Effluent limits and exceedances

32Pollutants on file
28Under a numeric limit
29With a violation of any kind
9With an effluent exceedance

An effluent exceedance is a discharge monitoring report value over the permit’s numeric limit (EPA’s violation code E90). A violation of any kind also counts a report not filed. Each row is EPA’s own count for that pollutant.
