   Surface Water Quality Standards⁽¹⁾

   for Toxic Pollutants

   ⁽¹⁾ The aquatic life values for arsenic, cadmium, chromium (III), chromium (VI), copper, lead, mercury (acute), nickel, selenium, silver and zinc given in this document refer to the dissolved amount of each substance unless otherwise noted. All surface water discharge permit effluent limits for metals shall be expressed and measured in accordance with § 74:52:03:16.

   ⁽²⁾ This human health value is based on two routes of exposure - ingestion of contaminated aquatic organisms and drinking water.

   ⁽³⁾ This human health value is based on one route of exposure - ingestion of contaminated aquatic organisms only.

   ⁽⁴⁾ This substance is classified as a carcinogen with the value based on an incremental risk of one additional instance of cancer in one million persons (10^-6).

   ⁽⁵⁾ Those chemicals which are not individually classified as carcinogens but which are contained within a class of chemicals with carcinogenicity as the basis for the criteria derivation for that class of chemicals; an individual carcinogenicity assessment for these chemicals is pending.

   ⁽⁶⁾ For pH-dependent criteria, the value given is an example only and is based on a pH of 7.8. Criteria for each case must be calculated using the following equation taken from National Recommended Water Quality Criteria: http://water.epa.gov/scitech/swguidance/standards/criteria/current/index.cfm#hhtable, as reviewed on November 28, 2022:

   Pentachlorophenol (PCP), ug/L

   Chronic = _e[1.005(pH) - 5.134] Acute = _e[1.005(pH) - 4.869]

   ⁽⁷⁾ For hardness-dependent criteria in ug/L, the value given is an example only and is based on a CaCO₃ hardness of 100 mg/L. Criteria for each case must be calculated using the following equations taken from National Recommended Water Quality Criteria: http://water.epa.gov/scitech/swguidance/standards/criteria/current/index.cfm#hhtable, as reviewed on November 28, 2022:

   Cadmium, ug/L

   Chronic = (*CF)_e(0.7977[ln(hardness)]-3.909)

   Acute = (*CF)_e(0.9789[ln(hardness)]-3.866)

   *Conversion factors are hardness-dependent. The values shown are with a hardness of 100 mg/L as calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). Conversion factors (CF), from total to dissolved, for any hardness may be calculated using the following equations:

   Chronic: CF = 1.101672 - [(lnhardness)(0.041838)]

   Acute: CF = 1.136672 - [(lnhardness)(0.041838)]

   Chromium (III), ug/L

   Chronic = (0.860)_e(0.8190[ln(hardness)]+0.6848) Acute = (0.316)_e(0.8190[ln(hardness)]+3.7256)

   Copper, ug/L

   Chronic = (0.960)_e(0.8545[1n(hardness)]-1.702) Acute = (0.960)_e(0.9422[ln(hardness)]-1.700)

   Lead, ug/L

   Chronic = (*CF)_e(1.273[ln(hardness)]-4.705) Acute = (*CF)_e(1.273[ln(hardness)]-1.460)

   *Conversion factors are hardness-dependent. The values shown are with a hardness of 100 mg/L as calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). Conversion factors (CF), from total to dissolved, for any hardness can be calculated using the following equations:

   Acute and Chronic: CF = 1.46203 - [(lnhardness)(0.145712)]

   Nickel, ug/L

   Chronic = (0.997)_e(0.8460[ln(hardness)]+0.0584) Acute = (0.998)_e(0.8460[ln(hardness)]+2.255)

   Silver, ug/L

   Acute = (0.85)_e(1.72[ln(hardness)]-6.59)

   Zinc, ug/L

   Chronic = (0.986)_e(0.8473[ln(hardness)]+0.884) Acute = (0.978)_e(0.8473[ln(hardness)]+0.884)

   ⁽⁸⁾ These criteria are based on the total-recoverable fraction of the metal.

   ⁽⁹⁾ This criterion applies to total pcbs, (e.g. the sum of congener or all isomer or homolog or Aroclor analyses).

   ⁽¹⁰⁾ The (0.996)CMC = 1/[fl/CMC1) + (f2/CMC2)] where f1 and f2 are the fractions of total selenium that are treated as selenite and selenate, respectively, and CMC1 and CMC2 are 185.9 g/L and 12.82 g/L, respectively.

   ⁽¹¹⁾ This criterion for arsenic refers to the inorganic form only.

   ⁽¹²⁾ This criterion for cyanide is expressed as free cyanide.
