William Telliard
Mr. Telliard joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Water Enforcement and Permits in 1972. In 1976, he transferred into the Office of Water Effluent Guidelines Division as Chief of the Energy and Mining Branch. He later became Director of Analytical Methods Staff in the Engineering and Analysis Division in the Office of Science and Technology--where he served until his retirement in 2006.
He directed and coordinated analytical methods development, sampling, analysis, and quality control/quality assurance for the EPA Office of Water. He has been principally responsible for the development of the list of Priority Pollutants and EPA's Environmental Monitoring Methods Index (EMMI). He was responsible for the selection of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) as EPA's technique of choice for the measurement of organic pollutants. He was actively involved in the development and promulgation of regulations for the control of industrial discharges to waters of the United States.
According to an EPA memo, more than 100 analytical methods were developed under Mr. Telliard’s direction during his 34-years at EPA. Those methods were developed for use in detecting the presence of numerous contaminants, including mercury, dioxin, PCB congeners, and parasites such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
