Number of
Discharge
Samples
Zooplankton,
live organisms
≥ 50 µm in size
Minimum of 3 samples
collected from the treatment
track and 3 samples collected
from the control track.
1 sample from the
discharge of the control
tank, and 1 sample from
the discharge (following
any treatments) of the
treated water.
1 continuous time-
integrated sample collected
from the control and
treatment lines upon
discharge. Control split for
analysis. Whole treatment
sample examined.
Protists, live
organisms 10 -
50 µm in size
Minimum of 3 samples
collected from the treatment
track and 3 samples collected
from the control track.
1 sample from the
discharge of the control
tank, and 1 sample from
the discharge (following
any treatments) of the
treated water.
1 continuous time-
integrated sample collected
from the control and
treatment lines upon
discharge. Representative
samples analyzed.
Bacteria

Zooplankton,
live organisms
≥ 50 µm in size
Less than 10 viable organisms
per m3 greater than or equal to
50 µm in minimum dimension
for treated water; more than
100 viable organisms per m3
greater than or equal to 50 µm
in minimum dimension for
control water.
Treatment efficacy will be
determined by the
measurement of living
ambient organism
concentrations in the
treatment discharge.
Minimum concentration in
control tank discharge is
100 live organisms/m3.
Dependent on test plan.
May include control vs
treatment, intake vs
discharge, treatment
discharge vs regulatory
standard (i.e., IMO and/or
ETV).
Protists, live
organisms 10 -
50 µm in size
Less than 10 viable organisms
per mL less than 50 µm in
minimum dimension and
greater than or equal to 10 µm
in minimum dimension for
treated water; more than 100
viable organisms per mL less
than 50 µm in minimum
dimension and greater than or
equal to 10 µm in minimum
dimension for control water.
Treatment efficacy will be
determined by the
measurement of living
ambient organism
concentrations in the
treatment discharge.
Minimum concentration in
control tank discharge is
100 live organisms/mL.
Dependent on test plan.
May include control vs
treatment, intake vs
discharge, treatment
discharge vs regulatory

ETV).

Treatment efficacy will be
determined by the
measurement of living

treatment discharge.
Minimum concentration in
control tank discharge is 5

Dependent on test plan.
May include control vs
