These and other principal changes are discussed below. Several comments dealt with the man ner in which the Inorganic components of the list were specified and argued that certain Insoluble or innocuous forms of these substances should not be In cluded In broad categories such as "all cadmium compounds." Effluent stand ards which must be developed for the listed pollutants will Include analytical and sampling procedures which will dis tinguish between the toxic and innocu ous forms of the designated pollutants. A number of commenters expressed the opinion that the proposed selection criteria were vague and Inadequate. It was obvious from the comments received that a great deal of confusion existed as to what materials could potentially be selected as toxic pollutants. Accordingly, EPA has refined these criteria to make them more specific. These criteria entail two major advan tages. First, they will provide for more informed public participation, by Identi fying the kinds of pollutants which the Agency proposes to examine and the types of data which are sought for each pollutant. Second, dischargers will be placed on notice concerning the class of pollutants which may become subject to standards under Section 307(a). It Is our Intent that the process of selecting pollutants for the list of toxic pollutants will be a continuing one: as additional evidence is developed, addi tional pollutants will be added to the list. Pollutants were chosen for inclusion ness of the problems identified by the above criteria. I. Explanation op Criteria The first criterion concerns the actual or potential damage that a water dis charge of these materials may create by virtue of certain toxicological properties. Detailed toxicological data are exam ined to determine whether one or more of these types of effects are known: bloaccumulatlon. carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects, and high acute toxicity. Specifically, the following types of data are reviewed: 1. Available data concerning whether a substance or its chemical or biological transformation product is bioaccumu lated through an aquatic mechanism to the extent that they result in: (a) Reproductive Impairment in any important species, or (b> Concentrations in food sources in excess of applicable Federally estab lished tolerance levels. 2. Data concerning carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic effects. Ma terials likely to be carcinogenic, muta genic, or teratogenic to man are further evaluated as to their chemical, biologi cal, and physical stability in water. 3. Data concerning high order of toxicity as measured by short-term lethality tests. In this connection a clas sification of a substance as "highly toxic" to man according to classifications es tablished by the Department of Trans portation and the Environmental Pro tection Agency (36 FR 2934. February 12, 1971. 40 CFR 162.8) and the Environ mental Protection Agency and the Food part: on the Initial list In light of the follow and Drug Administration testing pro The Administrator shall, within ninety days after the date of onactment of this title, publish (and from time to time there after revise) a list which includes any toxic ing criteria: 1. Data from laboratory or field studies indicate that the pollutant could. If dis cedures (40 CFR 162.8 and 21 CFR 191.10) Is particularly relevant. Ac cording to the references cited above, substances which have an oral LD50 of pollutant or combination of such pollutants charged into water, constitute a serious, 50 mg/kg of body weight or less or have for which an effluent standard (which may environmental threat. The types of data a dermal LD50 of 200 mg/kg of body FEDERAL REGISTER, VOL 38, NO. 173--FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 7, 1973 EX P-3512 Page 1 of 4 RULES AND REGULATIONS 2134^ weight of less are defined as highly toxic to mammals and are examined further. The term "oral LD50" means that single oral dose which Is lethal to one-half of the test population within 14 days. The term "dermal LD50" means that dose dcrmally absorbed In 24 hours which Is lethal to one-half of the test population within 14 days. For the protection of aquatic life, substance* proposed to be classified as "highly toxic" according to the National Academy of Sciences water pollution miking system may be considered for inclusion in the list. Such substances are those which are toxic to aquatic life as measured by a 96 hour LC50 of 10 mg 1 or less. The term "LC50" means that concentration of a substance In water which Is lethal to one-half of the test population In the specified time periods. Testing methods such as those round in "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Waste water." 13th Edition, part 231. 