EPA Effulent Turbidity Limits

EPA Effulent Turbidity Limits

EPA Effulent Turbidity Limits

(OP)
Hi:

I was wondering if anyone has been able to decipher just what EPA is trying to propose with its new turbidity effluent limitation for construction sites.  It doesn't seem to be a hard proposal for a regulation but more of a request for comment on several proposals.  Anyone have any insight on this? This is the link to the announcement:   http://www.epa.gov/ost/guide/construction/  Thanks, Bart  

RE: EPA Effulent Turbidity Limits

This appears to be a request for comments on the EPA's proposal for a regulation that they have narrowed to 3 options.  They are pushing Option 2. It appears that this option would require numeric turbidity limits be met for certain sites through chemical assisted clarification and filtration as well as non-numeric standards(passive controls) for other sites.
