A chapter in Statistical Methods for the Assessment of Point Source Pollution, 1989, pp 13-28 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Ontario’s MISA program is intended to reduce all municipal and industrial waste loadings and to virtually eliminate the release of persistent toxic contaminants to surface waters. Based on 12-months of effluent monitoring data, effluent limit guidelines will be issued for 9 industrial and municipal sectors. The effluent limits will be based on the best available technology economically achievable and will involve extensive statistical analyses of the monitoring data. Proposed statistical methods for the derivation of effluent limits and assessing compliance are presented, along with brief information on the criteria for selection of pollutants and sample size requirements for the MISA effluent monitoring program. The proposed methods are not the policies of the Ministry of the Environment and may or may not be used for the development of effluent limits.
