WIDESPREAD FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH U.S.STORM WATER REGULATIONS FOR INDUSTRY-PART I: PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DATA TO ESTIMATE NUMBER OF POTENTIALLY REGULATED FACILITIES

摘要

Storm water discharges associated with industrial activities must be characterized for effective analysis of pollutant loads in urban watersheds. Regulatory compliance lists and inventories developed for other purposes may be poor estimators of discharging facilities. This research evaluated use-fulness , flaws, and limitations of multiple forms of existing databases; then demonstrated methods to assess, combine, and correct databases to refine estimates of potentially discharging facilities in a given.
