ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTIST 2 WATER RESOURCES (P29)
Water Resources
Reviewing a discharge permit means working out how much of a given pollutant a particular stream can absorb before it stops meeting the standard set for it, and whether what the applicant proposes fits inside that. This is the grade that runs the analysis and drafts the conditions.
Water quality standards, permit limits and load allocations all rest on the same statute. The science that turns it into a number a permit can be written around is what this title supplies.
