Municipal plants are given limits on parameters. Most ocean discharges have 30 mg/l BOD amd 30 mg/l Suspended Solids. Others dischareing into more sensative waters (think Chesapeake Bay)have more stringent requirements including nutrient removal. They could be BOD 10, SS 10 with a total nitrogen of <8 mg/l. Fecal coliform could be anywhere from 0 to 15/100 ml. Bob PDQ 36 Peace

It goes into the municipal system and if you are lucky they treat it for pathogens. Any reduction of BOD?? The rules against Lextrasans are just not scientifically supportable. All the buzz words in the world won't make it true. _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
