Abstract |
The Complex Effluent Toxicity Information System (CETIS), is a set of computerized functions that provide standardized entry, maintenance, storage, and retrieval of toxicity test data. CETIS is designed to upload into both the toxicity test component of the STORET/BIOS system and into the NCC CETIS national database. CETIS is also designed to function as a standalone toxicity test data storage and retrieval. CETIS should be used by permitting and compliance functions at all levels of government. CETIS is also an important tool which assists dischargers in complying with the Clean Water Act. The system provides National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitees with an efficient mechanism for the storage and retrieval of biomonitoring data. PC/CETIS is a completely menu-driven turnkey system with many unique features. Extensive data entry quality assurance processing improves data integrity and reduces turnaround time. A comprehensive, expandable set of system utilities expedites data entry and file maintenance. System security protects file integrity against unauthorized use. An on-line 'HELP' utility is available at all levels of system processing. |
