Description:
This manual was prepared to provide a tool to aid the Equivalency staff of the Environmental Monitoring and Support Laboratory - Cincinnati in evaluating applications for alternate analytical methods under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits Program. The 'Effluent Guidelines and Standards' point source category subparts were examined to identify the appropriate Standard Industrial Classification codes, and the analytical parameters for required testing for Best Practicable Technology, 1977 and Best Available Technology, 1983. A sample of 1051 actual NPDES Permits from the ten Environmental Protection Agency Regions was analyzed to determine which parameters are required to be monitored by each industry.
