Section 340-052-0050 - Treatment Works and Sewerage Systems Utilizing New or Unproven Technology

The Department encourages the development of new technology and will approve plans of such provided adequate documentation is submitted. The burden of proof for demonstrating new processes, treatment systems, and technologies lies with the design engineer. Documented case histories where any such new application has been successfully and similarly demonstrated or operated on a full scale basis shall be submitted. Demonstrations shall be at other than bench scale and shall be at field conditions such that the prototype information can be validly scaled up to a working facility. Experimental data need not be acquired solely from actual permanent operating facilities. For all such proposals, contingency plans shall be presented which will assure that in event of failure, public health and water quality would be protected.
