We hope you can join SCS Engineers for our next client webinar. Feel free to share this invitation with others in the meat, poultry, or food and beverage industries who feel the impact of changing effluent limitation rules.
Live on Thursday, July 24, 2025, at Noon Eastern Time for 1 hour(11 am Central, 10 am Mountain, 9 am Pacific)
The EPA proposes updated effluent limitation guidelines (ELGs) for meat and poultry product facilities, aiming to reduce wastewater pollution, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus discharged from meat and poultry processing facilities. These changes represent a significant shift in regulatory expectations for the industries and facilities, including those that would apply to additional direct and indirect dischargers. The EPA has closed the public comment period, but state and local restrictions continue throughout the U.S.
Webinar Focus
SCS Engineers is providing a 1-hour forum and other resources to help the industry understand the implications of new ELG guidelines. Dr. Todd DeJournett will cover new regulations and stricter limits on nitrogen and the proposed phosphorus limits, pretreatment for oil and grease, total suspended solids, and biochemical oxygen demand.
Webinar Benefits
Attendees will better understand the compliance requirements, which will help determine your next steps, potential technical solutions, capital requirements (new equipment, & training), and the impact on operational costs from new waste streams. Early strategies are a significant asset, as states and localities are also beginning to impose stricter wastewater limitations, which could slow down the permitting process for your operation.
Who Should Attend and Your Privacy
The SCS live webinar allows facility management, environmental, and sustainability staff to prepare for stricter guidelines; attendees may ask questions about their concerns while maintaining anonymity.
