Page ii - Use of trade names is for identification only and does not imply endorsement by the Public Health Service or the US Department of Health and Human Services.
Page 31 - Practicable means of treating municipal sewage and other waterborne wastes to remove the maximum possible amounts of physical, chemical, and biological pollutants in order to restore and maintain the maximum amount of the Nation's water at a quality suitable for repeated reuse...
Page 1 - Service and encourage, cooperate with, and render assistance to other appropriate public (whether Federal, State, interstate, or local) authorities, agencies, and institutions, private agencies and institutions, and individuals in the conduct of, and promote the coordination of, research, investigations, experiments, demonstrations, and studies relating to the causes, control, and prevention of water pollution.
Page 30 - Water supply and pollution trends show that one of the most pressing problems in water quality management is the need to develop new treatment processes which will remove much more of the pollutional material from municipal and industrial wastes than is possible by present biological methods.
Page 1 - In the development of such comprehensive programs due regard shall be given to the improvements which are necessary to conserve such waters for public water supplies, propagation of fish and aquatic life, recreational purposes, and agricultural, industrial, and other legitimate uses.
Page 23 - Methods are needed to measure the pollutional characteristics of new wastes where traditional parameters no longer apply — methods which will accurately measure the effects of new pollutants on water quality and suitability for use. Methods are needed also for some of the older wastes and for natural pollutants, the pollutional effects of which have not been fully assessed.
Page 55 - B ) Improved methods and procedures to identify and measure the effects of pollutants on water uses, including those pollutants created by new technological developments ; and (C) Methods and procedures for evaluating the effects on water quality and water uses of augmented streamflows to control water pollution not susceptible to other means of abatement.
Page 41 - There are two broad categories of waste discharges. One can be collected and conveyed to a central place (municipal sewage, urban storm drainage, and most industrial wastes). The other cannot be collected and conveyed to a central place and, therefore, must be controlled by techniques other than waste treatment. Methods for elimination of...
