However, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting authority shall address constituents without numerical standards in NPDES permit actions by using the narrative criteria for toxics contained in these water quality standards.
2 The Class D Human Health Criteria for metals will be based on Total Recoverable metals.
3 The letter “c” after the Class D Human Health Criteria numeric value means that the criteria is based on carcinogenicity of 10-6 risk level.
4 The superscript “CF” means that the criterion derived from the formula under Note 5 is multiplied by the conversion factor in Table 2a as specified in subsection 1105.10:

¹ For constituents without numerical criteria, standards have not been developed at this time. However, permit writers shall address these constituents in NPDES permit actions using the narrative criteria for toxics contained in these water quality standards.
² The letter “c” after the Class D Human Health Criteria numeric value means that the criterion is based on carcinogenicity of 10⁻⁶ risk level.
³ The formulas for calculating the concentrations of substances indicated above are as follows:
[I] The numerical CCC criterion for pentachlorophenol in μg/L shall be given by:
$$e(1.005(pH) - 5.134)$$
[I.A] The numerical CMC criterion for pentachlorophenol in μg/L shall be given by:
$$e(1.005(pH) - 4.869)$$
⁴ The polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) criterion applies to total PCBs (e.g., the sum of all congener or all isomer or homolog or Aroclor analyses.)
