Title: Effluent Guidelines and Standards for the Concentrated Aquatic Animal Production Industry | |
Abstract: EPA is focusing new efforts to help reduce nutrient loadings from commercial agricultural and industrial operations nationwide. Currently, there are no federal technology-based standards for aquatic animal production facilities, which are part of the aquaculture industry. This action is a new effort to develop pollutant controls in the form of nationally applicable discharge standards for commercial and public aquaculture operations. In assessments of surface water quality, States most frequently cite siltation, nutrients, and pathogens as the major cause of water quality impairment. With the growth of the aquaculture industry, and inconsistent state of regulatory oversight, EPA will examine available technologies for the control of solids which in turn control other pollutants, primarily nutrients. This action was formerly titled Aquaculture. | |
