A method and system for in-basin neutralization is provided. More specifically, neutralizer is added to a basin in excess of an amount of neutralizer suitable to neutralize a treatment solution in a reservoir in fluid communication with the basin. A first portion of the treatment solution is added to the basin and is contacted with the first portion of the treatment solution to form a secondary solution. The first portion of the treatment solution is neutralized with the neutralizer. A first portion of the secondary solution is removed from the basin. A second portion of the treatment solution is added to the basin. The second portion of the treatment solution is contacted with a second portion of the secondary solution remaining the basin to form a tertiary solution. The second portion of the treatment solution is neutralized with neutralizer in the second portion of the secondary solution.
