For all dischargers to all waters of the state:
Narrative aesthetic "Total Phenolic Compounds" water quality standard (300 ug/L). Data should be
supplied using US EPA Method 420.1 (colorimetric) or US EPA Method 420.4 (automated colorimetric),
and will be labeled "Phenols" or "Total Recoverable Phenolics". (EPA Parameter Code: 32730)
For dischargers to Water Supply (WS) streams that chlorinate the effluent:
"Chlorinated Phenolic Compounds" in Water Supply classified waters is an aesthetic standard
at 1.0 ug/L. Concentrations of all chlorinated phenolic compounds, detected above the PQL, using
US EPA Method 625 data, should be summed* and compared to the 1.0 ug/L water supply water
quality standard for "chlorinated phenolic compounds". (EPA Parameter Code: 34034)
The following is a list of Chlorinated Phenolic Compounds detected using US EPA Method 625:
2-chlorophenol 2,4-dichlorophenol
4-chloro-3-methylphenol pentachlorophenol
2,4,6-trichlorophenol
Additional chlorinated phenolic compounds MAY be reported. If reported above the PQL, the
additional chlorinated compounds should be added to the five chlorinated compounds listed above
to calculate the total chlorinated phenolics in the sample. NOTE: these additional compounds are NOT
required to be reported by 40 CFR Part 136 regulations for US EPA Method 625.
3-chlorophenol
2,5-dichlorophenol
2, 3 , 6-trichlorophenol
4-chloro-2-methylphenol
4-chlorophenol
2,6-dichlorophenol
2, 4, 5 -trichlorophenol
6-chloro-3-methylphenol
2,3-dichlorophenol
3,4-dichlorophenol
2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol
*The following US EPA Method 625 reported non -chlorinated phenolic compounds SHOULD NOT be
summed with the chlorinated data for comparison to the Water Supply standard for chlorinated phenolics:
2,4-Dimethylphenol 2,4-Dinitrophenol 2-Methyl-4,6-dinitrophenol
2-Nitrophenol 4-Nitrophenol Phenol
p-cresol (4-methylphenol) o-cresol (2-methylphenol)

9/11/2013 rdb
New freshwater RPA based on 95% probability/95% confidence
Statistically 58 points are the maximum number of points allowed under this RPA program. Data fields were estbalished to allow only 58 data point entries.
Additional messages will appear to alert user if more than 58 data points were enter and no predicted values will be calculated
All worksheets are "Protected"
The "mf calculator" is password "Protected"
OTHER CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS RPA PROGRAM:
A. When Model is applied (Check box activated):
1) assumes only chroinc dilution known
2) assumes user will insert appropriate flow values for "7Q10s (cfs)", "7Q10w (cfs)", "30Q2 (cfs)", "QA (cfs)" to define chronic dilution in terms of "IWC %", "IWC %" is the same for all stream flows
3) automatically assigns the entered chronic IWC % to the "IWC @ 7Q10s", "IWC @ 7Q10w", "IWC @ 30Q2", "IWC @ QA" values used in chronic WQS calculations (See "RPA" page)
3) "1Q10s (cfs)" automatically defaults to no acute dilution, acute IWC = 100% ,"IWC @ 1Q1Os" = 100% which is used in acute WQS calculatons (See "RPA" page)
B. When Model is not applied (Check box NOT activated):
1) assumes user will insert appropriate flow values for "7Q10s (cfs)", "7Q10w (cfs)", "30Q2 (cfs)", "QA (cfs)" , "Flow Qw (MGD)" for chronic IWC % calculations, IWC % will vary according to flows
3) automatically calculates chronic -based IWC % for the "IWC @ 7Q10s", "IWC @ 7Q10w", "IWC @ 30Q2", "IWC @ QA" values used in chronic WQS calculations (See "RPA" page)
3) "1Q10s (cfs)" is automatically calculated bases on entered "7Q10s (cfs)" flow
4) automatically calculates acute -based IWC% for the "IWC @ 1Q1Os" value used in acute WQS calculations (See "RPA" page)
C. When paremeter's "Impaired?" check box is activated:
1) automtically activtes the "IMPAIRED" message alert on the "RPA" page for that parameter
2) does NOT make any automatic adjustements to WQS calculations
NOTE: If new or expanding discharge and receiving stream impaired, will need to evaluate if additional waste load is allowed
10/30/2013 rdb
1) Amended "ERR' alert on data sets entreies to activate if "<" entered but no value entered, does not effect RPA calculation, ERR message only
2) Added new calculation feature to count nondetects when both "<" and a value are entered for each data set, used to calculate detected entries
3) Amended "Comments" drop down menu - per Juile
4) Turned the Chronic toxicity concentration message off on the RPA page - per Julie
2/10/14:
ON "data" page changed highlighted area from blue shades to gray
5/2/14 rdb
1) Increased rounding factor on all calculated IWC% to 7 decimals
2) Increased display for all calkculated to 6 decimals places.
5/5/14 rdb
Increased rounding factor on all calculated IWC% to 9 decimals
5/21/14 rdb
Removed ROUND function from all IWC% calculations

