The usual engineer's approach to the environment is to look up whatever quantitative effluent limitations might exist and use these numbers as design criteria. We appreciate the desire to have simple, quantitative standards for prescribing engineering designs. We also appreciate that most executives believe competition does not allow companies to do more than only meet established standards. But as environmentalists we must be concerned with problems, not just meeting standards. Several reasons justify this position.
