Procedures for Detection and Quantitation

Policy Workgroup

Charge

  1. First, describe, expand upon or "lump" the categories of uses and then define them. The categories of uses identified during the FACDQ Meeting #2 include the following:
    • QA/QC Laboratory Performance
    • Method Promulgation
    • Method Validation
    • Effluent Guideline Development BAT Averaging
    • Effluent Guideline Development Variability
    • Permit Applications
    • Compliance Monitoring
    • Ambient Monitoring
    • Non-Regulatory Operational Monitoring
    • Regulatory and Other Studies
    • Local Limits for Pretreatment
  2. Second, identify the existing situation of uses of detection and quantitation for each use category (at what points, by whom).
  3. Third, identify the data quality objectives for each type of use and user.
  4. Fourth, pose the policy issues presented by the information above.

The product of the Policy Work Group for FACDQ Meeting #3 will be a policy paper for "teeing up" an agenda policy discussion on uses of detection and quantitation in Clean Water Act programs.
