Urban Pollution Assignment Mod 2

A 'new direct discharger' is defined as a facility that releases pollution, started discharges after August 13, 1979, is not a 'new source', and lacks a final NPDES permit. Conventional pollutants include biochemical oxygen demand and fecal coliform, while priority pollutants are toxic pollutants identified by the EPA. Nonconventional pollutants encompass all other pollutants not classified as conventional or priority.

A “new direct discharger” is a facility or location that meets the following


criteria:
1) Creates or releases a discharge of pollution
2) The discharge did not begin before the date of August 13, 1979
3) The site is not a “new source”
4) Has not received a finally effective NPDES permit for discharges at
this location

Conventional pollutants are defined by the Clean Water Act, and include
biochemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids, fecal coliform, and
pH.
Priority pollutants are a subset of pollutants defined by the EPA as “toxic
pollutants.”
Nonconventional pollutants are all pollutants that do not fit into the above
categories.
