Effluent limits and exceedances

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; the 60 with the most exceedances of 65 are shown.

Inspections, violations and enforcement

EPA’s single-event violation file, as loaded, holds no violation for NPDES MAG590012.
