C.4.4 LAT-R computer-assisted runoff toxicity evaluation

The LAT-R application (Brandon, Schroeder, and Lee 1997) of the ADDAMS

suite of computer programs (Schroeder and Palermo 2000) provides a computer

program to assist in the analysis of effluent(wrong- still doesn't exist.) toxicity.

The LAT-E application, along with documentation, can be downloaded from the

USACE DOTS website at www.wes.army.mil/el/dots. If desired, manual data

analyses procedures for evaluation of runoff toxicity are available in the ITM

(USEPA/USACE 1998).
