Notes on Draft Table 30:

Proposed changes to the Toxic Substances rule reflect the movement of the effective aquatic life criteria from Tables 20, 33A, and 33B into a new aquatic life criteria table, Table 30. As a result of this movement, Tables 20, 33A, and 33B are no longer needed and are proposed to be deleted. Table 30 contains criteria that either DEQ anticipates EPA will approve, or reflects Table 20 criteria values in those cases where DEQ anticipates EPA is likely to disapprove pollutant criteria from Table 33A or Table 33B (When a criterion submitted to EPA by the state is disapproved by EPA, the previously effective criterion remains in effect for federal Clean Water Act purposes.). DEQ anticipates disapproval of several criteria based on either the National Marine Fishery Service’s biological opinion or other past omissions or errors. EPA action is expected by Jan. 31, 2013. The criteria in black or dark blue type (i.e. not redline strikethrough) in Table 30 are effective immediately following EPA action. These criteria do not need further Environmental Quality Commission (EQC) adoption or EPA approval. Conversely, the redline/strikethrough proposed changes to Table 30 reflect corrections or clarifications to criteria, footnotes, or introductory language (originally associated with or contained in Tables 20, 33A, or 33B) to correct anticipated EPA disapproval, or show changes to provide further clarifications on the toxics tables or rule language. These changes must be adopted by the EQC and approved by EPA before they become effective. The language portrayed in grey is explanatory in nature, intended to help the reader understand changes and from which table the criteria originated from. Comments in blue also provide information to the reader. Unlike previous revisions DEQ has made to its criteria, criteria tables can now be attached to the Oregon Administrative Rules in the Secretary of State Bulletin; therefore, proposed changes found at the end of the Toxic Substances rule state that Tables 30 and 40 will be attached as PDF documents.

TABLE 30: Aquatic Life Criteria for Toxic Pollutants

Effective [EPA Adoption XXXXXX]

Aquatic Life Criteria Summary

The concentration for each compound listed in Table 303A is a criterion not to be exceeded in waters of the state in order to protect aquatic life. All values are expressed as micrograms per liter (µg/L) except where noted. Compounds are listed in alphabetical order with the corresponding EPA number (from National Recommended Water Quality Criteria: 2002, EPA-822-R-02-047), the Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number, whether there is a human health criterion for the pollutant (i.e. “y”= yes, “n” = no), and the associated.aquatic life freshwater and saltwater acute and chronic criteria, aquatic life saltwater acute and chronic criteria . The acute criteria refer to the average concentration for one (1) hour and the chronic criteria refer to the average concentration for 96 hours (4 days), and that these criteria should not be exceeded more than once every three (3) years. Footnote A associated with eleven pesticide pollutants in Table 30 describes the exception to the frequency and duration stated above. Italicized pollutants represent non-priority pollutants.

[Note on edits above: Paragraph above originated from Table 33A. Footnote “O” in Table 33A is associated with eleven pesticides. EPA will likely have concerns that the frequency and duration associated with the acute and chronic criteria in the introductory language in Table 33A is contradictory to footnote “O”. DEQ believes the introductory language in Table 33A with regards to the frequency and duration of a criterion was general in nature and that Footnote “O” supercedes this general statement where applicable. It has been DEQ’s intention to implement the pesticide criteria associated with this footnote in the same manner that EPA intended in the 1980 guidance referenced in the footnote. Therefore, the acute criteria values in Table 33A associated with this footnote have been applied as instantaneous maximums and are not to be exceeded. Thus, the acute criteria values in Table 33A should only be divided by two where there is sufficient data to conduct averaging over a one hour period. In addition, the chronic criteria represent values not to be exceeded based on a 24-hour average, rather than over a 96-hour period which generally applies to the other aquatic life criteria. DEQ is proposing to add clarifying language to the introductory language above to strengthen correct implementation. This language, or similar, should address EPA’s disapproval of the eleven pesticides associated with Footnote A (i.e. Footnote O in Table 33A)].

The other revisions to the introductory paragraph provide clarifications or descriptions of Table 30.

Footnote E: Hardness Equations for Cadmium and Copper Freshwater Criteria

The freshwater criterion for this metal is expressed as a function of hardness (mg/L) in the water column. Criteria values for hardness may be calculated from the following formulae (CMC refers to Acute Criteria; CCC refers to Chronic Criteria):

CMC = (exp(m_A*[ln(hardness)] + b_A)) * CF

CCC = (exp(m_C*[ln(hardness)] + b_C)) * CF

Note that the “CF” conversion factors in the equations above are used to convert total recoverable metal results to dissolved metal results. However, the pollutants to which this footnote applies (i.e. cadmium and copper freshwater criteria) are expressed as total recoverable, rather than dissolved. Therefore, the CF conversion factor should not be used to calculate criteria.

[Note added here to original footnote in Table 20. Cadmium and copper freshwater dissolved criteria will be disapproved by EPA, so criteria revert back to Table 20 criteria based on total recoverable. Propose that we also remove the pollutants below from this chart to avoid confusion, since the other metals listed below are more accurately associated with footnote F below and some of the hardness factor values have been updated since Table 20 was approved. Alternatively, we can just strikethrough the CF factor in the equations above and indicate that cadmium and copper are expressed as total recoverable rather than the language currently proposed above—probably cleaner]

Footnote F: Hardness Equations for Freshwater Criteria and Conversion Factor Table

The freshwater criterion for this metal is expressed as a function of hardness (mg/L) in the water column. Criteria values for hardness may be calculated from the following formulae (CMC refers to Acute Criteria; CCC refers to Chronic Criteria):

         CMC = (exp(m_A*[ln(hardness)] + b_A))*CF

         CCC = (exp(m_C*[ln(hardness)] + b_C))*CF

where “CF” is the conversion factor used for converting a metal criterion expressed as the total recoverable fraction in the water column to a criterion expressed as the dissolved fraction in the water column.

 Conversion factors (CF) for dissolved metals (t The values for total recoverable metals criteria were must be (?) multiplied by the appropriate conversion factors shown below, where needed, to calculate the dissolved metals criteria): [Revising to indicate that in many cases, the metals criteria in Table 30 were not calculated using default values, so conversion factors must be applied if results are in total recoverable form]

Conversion Factor (CF) Table for Dissolved Metals

[Note: Although Arsenic is footnoted as “dissolved”, the conversion factors of “1” above essentially assume 100% of total recoverable results are dissolved. Also footnote indicates the criteria are applied as total As—i.e. the sum of As III and V.]
