Manage your commercial account, access billing and payments, find commercial rebates and savings specific to your industry. Throughout the dewatering process, the company is committed to protecting water quality standards by meeting the requirements of the Effluent Limitations Guidelines Rule and its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits and detailed dewatering plans, as well as the Coal Combustion Residuals Rules. ; O.C.G.A. See also what's at your library, or elsewhere. From aquifer testing to baseline monitoring to low-flow sampling, we're your source for the best in groundwater monitoring instrumentation and software. The User Interface allows the user to enter search criteria by monitoring station number, waterbody name (stream name), geopolitical boundary (county), watershed boundary (Hydrological Unit Codes, River Basin), and other parameters. *NEW FORM*, Tracer Date Senior Project Manager . These results show that the water that is discharged meets permit limits and receiving stream water quality is being protected. GA EPD uses a Macroinvertebrate Multi-Metric Index (MMI) to determine the quality of the macroinvertebrate community based on the number and types of macroinvertebrate species present in a stream within a particular subecoregion (Level IV ecoregion). These observations combined with limited water quality data are measured to contextualize the IBI scores. The water will be tested and comprehensively treated before either being discharged through a permitted outfall, or reused for plant processes.

That plan identifies the enhanced water treatment system controls and testing that will be used during the process to ensure that the water discharged is below water quality standards. EPD has developed the Georgia Surface Water and Groundwater Quality Monitoring and Assessment Strategy (2021) that outlines Georgia's monitoring objectives, monitoring design, and core water quality indicators. Author: Georgia Power will continue to monitor groundwater during and after the closure process to comply with the requirements in the federal and state rules. Coastal Plain aquifers generally are confined, except near their northern limits where the aquifers crop out or are near land surface. Who Are My Soil & Water Conservation District Supervisors?
