pollution from an easily discernible, single source such as a factory ( see )
Pollution that can be detected from a specific point, such as an outlet pipe emptying into a river from a wastewater treatment plant or a factory.
Water contamination that can be traced to a single point. A toxic material spill and a sewage discharge pipe are examples of point sources.
observable dumping practices (air, land or water discharges) that are currently regulated.
Source of pollution can be pinpointed, such as a drain or chimney stack.
Any pollution from a confined and discrete conveyance such as a pipe, ditch, channel tunnel, well, fissure, container, rolling stock, concentrated animal-feeding operation or vessel or other floating craft. The return flow from irrigated agriculture is generally not considered pointsource pollution.
Pollution of water from one place in a concentrated manner that is easy to identify. For example, effluent discharge from sewage treatment plants or industrial plants.
originates from the discharge of pollutants from a single, readily identifiable source such as an industrial or sewage discharge pipe
pollution of water from one place in a concentrated manner that is easy to identify. Ex. leaking underground storage tank or discharge pipe from a sewage treatment plant. List of Glossary Terms
Pollution from a definable source.
pollution from an easily discernable, single source such as a factory or sewage treatment plant
Pollution originating at a particular place, such as a sewage treatment plant, outfall, or other discharge pipe.
Pollution discharged through a pipe or some other discrete source from municipal water-treatment plants, factories, confined animal feedlots, or combined sewers (USEPA Region 5).
water pollution coming from a single point, such as a sewage-outflow pipe.
A single, identifiable source of pollution, such as a drain from an industrial site or sewage treatment plant (as opposed to non point-source or diffuse-source pollution-coming from many small sources over a large area).
Pollution that can be attributed to one direct source, such as an effluent pipe.
Forestry Operations & Water Quality] A type of pollution that comes from a specific, known location or source. Examples include wastewater treatment plants and industrial discharge outlets.
