I. Why Specify Chemical Inventory Management?

Why Specify?

Comply With Government Regulations

Great Lakes Upper Mississippi River Board of State Public Health & Environmental Managers

Part 5 Chemical Application, Section 5.1.2 (e) reads: "Provisions shall be made for measuring the quantities of chemicals used." Additionally, Section 5.1.2 (f) reads "Weighing scales: (1) shall be provided for weighing cylinders at all plants utilizing chlorine gas (2) may be required for fluoride solution feed (3) should be provided for volumetric dry chemical feeders, and (4) shall be capable of providing reasonable precision in relation to average daily dose."

"The 10 states standards": Recommended Standards For Water Works 1997
