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. ...

One example of a successful monitoring program is that coordinated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, mentioned earlier. Because the monitoring program includes analyzing seawater and shellfish for K. brevis and brevetoxin concentrations, respectively, and because emergency-response plans require authorities to close shellfish harvesting when the shellfish become toxic, the incidence of NSP in Florida is low.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) emphasizes that CTRs are hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when discarded into landfills or waste incinerators. Under the DEP s interpretation of RCRA hazardous waste regulations [36], CTRs are considered as materials, rather than wastes, when reused as a substitute for commercial purposes, i.e., when utilized to manufacture new CRTs, or as a fluxing agent at a secondary lead smelter. Only CTRs disposed in landfills or incinerated are regulated as hazardous waste under RCRA.
