Influent

Wastewater or other liquid - raw (untreated) or partially treated - flowing INTO a reservoir, basin, treatment process, or treatment plant

  • (BNR01) Nitrification and Denitrification – An Introduction to Nitrogen Removal (1485)
  • (BNR02) Nitrification Factors – Suspended Growth Treatment Systems (1821)

Information Collection Rule

Information Collection Rule (ICR)

  • (DBP01) DBP Rule – Overview (1282)

Incorporation

Mixing of materials found on or spread upon the soil surface into the soil volume via the mechanical manipulation of the soil.

  • (BIO02) Biosolids Agronomic Loading Rates Part 2 – Manure (1484)

Incomplete Nitrification

A condition in which not all ammonia is converted to nitrate (some of the ammonia remains as ammonia and some of the ammonia undergoes partial conversion yielding concentrations of nitrite). Typically, incomplete nitrification results in high levels of ammonia in the wastewater effluent.

  • (BNR01) Nitrification and Denitrification – An Introduction to Nitrogen Removal (1485)
  • (BNR02) Nitrification Factors – Suspended Growth Treatment Systems (1821)

Incomplete Denitrification

A condition in which environmental conditions are not optimal to provide for the conversion of nitrate to nitrogen gas (some of the nitrate remains as nitrate and some undergoes partial conversion yielding concentrations of nitrite). Typically, incomplete denitrification results in high levels of nitrate in the wastewater effluent.

  • (BNR01) Nitrification and Denitrification – An Introduction to Nitrogen Removal (1485)

Imminent Threat Violation

A condition at a PWS that may adversely affect the quality of drinking water and presents an immediate threat to public health.

  • (TCR01) Total Coliform Rule – Overview (1424)
