The table below describes how the Hypoxia Task Force Searches count facilities with effluent limits and monitoring requirements for nutrients, based on methodology developed for EPA Office of Wastewater Management. For a summary of the Hypoxia Task Force Searches and Logic, see the Hypoxia Task Force Searches Memorandum (PDF) (9 pp, 484K).
