Effective 6-1-05.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
Smaller industrial permittees that discharge to a surface water and have whole effluent toxicity (WET) requirements in their permits, as well as smaller WET labs who may wish to be certified to conduct WET tests, will be affected by this rule. The department does not expect significant impacts to these businesses, however, because the changes that are proposed to WET test methods are not expected to require additional staff time or resources on the part of the permittee, and are not expected to significantly increase the costs associated with conducted WET tests.
