Carnes, D. P.; Blum, S. R.

A program for computerized handling of information on quality of wastewater discharges at three Oak Ridge National Laboratory monitoring stations has been designed and implemented. This computer system analyses field and laboratory data and calculates water quality statistics appropriate for meeting National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) reporting requirements. The interactive nature of the program guarantees automatic identification of compliance violations for immediate notification of the responsible agencies. Reduction of manual processing has resulted in cost savings and greater reporting accuracy.
