Numeric turbidity limits for construction site discharge are expected to be required in the near future. Such requirements will likely include subjecting construction site stormwater discharges to a maximum allowable turbidity numeric effluent limit in nephelometric turbidity units (NTUs) for sites disturbing 10 acres or more (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