3/18/16:
Removed HUC table and HUC hardness lookup features from calculations and program.
Note: HUC number is an available option on the INPUT as an informational input only to use as a display label for other portion of the progam and has no Data Validation features.
Added Upstream Hardness calculation feature using measured upstream data:
1) INPUT display shows "Upstream Hardess" status and how upstream data is applied
2) DATA has new Upstream Hardness input sheet to accept upstream hardness data used to calculate number of data enties, data set average, data set 10th percentile value
3) Diss to Total Metal Calculator determines which upstream hardness to apply, if the number of data entries exceed 30 then the average value is used, if the number of data enties are less than 30 then the
10th percentile value is used. Anytime the applied upstream hardness is less than 25 mg/L then a default value of 25 mg/L is applied.
4/26/16:
Per Julia want to use average values for both the effluent and upstream hardness calculations. Defaults to be the same as was applied in the HUC base RPA.
1) Changed all upstream hardness median calculations to average calculations.
2) Removed any greater than 99.999 defaults from upstream hardness conditional statements. Upstream average will be actual execpt when less than 25, then 25 is the default.
3) Changed all effluent hardness median calculations to average calculations. Conditional statements for WS still apply, efflunet average value above 99.999 default to 99.
4) Any conditional statement referring to median hardness were revised.
5) Removed "(AL)" from parameter labels as no longer applicable.
6) Renamed RPA to describe features
4/27/16:
Per Julia when WS is being applied, the combined acute and chroinc hardness needs to default to 100 if the combined hardness exceeds 100. Made changes:
1) Set up new cells to calculate combined acute and chronic hardness, defined cells as program names ACCH & ACAH.
2) Revised the conditional statemenst for CHC and CHA to default to 100 if ACCH & ACAH exceed 100 when WS was applied.
3) Revised INPUT page Combined Acute and Chronic display condtitional statements to indicate defaults
4) Revised RPA page Combined Hardness Acut and Chronic displays conditional statemenst to indicate defaults
4/28/16:
Fixed programming errors so "NO DETECTS" display feature on RPA page for Nickel and Chromium VI now function.
Revised RPA page drop menu "Recommended Action" list to remove RP Action Level text and change "RP non action level..." text to state "RP shown...".
Added statement to 2B .0500 RULES page "4/28/16: Note Action Level designation no long allowed per EPA."
4/29/16:
Added ROUND function to conditional statements on INPUT page hardess displays to limit hardness value display to 2 decimal points.
Revised upstream default conditional factor to 24.9999 on INPUT page to allow actual upstream hardness of 25 to be displayed as non -default value.

Dissolved to Total Metal Calculator
Do NOT enter any data directly into this spreadsheet.
Enter data onto "Table 1" under the Input Sheet and enter
"Effluent Hardness" under the Data Sheet.
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.45 (c ), permits are, have and
must be written as total metals.
This calculator has been inserted into the RPA to calculate
Total Metal allowable allocations once Table 1 has been
completed (Input Sheet) and Effluent hardness has been
entered (Data Sheet).
1) Following the spreadsheet from left to right.
First the allowable allocations for the dissolved metals
will appear for all the metals listed once Table 1 is
complete and effluent hardness entered. Use a default
value of 25 mg/L if no hardness data is available.
Second, the Dissolved Metal allocations are divided by
the Translators to determine the Total Metals that can be
allocated to the Permittee. These Total Metals values are
automatically inserted into Table 2 and are the allowable
Total Metal allocations determined for the Permittee
prior to allowing for dilution. See Input sheet Table 2. The
final acute and chronic values shown under the RPA sheet
are the Total Metal values listed in Table 2 divided by the
acute and chronic IWC, respectively.
2) The Translators used in the freshwater RPA are the
Partition Coefficients published by US EPA in 1984. They
are TSS dependent equations and can be found listed
with the WQS hardness dependent equations under the
sheet labeled Equations. A fixed TSS value of 10 mg/L is
used to calculate the Translator values.
3) Pretreatment Facilities - PERCS will need a copy of the
Dissolved to Total Metal Calculator spreadsheet and the
RPA sheet along with the Final Permit. Pretreatment
Facilities are required to renew their Headwords Analysis
after renewal of their permits. Since all their metal
allocations are likely to change PERCS needs to see any
new metal permit limits and the allowable allocations for
the dissolved metals to assess Maximum Allowable
Headworks Loading (MAHL) numbers for each metal
based on the Combined Hardness values used in the
permit writers RPA calculations.
4) For Cadmium, Lead, Nickel, Chromium and Beryllium, if
all the effluent sampling data for the last three to five
years shows the pollutant at concentrations less than the
Practical Quantitative Level (PQL), it is not likely a limit or
monitoring will be put in the permit. However, if the
estimated NPDES permit limit is less than the Practical
Quantitative Limit (particularly, Cadmium and Lead) and
the pollutant is believed to be present, to assess
compliance with the new standards and for future permit
limit development, monitoring for the pollutant will be
required. If the facility is monitoring for the pollutant in
its Pretreatment LTMP, no monitoring is needed in the
permit.

Dissolved Metals & Hardness Determination
v. 5/27/2010
I. How to Determine Hardness for use with Dissolved Freshwater Standards for Permitting Purposes
HARDNESS - Use 25 mq/L, expressed as CaCO, or Ca+Mq, as the default Hardness
OR
To determine a Hardness value for permit
Hardness
(mass balance)
limit development, use the following equation:
_ (Hardness instream(a), mq/L * 7Q10, MGD)+(Hardness effluent(b), ma/L* Plant flow, MGD)
(7Q10, MGD + Plant flow, MGD)
(a) Use the median instream Hardness value of the ambient 8-digit HUC data collected by the Division of Water Quality. To find the 8-digit HUC hardness value for your facility, Click Here.
(b) For the purpose of this estimation, use the facility's median effluent Hardness value, if available. The Division will request the permittee to sample effluent hardness once/month and submit one to two years of data with the permit renewal
II. To Develop Dissolved Metal concentrations for permitting purposes use the Freshwater Standards for Hardness Dependent Metals listed in Table A below.
