Centralized Waste Treatment ( CWT ) - 40 CFR 437
The EPA defines a CWT facility as: "any facility that treats or recycles any hazardous or non-hazardous industrial waste, hazardous or non-hazardous wastewater, and/or used material (e.g. used oil) from off-site."

CWT History
On December 22, 2003, Industrial Water Services, Inc., along with all other CWT facilities in the United States, became subject to the Pretreatment Standards contained in the Centralized Waste Treatment (CWT) Point Source Category 40 CFR 437 - also known as the CWT Rule. The Rule applies to the treatment and discharge of wastewater from all CWT facilities to Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) as well as CWT facilities that discharge to surface waters. This Rule was created in an effort to further reduce the amount of pollutants that are discharged into U. S. waterways every day. The control authority as defined in the CWT Rule will enforce the Rule. The control authority may be the local POTW, state environmental agency or the EPA. CWT facilities not in compliance with the Federal Rule will be required to cease operations.

CWT Requirements
The CWT Rule requires that individual waste streams be characterized into three subcategories: Metals, Oils or Organics. Each IWS facility has been modified to accommodate waste streams from all three subcategories. Each IWS facility is currently permitted to discharge to their respective POTW under the CWT Rule and is in full compliance with all requirements of the CWT Rule. It is important to note that the CWT facility a generator sends its material to, must be properly permitted for that subcategory. In other words, a facility that is permitted for Metals subcategory material only may not accept Organics or Oils subcategory material for discharge.
