Water Quality Criteria and Advisories, Sediment Criteria and Complex Mixtures Limits: Chronological Development

摘要

The development and implementation of Water Quality Criteria and Advisories, Sediment Quality Criteria, and Whole Effluent/Complex Mixtures Limits have evolved scientifically since the early 1900's. The technology transfer document is an attempt to capture this rich and scientifically rewarding history. In developing this chronology, the authors attempt to provide the reader not only a chronology of events, but also the resulting regulatory actions that followed the scientific developments. Finally, they have added an appendix which includes additional support materials for waste load allocation, monitoring, and other support documents.
