Get Accurate VOC Testing data for your EPA Compliance testing (SDWA, NPDES, CWA)

Stay compliant & Avoid Costly Delays

Entities discharging wastewater or supplying drinking water in the United States are required to adhere to strict regulatory requirements for testing of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), set and enforced by the EPA.

Ensure timely, accurate VOC testing for EPA compliance with ALS' expert guidance and accredited laboratories.


 

Environmental Regulations & Your VOC Testing Needs

USEPA has established Maximum allowable concentrations (MCLs) for VOCs in drinking water and limitations for VOC levels in water discharged into US waterways.

The EPA enforces these MCLs and limits through regulations including:

  • Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA): Sets standards for public drinking water quality, including limits for certain VOCs.
  • National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES): Facilities that discharge wastewater require an NPDES permit specifying allowable pollutant levels, including VOCs. Your permit will outline specific testing requirements.
  • Clean Water Act (CWA): Protects the nation's water resources from pollution.

Exceeding these limits can harm human health and the environment and potentially expose permit holders to significant liabilities.
