Point Source Category Code

{
  "id": "MLC-T-ENV-021358",
  "term": "Point Source Category Code",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "A three-digit code that corresponds to an Effluent Limitations' Guidelines 40 CFR Part (https://www.epa.gov/eg/industrial-effluent-guidelines#existing). For example, Point Source Category Code 414 corresponds to Organic, Chemicals, Plastics, and Synthetic Fibers (40 CFR Part 414). Search Considerations: EPA has developed crosswalks to relate SIC codes to likely point source categories and NAICS codes to likely point source categories. The crosswalks link SIC Codes and NAICS codes to point source categories if EPA determined that the industrial activities described by the SIC and NAICS were covered under the applicability of the effluent limitations guidelines for the point source category. Not all SIC codes or NAICS codes link to a point source category.",
