MINIMUM QUANTIFICATION LEVELS (MQLs)

FOOTNOTES TO INFLUENT / EFFLUENT MONITORING TABLE

(1) It is advised that the influent and effluent samples are collected considering flow detention time through each plant.

Analytical MQLs (or MALS) must be met for the effluent (and SHOULD be met for the influent) so the data can also be used for local limits assessment and NPDES application purposes.

(2) This value was calculated during the development of TBLL based on State WQ criteria, EPA guidance and either ADEQ Pretreatment staff Excel spreadsheets or the Permittee’s consultant with concurrence from Pretreatment staff.

(3) Record the name of any pollutant (40 CFR 122, Appendix D, Tables II, III, V) detected and the concentration at which they were detected.

MAHL - Maximum Allowable Headworks Level / MAHC – Maximum Allowable Headworks Concentration

WQ - “Water Quality Levels not to exceed” OR actual permit limit.
