Title: Test Procedures for the Analysis of Co-Planar and Mono-Ortho-Substituted Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Under the Clean Water Act | |
Abstract: The proposal would amend the Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants under 40 CFR parts 136 and 503 to approve EPA Method 1668 for the congener-specific determination of co-planar and mono-ortho-substituted polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in effluent, ambient water, and sewage sludge. This method is necessary for the implementation of water quality-based permit conditions under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) of the Clean Water Act. Water quality-based permit conditions are necessary when technology-based controls do not ensure that a particular water body would meet the State's water quality standard. At present there is no promulgated EPA analytical method for determination of these PCBs at the levels of concern. | |
