Residuals Chlorine is being reported at <0.01 mg/l. It is requested that the TRC be limited. Please
note that a stream action level of 17 µg/l has been established for TRC to protect the receiving
stream against chronic toxicity effects and 28 µg/1 has been set as the maximum allowable effluent
TRC concentration to protect against acute toxicity effects.
Pending review and approval by P&E, it is recommended that the permit be renewed to
include the changes noted above.
