What causes a POTW discharge violation?

POTW discharge violations most commonly result from effluent pH outside the required 6.0–9.0 range, missing or incomplete discharge logs, undocumented batch events, and probe drift from inadequate sensor maintenance — any of which can trigger EPA enforcement action under 40 CFR §403.

PRAB pH Adjustment Systems prevent violations by automatically verifying every batch before release, logging pH, volume, and timestamp for every discharge event, and generating scheduled compliance reports that eliminate gaps in the audit trail.
