2 Find your Happy Place

3 AGENDA: Exciting Powerpoint Slides on Workbook Quick review of spreadsheets in Workbook Loading spreadsheet on laptops with Excel Break (hopefully with cookies) Challenging small team exercise Celebrate getting the right answers Note: Instructor carries <$20 in cash

4 Why Develop Local Limits Tool: Use EPA Spreadsheet (based on PRELIM) Hand calculations using formulas in EPA Manual on Development of LL s and supp. Manual. - Arduous to do and to check Use POTW developed spreadsheet. Difficult for Ecology to check & critique Use a consulting firm or outside expertise POTW staff may not understand, maintain.

5 Attempt to: Benefits of Providing Spreadsheet: Provide standardized format using common program. Reduce burden of task (easy to do and update) Use POTW s site specific data (technically based) Facilitates calculating local limits several different ways. Yield limits that protect POTW processes, receiving waters, and sludge uses Generate limits to prevent sewer toxicity, explosion, HW Provides tools for allocating organic loading capacity

6 Where to Find the Spreadsheet ance.html Guidance Manual: Using NEWLLqq Local Limits Excel Spreadsheet -NEWLL11 (pub) Today using NEWLL12 (improved HW function) Guidance Manual for Developing Local Discharge Limits My

7 Local Limits Excel Spreadsheet: Features to Facilitate Limits: Works (if necessary) with minimal POTW information such as no sampling data. Uses sampling data when available. Evaluates the quality of the sampling data. Accounts for the sludge disposal method. Produces defensible local limits Easily used by permit writer or POTW Incorporates current WQ standards

8 Audience for the Spreadsheet Ecology staff that develop & review limits POTWs that must or wish to revisit Local Limits and ensure they are technically based. People finding the data difficult to manage & formulas to calculate LL s complex & arduous. Prior users of EPA spreadsheets who want a contemporary and more flexible option.

9 Technically Based Local Limits Required of Approvable Programs Requires staff time to do hand calculations Depending on the allocation scheme, requires maintenance as variables change. Certain allocation schemes require close maintenance and regular Hiring outside contractor can yield product not be understood by POTW staff.

10 Spreadsheet Care & Maintenance Spreadsheet Improvement requires feedback What s missing or frustrating? How is it for entering sampling data? Would locking cells that contain formulas prevent accidents or just limit usefulness? How useful is the spreadsheet manual? Policy on use and revision of spreadsheet: Human Health Standards Organic Pollutant limits

11 Ecology s NEWLL11.xls PRO s Has a manual explaining program Can see formulas used, infinitely customizable Enter Mixing Zones directly Several cross checks to improve accuracy Uses most popular spreadsheet program Estimates/projects the NPDES limits for a POTW CON s Specific to Washington MZ rules, criteria

12 Practical Exercise (NEWLL12.xls) Example with one metal intended to show: What data is needed for analysis, How the spreadsheet processes the data, The options available in the analysis, How to double check & refine the analysis, How to implement new standards, AKART.

23 Reserving Capacity MAHL v.s. MAIL Two Methods Reserving a Portion of either The MAIL Fraction of Industrial Loading Capacity in reserve (a slice of the MAIL) The Headworks Loading, (a slice of the entire pie) GENERALLY One or the Other Sales 10% of MAHL 10% 10% of MAIL 5% Domestic 42% Industrial 43%

24 Entering Data: Basic Data Rows Fraction of Industrial Loading Capacity in reserve 10.00% Fraction of Headworks Loading held in reserve 5.00%

25 Choosing Pollutants of Concern (rows 44 through 65) Pre-selected: Antimony, Arsenic, Arsenic+5, Beryllium, Cadmium, Chromium(Hex), Chromium(T), Copper, Cyanide, Lead, Mercury, Molybdenum, Nickel, Selenium, Silver, Thallium, Tributyl Tin, Zinc. ADD or remove pollutants from the local limits analysis by unchecking the box to the right of the analyte (column C) on the Basic Data spreadsheet. Four rows at end (62-65) will be normally blank. These are for additional analytes, but using these rows will require finding out the WQ and HH criteria (if exist) for them and entering that in the POTW Limits spreadsheet. NOTE: Rows Provide a recap of the options chosen for each analyte, but the program anticipates you would adjust the analysis method for a particular analyte on the Local Limits tab (which then is pulled here).

