Virginia Water Resources Research Center, Virginia Tech , Blacksburg , VA . 114 pp. Notes Virginia follows the national goals set out by National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) that regulates water quality. It requires Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) tests to be performed by persons responsible for discharging a pollutant that may be considered toxic to organisms in the receiving water. The authority to use WET tests for regulating discharge is found under 9VAC 25-31-220 D.1. a.-d. Brine disposal and discharge from water treatment plants fall under this category (U.S. EPA 2002, Lawson 2004). Citing Literature Volume132, Issue1December 2005Pages 19-26 ReferencesRelatedInformation
