They do not indicate a regulatory decision that the cited concentration is either necessary or sufficient for <br /> full protection of beneficial uses. Available technology may require that effluent limits be set lower than these <br /> (2)-Freshwater aquatic life criteria for metals are expressed as a.function of total hardness(mg/L)in the water body. <br /> Values displayed correspond to a total hardness of 40 mg/L. <br /> (3)-For haloethers <br /> (4)-Freshwater aquatic life criteria for ammonia are expressed as a function of pH and temperature of the water <br /> body.Values displayed correspond to pH 8.0 and temperature of 22 C. <br /> (5)-For nitrophenols. <br /> (6)-For chlorinated naphthalenes. <br /> (7)-For phthalate esters. <br /> (8)-Basin Plan objective=2 ugR.for Salt Slough and specific constructed channels in the Grassland watershed. <br /> (9)-Criteria for sum of alpha-and beta-forms. <br /> (10)-Criteria for sum of all PCBs. <br /> (11)-Mercury monitoring shall utilize"ultra-clean"sampling and analytical methods.These methods include: <br /> Method 1669:Sampling Ambient Water for Trace Metals at EPA Water Quality Criteria Levels,US EPA;and <br /> Method 1631:Mercury in Water by Oxidation,Purge and Trap,and Cold Vapor Atomic Fluoresence,US EPA <br /> 5of5 <br />