32 Local Limits Part III Part III is a summary of WQ, Inhibition, and Sludge Usage Criteria Part III: CONCENTRATIONS LIMITING THE POTW DU WQ Acute criteria, aquatic life (mg/l) mg/l WQ Chronic criteria, aquatic life (mg/l) mg/l WQ Chronic criteria, human health (mg/l) NA Activated Sludge Inhibition Level 1. mg/l Anaerobic Digestor Inhibition Level 40. mg/l Class A Sludge standards (40 CFR 503) 1,500. mg/l Sludge ceiling concentration for beneficial u 4,300. mg/l

33 How the Data is Processed Hardness is used to derive fresh water stds. Copper Example: Cu a =.96*e^(0.9422[ln(hardness)]-1.464) Cu c =.96*e^(0.8545[ln(hardness)]-1.465) Standards are adjusted to mixing zone size and amount of assimilative capacity already taken. Sludge class dictates biosolids standards Activated sludge inhibition evaluated if A POTW & IU Flows dictate how MAHL is divided

34 Part IV Pollutant Concentration Summary All this data except Typical Domestic Concentrations and Adjusted Domestic Concentration comes from the Sample Data spreadsheet. The Typical Domestic Concentration is from EPA s 1988 Local Limits Manual. The Adjusted Domestic Concentration backs out industrial loadings from the MAHL. It s used instead of Influent for estimating current HW loading if Credit Present Loading of Existing Sources is Y Part IV: POLLUTANT CONCENTRATION COPPER 33 Estimated Average Industrial Conc mg/l 34 Ambient Concentration (receiving water) mg/l 35 Adjusted Domestic concentration mg/l 36 Typical Domestic Concentrations mg/l 37 Average Sludge Level (mg/kg - Dry) 144. mg/kg 38 Average Influent Level (mg/l) mg/l 39 Average Effluent Level (mg/l) mg/l

37 Part VI How to Calculate Limits: Allows Adjustment of Methodology selected in the Basic Data section for a particular Pollutant. For example, if sample data or removal rates are only available for certain pollutants. Part VI: HOW TO CALCULATE LIMITS: 50 Sampling Data Available (inf, eff, sludge) (Y/N) Y 51 Credit present loading of existing sources (Y/N Y 52 Adjust for receiving water pollution Y 53 Use Observed Overall Removal Rate (Y/N) Y 54 Use Observed Primary Removal Rate (Y/N) Y

38 Part VII: Local Limits for Protecting the POTW Headworks Comparison of Limits Indicated by the various routes of Pass Through, Inhibition, or Sludge Quality. Part VII: LOCAL LIMITS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH: 57 Acute WQ Standards (in mg/l) mg/l 58 Chronic WQ Standards (in mg/l) mg/l 59 HH Limits (in mg/l) NA 60 Sludge Application Limits (in mg/l) mg/l 61 Activated Sludge Inhibition (in mg/l) mg/l 62 Anaerobic Digestor Inhibition (in mg/l) mg/l

39 Evaluate the Lowest Limit Limits correspond to each criteria. The lowest is limiting, but confirm applicability. Limits based on inhibition, may be adjusted based upon research and experience. When limits are high, AKART may dictate lowering to a reasonable level of treatment Factor of safety included only at the end (rather than in several assumptions)

40 Part VIII Sample Quality Evaluation Tools Used to see if (for conservative pollutants) what is coming in matches what is going out (effluent and biosolids). Ignores losses to grit/screenings. Done on a mass basis and relative percentages Part VIII: SAMPLE QUALITY EVALUATION TOOLS: 65 Influent Pollutant Loading (per sampling) lbs 66 Pollutants in biosolids (per sampling) lbs 67 Pollutants in effluent (per sampling) lbs 68 % Influent load accounted for: (eff/inf) % 69 Current HW Load Implied by Sludge Data: 20.51%

41 Mass Based Analysis With concentration based limits, industries have an inherent disincentive to conserve water that can override the cost of water. Mass based limits provide equal protection when done properly (MAHL is a management tool). Mass limits ensure that increased flows do not cause the industry to exceed MAHL. Limiting both Flow & Concentration essentially limits Mass already, main difference is perception.

