Abstract |
The report presents available information that is used to examine the impact of water quality required by Public Law 92-500 on the effluent quality discharged from publicly owned wastewater treatment plants and assesses the adequacy of existing technology to meet these requirements. The report also identifies effluent standards that are more stringent than the national minimum requirement for 'secondary' treatment. A major effort was, therefore, devoted to reviewing state water quality standards, identifying all water quality limited stream segments within each state, and summarizing and evaluating concentrations of pollutants in municipal wastewater treatment plant effluents reported in the 1973 Needs Survey. A comparison of existing technology with projected needs indicates that some form of technology is available to achieve the required removal of suspended solids nitrogen and phosphorus. However, development and demonstration of additional technology are needed to reduce BOD concentrations to the required limits and to provide alternate disinfection processes. |
