Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses the total maximum daily load (TMDL) program which regulates pollutants to ensure that water quality standards can be attained; section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires states to identify waters that are impaired by pollution, even after application of pollution controls. The report focuses on new challenges facing the TMDL program, including more complex TMDLs, larger scale impairments, and nonpoint sources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A recent regulatory program that will provide unique challenges and opportunities for the Corps of Engineers over the next 15 years or more is the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Program. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA 1999b), establishing a TMDL is part of a process whereby impaired or threatened water bodies and the pollutant(s) causing the impairment are systematically identified and a scientifically based strategy a TMDL-is established to correct the impairment or eliminate the threat and restore the water body. While the TMDL Program itself as administered by the EPA is relatively recent, the requirement for the program lies in the Clean Water Act (CWA) of 1972. The CWA contained a provision Section 303(d) requiring all states to develop and implement TMDLs for their impaired water bodies (those failing to meet water quality standards) and water bodies threatened to become impaired. This requirement has not been aggressively enforced until recently, largely because of the difficulties involved in that enforcement. While in the past regulatory control has focused on individual water bodies and point sources, under the TMDL process all sources (point and non-point) must be considered (USEPA 1991, 1999a, 1999b, 1999f), which poses unique scientific and regulatory challenges. The TMDL process is essentially driving the watershed approach to water quality management (YSI 1999).

This book was released on 2001-04-30 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complete, practical coverage of pollution control regulations and water quality modeling Water Quality Modeling for Wasteload Allocations and TMDLs provides practical guidance for engineers charged with determining the volume and character of wastewater that a body of water can receive without suffering environmental damage. Following the discussion on water pollution control regulations and their relationships to water quality modeling and wasteload allocation for determining the total maximum daily load (TMDL), the first half of the book focuses on quantifying the model coefficients to characterize physical, chemical, and biological processes of a variety of water quality problems. The remainder of the book guides engineers in the application of EPA-developed models for regulatory use. Presenting numerous case studies and a substantial amount of data, this comprehensive guide: * Covers practical applications of wasteload allocation * Provides guidance to develop technical information for obtaining National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits * Demonstrates the application of STREAM, QUAL2E, WASP, and HAR03 Water Quality Modeling for Wasteload Allocations and TMDLs is an essential resource for state and federal water quality agencies, consulting engineering firms, publicly owned treatment works, environmental biologists and chemists, and public health officials involved with pollution control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) are required under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) for water bodies that do not attain water quality standards after technology-based pollution control requirements are applied. While this provision has existed in the CWA since 1972, it was brought to the forefront through a series of citizen suits in the 1980's and 1990's which required states and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) to list water bodies not attaining water quality standards (so-called 303(d0-listed water bodies) and develop maximum loadings as necessary to meet water quality objectives. ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the relatively new strategies for meeting ambient water quality standards is the establishment of a Total Maximum Daily Load, or TMDL. In brief, the TMDL program requires that each state identify waterbodies which fail to achieve water quality standards based on point source controls, and then develop a plan for additional (point and nonpoint source) controls to meet the standards.
Download or read book Environmental Forensics written by R E Hester and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2008-06-27 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Environmental forensics' is a combination of analytical and environmental chemistry, which is useful in the court room context. It therefore involves field analytical studies and both data interpretation and modelling connected with the attribution of pollution events to their causes. Recent decades have seen a burgeoning of legislation designed to protect the environment and, as the costs of environmental damage and clean-up are considerable, not only are there prosecutions by regulatory agencies, but the courts are also used as a means of adjudication of civil damage claims relating to environmental causes or environmental degradation. As a result is the increasing number of prosecutions of companies who have breached regulations for environmental protection and in civil claims relating to harm caused by excessive pollutant releases to the environment. Such cases can become extremely protracted as expert witnesses provide their sometimes conflicting interpretations of environmental measurement data and their meaning. It is in this context that environmental forensics is developing as a specialism, leading to greater formalisation of investigative methods which should lead to more definitive findings and less scope for experts to disagree. Now a significant subject in its own right, at least one journal devoted to the field and a number of degree courses have sprung up. As a result of the topicality and rapid growth of the subject area, is the publication of this book - the 26th volume in the highly acclaimed Issues in Environmental Science and Technology Series. This volume contains authoritative articles by a number of the leading practitioners across the globe in the environmental forensics field and aims to cover some of the main techniques and areas to which environmental forensics are being applied. The content is comprehensive and describes a number of the key areas within environmental forensics - topics covered by the authors include: - Source identification issues - Microbial techniques - Metal contamination and methods of assigning liability - The use of isotopes to determine sources and their applications - Molecular biological methods - Hydrocarbon fingerprinting techniques - Oil chemistry and key compound identification - The emerging role of environmental forensics in groundwater pollution Additionally, the volume considers specific pollutants and long-lived pollutants of groundwater such as halocarbons which have presented particular problems and which are described in some depth, as well as the way in which chemical degradation processes can lead to compositional changes which provide valuable information. The book provides a comprehensive overview of many of the key areas of environmental forensics written by some of the leading experts in the field. It will be both of specialist use to those seeking expert insights into the field and its capabilities as well as of more general interest to those involved in both environmental analytical science and environmental law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The development and allocation of total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) is a primary tool for addressing water pollution in surface waters that have been designated as "impaired" under the federal Clean Water Act. A TMDL is the amount of a pollutant that a waterbody (or waterbody segment) can receive and not exceed water quality standards."--Page 1.
