| Abstract |
This technical guidance examines what is needed in order to develop a metals translator. The translator is the fraction of total recoverable metal in the downstream water that is dissolved; that is, the dissolved metal concentration divided by the total recoverable metal concentration. Appendix A illustrates how the translator is applied in deriving permit limits for metals for single sites and as part of a TMDL for multiple sources. Appendix B presents some indications of site specificity in translator values. Appendix C illustrates the process of calculating the translator. Appendix D provides some detail of a statistical procedure to estimate sample size. Appendices E and F present information on clean sampling and analytical techniques which the reader may elect to follow. |
