Development Plan For Military Water Quality Criteria for Specific Wastewater Reuse Applications.

Abstract

This report presents plans which are to be used in a subsequent effort to develop detailed quality criteria for waters derived from wastewaters. The U.S. armed forces are contemplating the reuse of renovated wastewaters for specific military purposes including short-term (1 to 7 days) non-potable reuse in the field and long-term (more than 7 days) non-potable and potable reuse at fixed installations. The study proposes the use of conventional numerical standards or maximum contaminant limits wherever possible. However, there may be instances where it is advantageous to specify a certain treatment process to remove a given contaminant or group of contaminants. In these cases, consideration will be given to use of unconventional standards or treatment standards. The primary purpose of this study is to point the way to development of the required reuse criteria as rapidly and efficiently as possible. (Author)
