The a^jpysis and disposition of the objections and comments by the above categories is given below: * To Be Added ' Based upon the objections and comments provided during the times specified the following significant changes are made in the Standards proposed on December 27, 1973. To Be Added The modifications given in this standard which are based upon the record must refer to the technical feasibility of meeting the standards . at a slated time (not to exceed 3 to 4 years) and as appropriate to consideration of the economic impact of implementing these limitations. These standards are designed to be tailored to differing conditions as specified by the waters into which the discharge is made and as such make it difficult to evaluate the economic impact in general ujnless a facility by facility examination is made. In order to satisfy the urgency of promulgating these standards this examination was not usually feasible. HONS 056731 -13- Thereforc the following evaluation of the economic impact must be viewed as a best effort conducted under these constraints. The economic impact has been estimated for the following industrial categories as: Alkalies and Chlorine Cadmium Mercury Benzidine Manufacturing Benzidine Coal Mining Cadmium Mercury Electroplating Cadmium Cyanide Ferrous Metals Cadmium Cyanide Mercury Fertilizer Manufacturing Cadmium Hospitals Benzidine Inorganic Chemicals Cadmium Mercury Laboratories To Be Added HONS 056732 ~* .-14 Lumber air'd Wood Products Mercury Metal Mining Cadmium Cyanide Non-Ferrous Metals Cadmium Cyanide Mercury Oil and Gas Extraction Cadmium Mercury Organic Chemicals Cadmium Cyanide Mercury PCB Manufacturing PCB PCB Users PCB To Be Added It is anticipated that these standards promulgated here will be re viewed and if appropriate revised by three years. The Agency is evaluating arsenic, lead, copper, Iicptaclilor. Guthion, 2, 4, 5-T, Phthalates, bis-2-chloro isopropyl ether, and bis-2-chloro methyl ether as additional candidate substances as toxic pollutants and is requesting i 'i .

(a) Compliance with the defined effluent standards set forth herein shall be determined using the test methods indentified in 40 CFR Part 136 (38 FR 28758 et seq., October 16, 1973), unless modifications or alternatives are given for the specific source category and/or the toxic pollutant under the subpart dealing with determinations of weights and measures. The sample volume requirements for the determination of organochlorine pesticides are increased to the range of 500-1000 mi in order to achieve a level of sensitivity below the lowest critical acute limit. ThiB is feasible for samples where the interference from undesirable co-extractives can be tolerated.

'' 2; & tb) For t'je purpose of determining compliance with these standards, ') background amounts or concentrations of any pollytant subject to these standards, except as ground in run off waters from the property of (he facility, in all waters considered as intake or input waters to the facility's effluent, such as influent surface waters, public water supplies, or well waters shall not be included in the determination of the allowable amount or concentration determined in the measurements of the amount or concentration of such pollutant discharged. (c) Compliance for discharges of these pollutants into flow or size limiting streams, lakes, estuaries, or coastal waters shall be agreed if the effluent standards as provided in the following subparts for each pollutant are met, with the priviso that it may be demonstrated by the discharger to the Regional Administrator that there is no discharge of the listed pollutants which violates Water Quality Standards, unless these bodies of water have been designed and/or approved for the purposes of effluent conveyance or treatment of the pollutants. (d) For the purpose of computing flow (in cubic feet per aecond) which is integral to the determination of the allowable amount and concentration of the pollutant to be discharged, the receiving water flow shall be determined .as follows: (1) Streams. The design or actual low flows shall be determined at the outfall of the facility discharging the pollutant. MGNS 056351 -33- (2) Lakes and impoundments. The average annual flow shall be determined at the outlet and where more than one outlet exists the flow shall be determined as the cumulative average annual average now for all the outlets, except for the Great Lakes. (3) Estuaries. The flow of an estuary shall be determined by the summation of the design low flows of all the tributaries entering the estuary plus the 30 day average waste stream now, the sum being multiplied by the ratio of the salinity of the ocean at the mouth of the extuary to the salinity, determined as the difference in receiving water salinities at the water surface above the point of discharge and at the mouth of the estuary. In cstuarieB which have little or no tributary innow the now shall be defined as the sum of the 30 day average waste stream now, plus the product of the tidal exchange ratio times the tidal prism upstream from the point of discharge being divided by the deviation of the tidal cycle. (4) Coastal Waters and The Great Lakes. The flow shall be computed as the product of 0. 25 times the square of the depth of water (feet) measured at the point of the discharge jet at mean lower low water, unless the discharger can demonstrate to the Regional Administrator that the efnuent is to be discharged in such a mannaer that the entrained How will be different and can therefore be used. (5) Embayments. The flow of an embayment shall be determined by the summation of the design low nows of all the tributaries entering the embayment plus the 30 day average waste stream How, plus the product MOhS 056752 of the soicie flushing rate times the volume of the bay landward from the point of discharge being divided by the period of seiche. (e) Guidelines for determining compliance. In order to provide the most positive regulatory control which will guarantee the prohibition of the discharge or toxic pollutants in toxic amounts, the following steps would be deemed es adequate proof of compliance. (1) One year from the date of promulgation of this notice, dischargers for which these standards are applicable as defined in subparts which follow shall : i) demonstrated achieving the limits specific in the subparts below, or, il) completed a rigorous inventory of actual quantities of the toxic pollutants which are handled and stored and are being discharged showing the concentrations and weights per day discharged from each facility, and ill) provided this inventory to the Regional Administration along with documented proof that all reasonable steps, Buch as modification of existing malfunctioning processes and operating procedures, have been taken to minimize, if not prohibit, the discharge of toxic pollutants in toxic amounts, and iv) supplied to the Regional Administrator, for approval, steps and dates which are being taken to meet the limits.
