MIL-HDBK-1005/17, DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE HANDBOOK NONDOMESTIC WASTEWATER CONTROL AND PRETREATMENT DESIGN CRITERIA (30 OCT 1998). This handbook provides guidance to environmental, operations, and design personnel for controlling the discharge of nondomestic wastewater to domestic wastewater systems for compliance with municipal and military pretreatment requirements. Key sources of nondomestic discharges at military installations are identified and characterized, and guidelines for selecting and implementing industrial wastewater management strategies are presented. The use of pollution prevention measures is emphasized as a preferred approach to compliance, and pollution prevention guidelines are presented. In addition, the handbook contains guidance for the selection, conceptual design, and procurement of systems for pretreatment or recycling of nondomestic wastewaters. The guidance presented in this handbook applies to most major military installations, but is not intended for shipyards, depots, or large industrial facilities discharging to industrial wastewater treatment systems. Direct discharge to a receiving water body is also not addressed. Likewise, the handbook is not intended as a detailed design manual but rather as an overview of the important considerations involved in implementing nondomestic wastewater pretreatment and recycling systems.
