Chlorination and dechlorination regulations
Several federal, state, county and local government organizations have set regulations for the amount of chlorine that can be discharged into the environment. Utility agencies are responsible for meeting these regulations.
As a leader in the industry when it comes to approved chemicals and equipment for chlorination and dechlorination systems, Ferguson Waterworks can help. See examples of some of these regulations below.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

- Emergency situation: Acute toxicity criterion for receiving streams should not exceed 0.019 mg/L (ppm).
- Long-term: Chronic toxicity criterion for receiving bodies of water shall not exceed 0.01 mg/L (ppm).
