This paper pedagogically outlines (1) means to check the consistency of data collected for large‐scale data ‘banks’ and (2) a basic consideration of the regional treatment plant efficiency hypothesis giving the approach and technique rather than expounding the ‘results.’ Implementation of pollution control acts has required the compilation of vast amounts of data. Up to this point, emphasis has been on data collection and storage. The present suggested approach is one which could easily provide the means to move in the direction of checking the consistency of the data and identifying cases for special study.
