The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires municipalities that operate wastewater treatment plants with capacity greater than 5 million gallons per day and which receive industrial wastewater to develop and implement a Pretreatment Program.
The City of Woodland operates a state-certified environmental testing laboratory which supports the City’s wastewater, drinking water and storm water utilities.
The Pollution Prevention Program (PPP) focuses commercial and industrial dischargers not regulated under the Industrial Pretreatment Program but whose wastewater discharges have the potential to adversely impact the operation and performance of the City’s Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) or wastewater collection system.
The City of Woodland has had a municipal wastewater treatment system in place for over 60 years (Treatment Ponds at Beamer & Rd 102, 1950; North Ponds in the 1970s).
