Answer: Yes, the Waste Water Treatment Plant meet the standard.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because, the effluent of 5mg/L of Biochechemical Oxygen Demand BOD is low. A high BOD signify low dissolved oxygen in waste water. High Bod can stress and suffocation to aquatic lives.

Similarly, Total Suspended Solid of 15mg/L signify that low pollution level in the water. TSS is the measure of particulate matter suspended in the water body.