42 Mass Based Analysis Tools This section shows the MAHL and MAIL (absent any reserve). If using a mass based allocation scheme, you may wish to have each IU and their allocation listed to you can confirm the total is below the MAIL. PART IX: MASS BASED ANALYSIS 70 Limiting MAHL (Dom Load + LL*IUflow) lb/d 71 Max. Allowable Industrial Loading lb/d

43 Determine the Allocation Scheme Uniform Allocation Method (default) Contributing Flows can be used by: Estimating total flows for each pollutant Changing flow on a pollutant by pollutant basis Tiered Limits Multiply flow by factor to get equivalent flow for the Tier (at SIU level), then adjust limit. Mass based limits require an allocation scheme (accounting) as would conventional pollutants. Targeted reduction is not addressed in NEWLL12

44 Using Uniform Allocation Method Part X provides a recap of the limits, and what they are with the proposed reserve included. Part X: LOCAL LIMIT RECAP: Copper 74 Lowest Limit mg/l 75 With 10.% of MAIL reserved for future IUs 3.38 mg/l 76 With 5.% of MAHL reserved for growth mg/l 77 With both reservations (MAIL and MAHL) mg/l 78 WA Dangerous Waste Threshold:

47 Coconut Crab (Crawling out of Sewer)

48 PRACTICAL EXERCISE #1 - Minnowville Enter the data provided in the Minnowville Handout, in the Basic Data tab of NEWll12.Example1.xlsm. Summary of sampling data has been entered into the Sample Data Tab. Review the output in the POTW Limits Tab assess: Part 1: Which limits will be reduced by using a technically based methodology? (Current Minnowville limits at row 81) Part 2: Would any limits exceed the HW Criteria? Part 3: Which limits, are different when adjusting to receiving water hardness of 32 rather than 60mg/l, and by how much?

49 Answers to Exercise #1 Part 1: Which limits does the analysis find must be lower than presently in force: Cadmium (.29 mg/l v. 1.0 mg/l), Copper (3.28 mg/l v mg/l) Cyanide (1.015 mg/l v. 1.2 mg/l) Nickel (2.12 mg/l v mg/l) Silver (0.22 mg/l v mg/l) Part 2: Chromium limits must be 5.00 mg/l or less to meet (8)(c) WAC Part 3: Reducing receiving water hardness from 60 mg/l to 32 mg/l changes the following limits (all other factors remaining constant): Cadmium: 0.29 mg/l reduce to 0.10 mg/l Copper: 3.28 mg/l reduced to 1.25 mg/l Lead: 1.2 mg/l reduced to 0.28 mg/l Silver: 0.22 mg/l reduced to 0.02 mg/l

50 Exercise #2 Managing The MAIL Continuing the Minnowville situation, the mayor wants you to allow a new industry that wants to start discharging 30,000 gpd with copper levels of up to 1.0 mg/l. Existing industries (40,000 gpd) have average pollutant concentrations listed in Sample Data tab. Part 1: Find at least two options you might employ that would allow taking this wastewater? Part 2: Which option would you prefer, and why? Part 3: How would you implement your preferred option? Part 4: Would growth in domestic wastewater flows help?

51 Exercise #2 Solutions: Evaluation Two existing SIUs have flows of 20,000 gpd each. The two existing SIU s have average copper levels of mg/l, and so discharge about 8.34*.04*0.115 = 0.04 lb/d. (see AVE Industrial Conc. at row 10 of Sample Data sheet) Row 71: MAIL = 0.49 lb/d Row 70: MAHL = 0.70 lb/d Requested loading = 0.03MGD * 8.34 * 1.0ppm =.25 lb/d, Loading from all SIU s ( ppm = 0.58 lb/d

52 Exercise #2 Solutions: Part 1 OPTIONS 1. Limit Minnowville s two existing industries (w / 0.4MGD) to twice their normal concentration (0.23 mg/l), freeing up.41 lb/d of loading (49,000 gpd at 1.0 mg/l). DRAWBACK: Existing Users may protest. 2. Give all IU s mass based limits, e.g lb/d for existing Users, 0.39 lb/d for the new one. DRAWBACK: Maintenance of the limits. 3. Limit SIU s to 59,000 gpd from all SIU s at 1.0 mg/l copper (= the MAIL = 0.49 lb/d total). DRAWBACK: Doesn t provide the requested limits. 4. Explore NPDES permit options to get a larger mixing zone ratio or to calculate POTW limits using the hardness of effluent and ambient waters (i.e. mixed hardness ). If effluent hardness is 120, mixed hardness at the acute MZ Boundary = 53.5 DRAWBACK: Slow, difficult 5. Revisit IU monitoring data to see if either is dilute for copper. If so, use contributing flows method to allocate MAIL only to SIU s with above domestic concentrations. DRAWBACK: Need data for analysis

