Command-and-control processes are the traditional way in which environmental pollution has been regulated.

The aim of the analysis was to determine the likely benefit from local containment of the main pulse flow disturbance in terms of requirements for the treatment system. The treatment system was being required to move from 95% compliance with discharge consents of 6-9.5 pH to 100% compliance. Two CSTRs with 10 minutes residence time at normal flows were already available.