1971, or their equivalent will be considered adequate. The second criterion concerns the seriousness of discharges or potential discharges of the pollutant from point sources. Relevant here are such factors as the nature and extent of toxic ef fects associated with the pollutant, the extent to which discharges of the pol lutant have been identified, and the pro duction. distribution, and use pattern of the ;>oUutant. Data must be available from well documented field studies showing damage to important organisms from discharges of the compound into waters, or technically sufficient to show the material has the potential to be en trol measures available, including the use of substitute products, and possible effects upon ground water or other en vironmental media. II. TUX POLLUTANTS SELECTED The emergency standards promul gated by the Department of Labor for occupational carcinogens (38 FR 10929, May 3. 1973), have forced a shift in the manufacture of benzidine from the pre vious producers to the end users. The resulting potential for increased water pollution by this known carcinogen and the adverse effects on the environment which may result, require the listing of benzidine. Public comments have Indi cated that the material should be In cluded. and that discharges should be severely controlled. Other public com ments indicated that the material does not meet the selection criteria as pro posed July 6. 1973. Benzidine does meet the criteria set forth herein. It was also asserted that the DOL standards would protect both the work place and the environment However, those stand ards are designed to prevent occupa tional exposure, not to control discharges into water. Mercury is on the list because Its or ganic form is known to bloaccumulalc to the extent that it poses a threat to the health of man through concentration In food sources, so as to exceed applica ble tolerance levels. Control of point source discharges Is urgently needed, and available data are sufficient for standard setting. Public comments noted that the discharge of this material should be se verely restricted. Some comments were received recommending deletion of the high order of toxicity to aquatic orga nisms, potential concentrations In the food web. and its widespread discharge. Some conunenters objected to the in clusion of "Cadmium and all cadmium compounds" on the list because some relatively innocuous forms of the ele ment would be included. The final efflu ent standards will distinguish among the various forms in which the element may occur. DDT. DDD. and DDE are on the list because of their acute toxicity to aquatic organisms, and their - bioaccumulatlve properties, which are known to cause harmful effects in higher life forms, such as birds. The data are sufficient for the establishment of effluent standards. Public response in favor of inclusion of DDT. DDD. and DDE noted the existence of much data on the harmful effects of these materials. One commenter stated that DDD degrades rapidly, and does not have many of the effects associated with DDT. It was determined, however, that DDD should also be Included because of its toxicity and bioaccumulatlve proper ties. Endrin Is highly toxic to aquatic life at low concentrations. Considerable data are available on endrin, and control of point sources is necessary at present. Those public comments that supported its Inclusion cited considerable data, and urged stringent control. One commenter alleged that the sole manufacturing fa cility is under control, and that further restriction is unnecessary and redun dant. However, available technical and scientific data support inclusion. More over. the manufacturer of the material is not the only point source, since formu- vironmentally harmful after being dis charged from point sources to the water. material from the list because of ques tions of solubility and demethylation of lators also contribute endrin contami nated wastes to the environment. Tire third criterion concerns setting efluent standards for pollutants on the list. The following are representative of the categories of data useful In stand ard setting for each material. 1. Toxicity to man and other orga nisms; mercury and Us compounds. It should be noted, however, that all forms of mer cury In the aquatic environment can be methylated to methyhnercury. the most hazardous form. Aldrin-dieldrin are on the list because of their high order of toxicity to aquatic Polychlorinated biphenyls are on the list because of their high order of toxic ity to man and aquatic organisms, and because of their bloaccumulaUve poten tial. The data are adequate, and the point source discharges require prompt control. Public comments Indicated that 2. Carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and teratogenicity data: 3.

Accordingly, deletion of aldrin-dieldrin is not considered to be warranted at tills time. chlorinated biphenyls. Toxaphene is on the list because of its high order of toxicity to aquatic life. Considerable data arc available concern ing this compound, and prompt control of known point sources is required. Pub lic comments in support of the material being included cited much of the avail able toxicity data. Some commenters argued that this material did not meet the selection criteria published in con nection with the proposed Ust of July 6. 1973.
