This spreadsheet can be used to analyze valid acute or chronic WET test data using statistical approaches. The results generated by the spreadsheet can be used by NPDES permit writers for reasonable potential (RP) determinations in accordance with EPA’s TSD (see pages 53-57, Chapter 5) and for NPDES WET compliance determinations (see TSD pages 112-113, Chapter 6). NPDES permittees and WET testing laboratories may also find the spreadsheet helpful when analyzing valid WET test data.
