EPA Improved Water Pollutant Monitoring Tool
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Technology
The EPA is improving access to the Water Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Pollutant Loading Tool.
The tool allows users to determine who is discharging water pollutant, what (and how much) pollutants they are discharging, and where they are discharging.
The new Pollutant Loading Tool can now be accessed on the Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) website. The water pollutant tool calculates pollutant loadings from permit and DMR data and offers a variety of ways to customize searches. Pollutant loadings are presented as pounds per year and as toxic-weighted pounds per year to account for variations in toxicity among pollutants.
The tool also ranks dischargers, industries, and watersheds based on pollutant mass and toxicity, and presents “top ten” lists to help you determine which discharges are important, which facilities and industries are producing these discharges, and which watersheds are impacted.
