A Complete Treatment is a method of treating water that consists of the addition of coagulant chemicals, flash mixing, coagulation -flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration.

A completeness is "The amount of valid data obtained compared to the planned amount, and [it is] usually expressed as a percentage; a data quality indicator" (QAMS 1993, 6).

A Compliance Cycle is the 9-year calendar year cycle, beginning January 1, 1993, during which public water systems must monitor. Each cycle consists of three 3-year Compliance periods

A Compliance Monitoring is Collection and evaluation of data, including self-monitoring reports, and verification to show whether pollutant concentrations and loads contained in permitted discharges are in compliance with the limits and conditions specified in the permit.

A Compliance Schedule is a negotiated agreement between a pollution source and a government agency that specifies dates and procedures by which a source will reduce emissions and, thereby, comply with a regulation.

Composite in the environment context refers to materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties, that when combined, produce a material with characteristics different from the individual components. In environmental science, composites are particularly noted for their application in sustainable building materials, renewable energy systems, and pollution control technologies. These materials can offer enhanced strength, durability, and efficiency while potentially reducing environmental impact through the use of recycled materials and more sustainable production processes.

A Composite Sample is a series of water samples taken over a given period of time and weighted by flow rate.
