3. National Environmental Protection (Management of Solid and Hazardous Wastes) Regulations. NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION (EFFLUENT LIMITATION) REGULATIONS [S.I. 8 of 1991.] under section 40 [15th August, 1991] [Commencement. ] 1. Installation of anti‐pollution equipment (1) Every industry shall install anti‐pollution equipment for the detoxification of effluent and chemical discharges emanating from the industry. (2) An installation made pursuant to paragraph (1) of this regulation shall be based on the Best Available Technology (BAT), the Best Practical Technology (BPT) or the Uniform Effluent Standards (UES). 2. Waste water parameters (1) The selected waste water parameters for the industries specified in column 1 of the First Schedule to these Regulations are set out in columns 2 and 3 respectively of the Schedule. [First Schedule.] (2) The parameters shall be continuously monitored to ensure compliance with these Regulations. 3. Treatment of effluent (1) An industry which discharges effluent shall treat the effluent to a uniform level as specified in the Second Schedule to these Regulations to ensure assimilation by the receiving water into which the effluent is discharged. [Second Schedule.] (2) The nearest office of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency shall be furnished from time to time with the composition of any effluent treated as specified in paragraph (1) of this regulation. 4. Additional sectoral effluent limitation treatment An industry specified in column 1 of the Third Schedule to these Regulations shall be subject to the additional sectoral effluent limitations set out in columns 2 and 3 respectively of the Schedule. [Third Schedule.] 5. Penalty A person who contravenes a provision of these Regulations is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to the penalty specified in section 36 or 37 of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency Act. 6. Short title These Regulations may be cited as the National Environmental (Effluent Limitation) Regulations.
