4/mg L Nitrogen!

Wow. These guys had even tougher standards than we did and our 7/mg L nitrogen, the Riverhead Sewer District on Long Island, New York.

This was just a fascinating read because of our similarities in treatment plant size and their being near an estuary, the Peconic River Estuary. "....an EPA-designated nationally significant waterway. The shallow estuary has been prone to algae blooms, including the brown tide that decimated the scallop population in the 1980s."

I signed up for an online wastewater magazine subscription. I'm sure I was supposed to be a worker in the industry.... but due to living in a town with most likely the l-o-n-g-e-s-t sewer war in history that I am still writing about, it seemed like a useful idea for this blogger: https://www.tpomag.com/
