The Department of Health issued the fish tissue advisory because the lee al of dioxin, as measured using a TEQ approach,was above 7 ppt. The level of dioxin li fish tissue which triggers a fish tissue advisory in Florida stdn tian that IEwel that would Indicate the water is not attaining thf-water gl>alihTcrite '- Th at is If an_ advisory for,dioxln e:dsts, a water quality standards ex dpo kh ts. Based on the fish advisory, EPA disapproved Florida s ar�list the Fenhollowa r River for dioxin and added the water to the State's section 303(d)list. Since EPA's decision on June 11, 2003, DOH rescinded the dioxin fish ti,sue advisory for the Fenholloway based on more recent data colleoted at key points al rig the river_ While the removal of the advisory indicates an improvement in water qua ity, it does not by itself, indicate that water quality standards are being attained since the levels which trigger a fish advisory are less stringent than the levels which would indicate the water quality standard is a,meeded. EPA received the deta that DOH used to remove the advisory and reviewed these data to determine if water quality standards are being met. In order to conduc this analysis, EPA used the risk assumptions used to derive the current applicable water quality criterion for 2,3,7,8 TCDD(0.014ppq)to determine an equivalent fish tics ie residu6 level. The assumptions used were 6.5 !d consumption rate, 70 kg avers y weight, a cancer risk level of 10"-6 (1 In 1 million), an a cancer po enoy :lope of 1.56 x 10"5. (See equation below). This results in a fish residue concentration or 0.07 parts per trillion (opt)TCDD. {3f the 6 composites available for analysis, 5 had )eve Is above the 0.07 leveleited*above (range 0.0690-0.689).The 6th sample was de ermined to be n6d u rto matrix i'n e eronce with an estimated maximum possibh: Concentration of 0,154pptr Based on this analysis, EPA has determined that the data indicate the Fe 1holloway River continues to br impaired for dioxin as the levels of dioxin determined to be present in the water column.-exceed the applicable water quality standard. trro�sr` `�e � DIV WATER QUALITY Fax:9197155637 Mar 2 '04 13:20 P.02 02-20-94 04r29pm From-EPA Standards, Meniterina & TMOL Branch +404 5629224 T-101 P.009/011 F-902 Attachment 1 Page Two body wei t(kg)X cancer risk level Criterion Cancer poten,�,y factor(mg/kg )X fish consumption rare(kg4*)X B;F(L&g) Cancer potency factor is The EPA value of 1.56 X 10' mg/kg/day Cancer risk level is 10-6 BCF is 5000 Body weight is 70 kg Fish consumption rats ig 6.5 g(day Criterion= 1.33x10'"m�V —0.014 ppq In order to calculate the fish tissue concentation that would re5ult from a water Alumn concentration equal to the crirenory the BCF is removed and The equation salved to yield 0,07ppt TCDD in fish tissucb x-t weight.

Canton Mill Dioxin Monitoring in Fish Tissue Report-2003 Dear Mr.Westall: Attached is the final report detailing the results from Blue Ridge Paper Products' fourteenth annual Fish Tissue Study. This study, as required by our NPDES permit, consists of annual sampling of fish at specific sites in the Pigeon River and analysis of those fish for dioxin. The actual fish collection took place in August 2003. All surveys were conducted by EA Engineering Science and Technology and the analyses were conducted by Severn Trent Laboratories. As you know, the Study Plan for the 2003 fish tissue monitoring was revised in response to the fish consumption advisory on the Pigeon River being completely rescinded and the Walters Lake advisory being partially rescinded. Carp in Walters Lake is the only fish species remaining under advisory for both the North Carolina and Tennessee portions of the Pigeon River. If you have any questions or comments,please call Bob Williams at(828) 646-2033 or Daryl Whitt at(828) 646-6814.
