ECHO shows the percent over limit for CWA direct dischargers. Exceedance may be attributable to a variety of factors, including operation and maintenance problems, design inadequacies, high strength waste from industrial contributors that cannot be adequately treated, and wet weather infiltration/inflow into municipal wastewater treatment systems.
