USEPA acute or
monitoring year.
A glossary of common abbreviations and scientific terms, and a bibliography, are presented at the end of

in the receiving water at Sanger’s Intake seen during recent years. No samples outside of the mixing zone
exceeded the relevant USEPA receiving water criteria for the protection of aquatic ecosystems for zinc or
copper, and all other parameters were below levels stipulated by consent conditions.