53 Exercise #2 Solutions Part 2: Which option would you prefer, and why? All solutions have their drawbacks, but how much time there is to make a decision may limit the available solutions. Part 3: How would you implement your preferred option? Changes which relax local limits require program modification, specific notice to existing SIU s, ordinance changes, and AA approval. Part 4: Would growth in domestic wastewater flows help? Yes: In fact, if all other variables remain constant a 10% increase in domestic flow (combined with the.04 MGD new SIU flow) would allow all 0.07 MGD of SIU flows at 1.0 mg/l of copper (absent any safety factor). Adjust POTW flow in the Basic Data tab to evaluate different scenarios

54 Exercise #3 Explosivity & Vapor Toxicity Limits Problem: One of the City of Minnowville s existing industries (Clown Shoes Inc.) is changing their processes & sent in a new permit renewal application with the following previously unaddressed pollutant characteristics: Carbon Disulfide = 1.5 mg/l Trichloroethylene = 2.1 mg/l Chloroform =.53 mg/l Part 1: Do these levels meet Explosivity screening levels? Part 2: Does these levels meet Vapor Toxicity screening levels? Part 3: What limits would you propose for these pollutants?

55 Exercise #3 -- Solution Part #1 NO, Carbon Disulfide Explosivity limit =.5 mg/l Part #2 NO Part #3 Limits proposed are as follows: Carbon Disulfide =.08 mg/l vapor toxicity limit (< 1.5 mg/l) Trichloroethylene = 0.5 mg/l HW Limit (0.7 mg/l vapor Toxicity) Chloroform =.41 mg/l (Vapor toxicity limit) (<.53 mg/l) NOTE: EPA Methodology promotes the % of exposure limit for several substances should be added to approximate the cumulative toxicity of the mixture. (e.g. if one substance is at 50% of its threshold vapor toxicity concentration, and another at 80%, the total would be at 130% of the permissible limit.)

56 Exercise #4 Compatible Pollutants Minnowville s POTW is required to meet low ammonia limits. The POTW is at 51% of their BOD capacity of 1,670 lb/day and has blowers capable of satisfying an Actual Oxygen Requirement (AOR) of 3,000 lb/day. The POTW receives maximum monthly average ammonia loadings of 180 lb/d and MMA flows of 0.4 MGD and needs to know if they can accommodate an IU (a Cold storage company using ammonia as refrigerant) which will need to discharge up to 75lb/day of ammonia. Can they accommodate this additional ammonia loading and still meet permit limits? How does this change the date they run out of capacity if they are growing at 5% per year?

57 Given information at Conventional Tab Strategies for Managing Capacity: Surcharge Rates (Generic backstop useful for all POTWs) Purchasing Capacity (up to Max rate) Contracts (Useful for larger Users that need to reduce risks) Permits (Terms & conditions used to set upper limits, not typically for cost reimbursement) First come first served (until it s all gone - not recommended) Typical Analysis Methods: CURRENT BOD Loading Breakout Loading in use for Commercial Sources Loading of current Domestic Sources Loading used by Significant Industries Loading in reserve in reserve for domestic use Loading in reserve for SIU's

58 Solution to Compatible Pollutant Problem Since flow capacity is not at issue, Check loading capacity: Oxygen Delivery Capacity of the POTW: = 3,000 lb/d (design value) Present MMA loading of BOD5: = 850 lb/d Conversion Factor lb O 2 /lb BOD: = 1.25 Total Oxygen used for BOD5 treatment = lb/d Present MMA Ammonia (NH3+4 as N) loading: = 180lb Desired MMA loading of Ammonia = lb/d = 255 lb/d Conversion Factor lb O 2 /lb Ammonia (as N) = 4.6 Total Oxygen used for Ammonia = 4.6 * 255lb/d = 1,173 lb/d Total Oxygen for BOD and Ammonia = 2,235.5 lb/d Percentage of Oxygen Delivery Capacity Used: = 74.5% ANSWER: Additional Loading can be treated without upgrading the POTW Time until capacity reached at 5% overall growth per year? = 6 years (with new ammonia loading) v.s. 10 years (without additional ammonia)

59 Years of Capacity Remaining Use iterative approach or Engineering Economic Analysis Tables. (Iterative approach is simpler to explain): Future Loading = Current Loading (1+growth rate %) 2016 = 2,235.5 lb/d (Current loading with new User) 2017 = 2,235.5 * (1.05) = 2, lb/d (in 1 year) 2018 = 2, * (1.05) = 2, lb/d (in 2 years) 2019 = 2, * (1.05) = 2, lb/d (in 3 years) 2020 = 2, * (1.05) = 2, lb/d (in 4 years) 2021 = 2, * (1.05) = 2, lb/d (in 5 years) 2022 = 2, (~ 3,000 lb/d) AOR in 6 years Similarly, absent the new User capacity reached in 10 years
