Abstract
The EPA UM initial mixing model was used to simulate an ocean outfall off Seven Mile Beach in Cape May County, New Jersey. The UM model was verified via a dye study conducted during the summer of 1992. The verified model was used to develop dilution factors for both the spatially and temporally defined acute mixing zones. A comparison of the methodologies for defining the dilution factors for the spatially defined and temporally defined acute mixing zones illustrates that the temporal method for defining the acute mixing zone and the acute dilution factor yields less stringent effluent limitations for the discharger while still protecting the marine environment.
