To meet waste discharge standards, a factory implements a control system designed to

prevent the release of wastewater that does not meet those standards. One of the controls
requires chemical analysis of the water, prior to discharge, for components specified in
the permit. Is this an appropriate control? Why or why not?

Yes, this is an appropriate control since the aim of the factory is meeting the permit
limits; therefore the chemical analysis of the water, prior to discharge, would enable
management to check if the water discharged meets a certain criteria.
