PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant requests that an NPDES Permit be issued for
the discharges of boiler blowdown and non-contact.cooling water
at the subject facility. These discharges should qualify for the
issuance of a general permit.
Pending a final review and approval by P&E, it is
recommended that an NPDES Permit be issued.

3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Potential Health Effects
Eye
Exposure causes irreversible eye damage. Symptoms may include stinging,
tearing, redness, swelling, corneal damage, and blindness. Additional symptoms
of eye exposure may include: blurred vision halo vision (characterized by
blurring vision around bright objects)
Skin
Exposure causes severe skin irritation. Symptoms may include redness, burning,
and severe skin damage. Skin absorption is possible, and may contribute to
symptoms of toxicity from other routes of exposure.
Swallowing
Single dose oral toxicity is low. Swallowing small amounts during normal
handling is not likely to cause harmful effects; swallowing large amounts may
be harmful.
Inhalation
Exposure to vapor or mist is possible.
Symptoms of Exposure
gastrointestinal irritation (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation (nose,
throat, respiratory tract), headache, muscle weakness.
Target Organ Effects
Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause
of the following effects in laboratory animals, and may aggravate pre-existing
disorders of these organs in humans: liver abnormalities, eye damage, kidney
damage.

Potential Health Effects
Eye
Exposure causes severe eye irritation. Symptoms may include stinging, tearing,
redness, swelling, and eye damage.
Skin
Exposure causes severe skin irritation. Symptoms may.include redness, burning,
and severe skin damage. Additional symptoms of skin contact may include:
allergic skin reaction Skin absorption is possible, and may contribute to
symptoms of toxicity from other routes of exposure.
Swallowing
Exposure may be harmful or fatal. Symptoms may include severe stomach and
intestinal irritation (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), abdominal pain, and
vomiting of blood. Swallowing this material may cause burns and destroy tissue
in the mouth, throat, and digestive tract. Low blood pressure and shock may
occur as a result of severe tissue injury.
Inhalation
Exposure to vapor or mist is possible.
Symptoms, of Exposure

4. FIRST AID MEASURES _.:.
Eyes
If material gets into -the eyes, immediately flush eyes gently with water for at
least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart. If.symptoms develop as.a result
of vapor exposure, immediately move individual away from exposure and into
fresh air before flushing as recommended above. Seek immediate medical
attention.
Skin
Immediately flush skin with water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Seek immediate medical attention. Wash
clothing before reuse and decontaminate or discard contaminated shoes.
Swallowing
Seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting. Vomiting will cause
luruher damage to the mouth and throw-. If i.. i di_aal d3. co a._d alert.,
immediately rinse mouth with water and give milk or'water to drink. If
possible, do not leave individual unattended.
Inhalation
If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into
fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention; keep person warm and quiet. If
person is not breathing, begin artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, administer oxygen.
Note to Physicians
Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage. Measures
against circulatory..shock.,:_respir..atory depression and convulsions may.be._
needed. . ^ .... ..

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spill
Absorb liquid on vermiculite, floor absorbent or other absorbent material.
Large Spill ,.:... ..
Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill
until clean-up has been completed. Stop spill at source. Dike to prevent
spreading. Absorb with inert material. The absorbent(and surface soil to a
depth sufficient to remove all microbiocide) is then shoveled into a pail or,
drum and treated with enough decontaminant solution to wet the solid
thoroughly. Let these containers stand open for 48 hours to avoid the buildup
of pressure, then seal and dispose of by burying as landfill. The
decontaminated area is washed with additional decontaminant solution and then
flushed into a chemical or municipal sewer. Do not'discharge spills and
cleaning runoffs into open bodies of water. Remove clothing promptly; launder
before reuse. Wash skin with soap and water.. Decontaminant.solution: sodium
bisulfite solutions (about- ll% solids content) -decompose Biosperse 250 rapidly.
Laboratory tests indicate that the microbiocide is almost completely-•
deactivated within 30 minutes when treated with at least 4 equivalents of
decontaminating solution. .A volume .ratio of20/1 decontaminant/active.. ...
microbiocide is recommended. The following solutions - are.acceptable.
decontaminants: Ingredient: sodium metabisulfite (weight = 1 pound) +
water(weight = 8 pounds). Total 9 pounds. Solids content = 11.1%. pH = 4.2.
Ingredient: sodium bisulfite (weight 1 pound + water (weight 8.3 pounds).
..Total.;9.3 pounds. Solids content = 10.7%. pH = 4.2. Ingredient: sodium
sulfite (weight = 1 pound) + water (weight = 7 pounds) + hydrochloric acid(37%)
(weight = 0.67 pounds). Total 8.67 pounds. Solids content = 9,.5%. pH =
5-5.5. Note: Decontaminant solution must have ph on the acid side; since it
is much less effective when alkaline. In converting sodium sulfite to the
bisulfite, dissolve the salt in water and slowly add the acid with good
agitation to prevent liberation of sulfur dioxide caused by local excess of
acid. Keep containers of decontaminant solution closed or covered to reduce
accumulation of sulfur dioxide in the workplace(threshold limit value(ACGIH) 2
ppm). The solutions should be made fresh as needed. Personnel making up or
handling decontaminant solutions should wear goggles or face shield and rubber
gloves.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied
containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard
precautions given in the data sheet must be observed.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PER-SONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection
Chemical splash goggles and face shield (8" min.) in compliance with OSHA
regulations are advised; however, OSHA regulations also permit other.type
safety glasses. (Consult your industrial hygienist.)
Skin Protection
Wear resistant gloves such as:, -neoprene, nitrile rubber, To prevent skin
contact, wear impervious clothing and boots., Other protective equipment:
eyewash station, emergency shower..
Respiratory Protections
If overexposure has been determined or documented, a NIOSH/MSHA jointly
approved air supplied.respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental
control. OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH/MSHA res irators under
specified conditions. (See your safety equipment supplier. Engineering or
administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.
Engineering Controls
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to
maintain exposure below level of overexposure (from known, suspected or
apparent adverse effects).

Degradation Data
The degradation scheme for the active components
of BIOSPERSE 250 is isothiazolinone to N-methyl-

with the final products being acetic acid, formic acid
and carbon dioxide.

Detoxification
In case of spillage, BIOSPERSE 250 is easily
detoxified. A sodium bisulfate solution (about 11%
solids. content) decomposes BIOSPERSE 250
rapidly. Laboratory tests indicate that BIOSPERSE
250 is almost completely deactivated within 30
minutes when treated with at least 4 equivalents of
decontaminating solution. A volume ratio of 20/1
d000ntaminant/active microbiocide is racommanded.
Acceptable decontaminants are 11.1 wt. % sodium
metabisulfite, 10.8% wt. % sodium bisulfite or a 7.7
wt. % concentrated hydrochloric acid/11.5 wt. %
sodium sulfite solution.
