Table 1—Acute Water Quality Criteria for Protection of Aquatic Life in Ambient Water

EPA recommends that metals criteria be expressed as dissolved concentrations (see appendix A, I.A.4 for more information regarding metals criteria).

a CMC = CMC tr.

b CMC d = (CMC tr) CF. The CMC d shall be rounded to two significant digits.

c CMC should be considered free cyanide as CN.

d CMC = CMC t.

Notes:

The term “n/a” means not applicable.
