At the beginning of the twentieth centuity, the automobile was still a novelty. In the United States more cars were then powered by steam engines and bat-teity-electric systems than by internal-combustion engines. By the end of the twentieth century, the automobile had become an integral part of the American lifestyle, with approximately one privately... 

The degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the BAT economically achievable, which can be found from the U.S. Code of Federal Register 40CFR-Chapter I, Part 465, Coil Coating Point Source Category4... 

Data from GEOSECS, TTO, BATS, and HOTS and other major oceanographic research projects, such as the WOCE (World Ocean Circulation Experiment) are available online. The GEOSECS, TTO, and WOCE datasets are part of the Java Ocean Atlas, which provides a graphic exploration environment for generating vertical profiles, cross-sections, and property-property plots. Many of the data presented in this text were obtained from this source. 

The Substitution Principle is closely tied to the general goal of elimination, which is manifested in Article 5. A direct consequence of the employment of the Substitution Principle is the application of best Available Technologies (BAT) and Best Environmental Practice (BEP) when dealing with unintentional sources as classified in Annex C. BAT as such also requires the use of less hazardous substances. (Annex C, part V, (A (b)) again refers to the Substitution Principle demanding in para (d) the replacement of feed materials which are POPs or where there is a direct link between the materials and releases of POPs from the source and consequently health effects and harm for humans and the environment. 

The EPA has established four different control technologies for the petroleum refining industry best practicable control technology (BPT), best available technology economically achievable (BAT), best conventional pollutant control technology (BCT), and new source performance standards (NSPS). Table 13 shows the BPT and NSPS standards that must be met by the various subcategories (40 CFR Part 419). The limitations for BPT actually incorporate those of both BAT and BCT for this industry. 

In addition to these effluent standards, the EPA has also established separate BPT, BAT, BCT, and NSPS standards for ballast water and BPT, BAT, and BCT standards for contaminated storm water (40 CFR Part 419). Once-through cooling water is allowed for direct discharge if the total organic carbon concentration does not exceed 5 mg/L.
