Ideally, lakes and streams have a pH between 6 and 8. However, according to the National Surface Water Survey (NSWS) conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency between 1984 and 1986, the most acidic lake in the country, Little Echo Pond in Franklin, New York, had a pH of 4.2. According to the same survey, the Pine Barrens region of New Jersey also has a very high percentage of acidic rivers. More than 90% of the streams in that area are considered acidic. This is very bad news for the fish that live in these lakes and streams. 

Shipment of hydrazine solutions is regulated in the United States by the Department of Transportation (DOT) which classifies all aqueous solutions between 64.4 and 37% N2H4 as "Corrosive" materials with a subsidiary risk of "Poison". Hydrazine has been identified by both the Environmental Protection Agency and the DOT as a hazardous material and has been assigned a reportable quantity (RQ) of 0.450 kg (1 lb) if spilled. Dmms for the shipment of these solutions must bear both the DOT specification "Corrosive" and "Poison" labels in association with the markings "RQ Hydrazine Aqueous Solution UN 2030." Aqueous solutions of 37% concentration or less are a hazard Class 6.1, UN 3293, Packing Group III and require "Keep Away From Food" placards and labels. 

Provides regulator). information for the chemical process industiy. The ChemAlliance site was made possible in large part due to funding provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. ChemAlliance is a partnership between the Chemical Industiy, EPA s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, and the ChemAlliance staff who reside at Michigan Technological University, Pacific Northwest National Laborator)>, and University of Wisconsin. 

USEPA = United States Environmental Protection Agency. No specified time interval between field measurements. If the purge volume is small, collect measurements with enough frequency to evaluate stabihty. If the purge volume is large, take field measurements approximately 15 min apart. FLDEP = Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Allowable variation between two consecutive readings taken at least 2-3 min apart following the collection of one well volume. ... 

The LODs for imidacloprid and metabolites, when determined by US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines, are 0.021-0.024 ngL The LOQ is defined as 0.1 ng for each metabolite. Recoveries from control water samples fortified at the 0.1 and 1 ngL levels ranged between 84 and 107% for all metabolites. No relative standard deviation between the respective recoveries for any of the analytes was greater than 10%.

In some cases the decision whether storage vessels will be equipped with a vapor recovery system has been determined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In 1973 it set the standards4,5 for all petroleum liquids that are stored in vessels of mcae than 65,000 gal (245 m3). It states that if the vapor pressure is greater than 11.1 psia (570 mm Hg) a vapor recovery system or its equivalent must be installed on any new tanks. If the vapor pressure is between 1.52 psia (78 mm Hg) and 11.1 psia (570 mm Hg), a floating head tank may be used or a vapor recovery system may be installed. Since the former is cheaper it will usually be selected. Below 1.52 psia (78 mm Hg) only a conservation vent or its equivalent is required.

To protect important species of marine animals, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends that total recoverable zinc in seawater should average <58 pg/L and never exceed 170 pg/L for acid-soluble zinc, these values are <86 and 95 pg/L (Table 9.9). As was the case for freshwater biota, there is a growing body of evidence (Table 9.9) demonstrating that many species of marine plants, crustaceans, molluscs, echinoderms, and fish are adversely affected at ambient zinc concentrations between 9 and 50 pg/L, or significantly below the current proposed criteria for marine life protection. 

In the U.S. about 8% of the energy is provided by biomass and almost 90% of this comes from the combustion of wood and wood residues. The use of biomass increased from an installed capacity of 200 megawatts in 1980 to over 7,700 megawatts in 1990. The search for cleaner fuels and landfill restraints are the main reasons for increased biomass utilization. The cost of waste disposal has soared and landfill sites are closing faster than new ones are opening up. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimated that between 1978 and 1988, 70% of the nation s landfills, about 14,000 sites closed. 

The value of 3.5 x 10 / for the solubility product of CaS0o l/2 H20(s) was derived from 1imestone/magnesia scrubber inlet liquor analyses obtained at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Shawnee test facility (9), and may include kinetic, as well as thermodynamic, interaction between slurry solids and liquor. 

It is estimated that groundwater is the source of drinking water for 90% of rural households and three-quarters of all US cities. In total, more than one-half of the US citizens rely on ground water for their everyday needs. Because of the amount of information indicating the presence of pesticides in ground-water in the different US states [ 148], a joint research project between the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) s Office of Drinking Water and the Office of Pesticide...
