  Section  1.  The environmental conservation law is amended by adding a
new section 17-0513 to read as follows:
S 17-0513. STANDARDS OF PERFORMANCE FOR WASTEWATER FACILITIES.
  NO WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY IN THE STATE SHALL ACCEPT ANY  WASTE-
WATER  FROM  HYDRAULIC  FRACTURING OPERATIONS UNLESS SUCH FACILITY MEETS
THE REQUIREMENTS ESTABLISHED IN SECTION 17-0709 OF THIS ARTICLE.
  S 2. The environmental conservation law is amended  by  adding  a  new
section 17-0709 to read as follows:
S 17-0709. WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES.

CONTROL OF THE DISCHARGE  OF  POLLUTANTS  FROM  FACILITIES  WHICH  TREAT

PERFORMANCE SHALL PERMIT NO DISCHARGE OF POLLUTANTS, OR IF NOT FEASIBLE,
SHALL REFLECT THE  GREATEST  DEGREE  OF  EFFLUENT  REDUCTION  ACHIEVABLE

GY,  PROCESSES,  OPERATING METHODS, OR OTHER ALTERNATIVES. THIS STANDARD
OF PERFORMANCE SHALL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT  THE  FEDERAL
