The complete text of this standard is compulsory. In order to strengthen the prevention and control of water pollution in Tianjin, protect and improve the water environment, safeguard human health and promote the sustainable development of environment, economy and society, DB12/356-2008 Integrated wastewater discharge standard was revised according to the Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Control of Water Pollution and the Regulations of Tianjin on Prevention and Control of Water Pollution. The following main changes have been made after the revision of this standard: ——the application scope of standard has been adjusted; ——70 pollutant control indicators have been added, so that the control items were increased from 5 in the original standard to 75; ——the discharge limits for some pollutants have been tightened; ——provisions on negotiated discharge have been added. This standard is the basic requirement of water pollutant discharge control. If the requirements of environmental impact assessment document or pollutant discharge permit are stricter than this standard, the approved environmental impact assessment document or pollutant discharge permit shall be followed. This standard is developed in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009. This standard was proposed by and is under the jurisdiction of Tianjin Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau. This standard was approved by Tianjin People's Government in January 2018. This standard was firstly issued in January, 2008 and is revised for the first time. Integrated wastewater discharge standard 1 Application scope This standard specifies the terms and definitions of wastewater discharge, corresponding standard grading, requirements for pollutant discharge control, requirements for pollutant monitoring, implementation and supervision, etc. This standard is applicable to the discharge management of water pollutants from existing pollutant discharge units in Tianjin, as well as the environmental impact assessment of construction projects, the design of environmental protection facilities of construction projects, the completion acceptance and the discharge management after putting into service. This standard is applicable to pollutant discharge behaviors allowed by law. The site selection of the pollution source set newly and the management of the current pollution source in the special protected zone shall be executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of laws, regulations and rules such as Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Control of Water Pollution, Marine Environment Protection Law of the People's Republic of China and Law of the People's Republic of China on Environmental Impact Assessment. Since the comprehensive discharge standard and the professional discharge standard are not implemented alternately, where there is a national or provincial professional water pollutant discharge standard, the corresponding professional water pollutant discharge standard shall be implemented according to its application scope, while the water pollutant discharge from other pollutant discharge units shall comply with this standard. The discharge control requirements of water pollutants specified in this standard are applicable to the behaviors of the discharge units discharging water pollutants, directly or indirectly, out of their legal boundaries. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
