From checking whether it is a specified facility to filing at least 61 days before construction starts.
Among equipment that discharges wastewater, such as for cleaning, plating or reactions, installing a specified facility under the Water Pollution Control Act requires notification at least 61 days before construction starts. Prefectural ordinances may also designate equipment not covered by the national list as notifiable facilities. Installing or operating without notification is punishable. The notification describes the structure and use of the facility, the wastewater treatment method, and the volume and quality of discharged water. Afterwards, obligations such as meeting effluent standards and measuring and recording continue. Our administrative scrivener, a former chemical-company researcher, checks from equipment specifications and processes whether it is a specified facility, and prepares the notification and attachments. We also organize other environmental notifications needed for the same equipment, such as under the Air Pollution Control Act or Noise Regulation Act.
