This report is designed to provide an overview of the Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) policies and technical guidance on the role of mixing zones in the NPDES permitting process; present state mixing zone regulations, policies, and guidance; introduce important concepts related to the hydrodynamics of effluent dilution in receiving waters and the design of outfall diffusers; review available mixing zone models; identify EPA sources for the models; discuss strategic issues for dischargers to consider when applying models; and describe the use of dye tracer studies as alternatives or supplements to mixing zone models.
