Plants with reported effluent violations

Reported effluent violations

Parameters with reported violations

Most common violated parameter

All figures count EPA-reported records for the plants currently selected. Monitoring and reporting frequency varies by permit, so record counts are not performance scores. Infrastructure Intelligence methodology.

Parameters with reported effluent violations

Select a bar to filter every view to that parameter.

    Reported violations over time

    Bars count violation records; the line counts distinct plants affected. More records does not by itself mean worse statewide performance, because monitoring frequency differs between permits.

    Major and minor permitted facilities

    EPA assigns major/minor status by permit. Neither group is better or worse; the groups simply have different monitoring obligations.

    County patterns

    Counties hold very different numbers of plants, so the share column always carries its denominator.

    Plants with multiple reported effluent violations

    Ordered by number of reported records only. Monitoring requirements and reporting frequency vary among permits, so these counts are not performance scores or rankings.

    Recurring parameter patterns

    Plants where EPA recorded three or more effluent violations for the same parameter in this period. This states what the records show; it does not identify a cause.

    Measurements near permit limits

    Compatible upper-bound series only: the reported value and the applicable limit share the same outfall, monitoring location, statistical basis and EPA standard unit. Minimum limits and incompatible series are excluded. A value near its limit is not a violation.
