Introduction
This
deliverable
presents
the
final
revised
and
updated
typical
pollutant
concentration
(
TPC)
table
(
Appendix
A)
along
with
Tetra
Tech's
findings,
recommendations,
and
documentation
(
Appendix
B).
The
original
TPC
table
was
developed
by
the
National
Oceanic
and
Atmospheric
Administration
(
NOAA)
and
lists
the
typical
concentrations
of
selected
parameters
in
discharges
based
on
the
type
of
processes
and
effluent.
Tetra
Tech
has
updated
the
TPC
Table
contained
in
the
document
entitled
Point
Source
Methods
Document
(
NOAA,
1993),
which
presents
the
methodology
used
in
the
National
Coastal
Pollutant
Discharge
Inventory
(
NCPDI)
and
includes
NOAA's
most
recent
published
version
of
the
TPC
table
(
see
Appendix
C).

One
of
the
driving
forces
behind
the
effort
to
update
the
TPC
table
is
to
incorporate
it
into
the
effluent
data
statistics
(
EDS)
routine
to
allow
users
of
the
Permit
Compliance
System
(
PCS)
to
develop
more
accurate
pollutant
loading
estimates
from
point
sources
where
site­
specific
monitoring
information
is
not
available.
This
capability
might
also
prove
useful
in
predicting
changes
in
future
point
source
loadings
and
their
possible
impact
on
receiving
waters,
as
well
as
enhance
enforcement
of
existing
permits.

Some
of
the
data
in
the
TPC
table
are
over
a
decade
old
and
were
collected
prior
to
the
implementation
of
effluent
guidelines
for
those
industries.
Advances
in
technology
and
changes
in
processes
to
comply
with
effluent
guidelines
and
increasingly
more
stringent
water
quality­
based
National
Pollutant
Discharge
Elimination
System
(
NPDES)
permit
limits
could
lead
to
different
pollutant
loadings
than
were
reported
at
the
time
of
data
collection.
With
this
deliverable,
Tetra
Tech
has
updated
and
revised
the
TPC
table
using
PCS
data
where
possible,
so
that
EDS
users
will
have
additional
data
choices
available.

Sources
of
TPC
update
values
Updated
values
for
the
TPC
table
came
from
a
variety
of
sources.
Tetra
Tech's
initial
approach
focused
on
evaluating
development
documents
and
related
studies
for
industrial
categories
that
had
been
subject
to
effluent
limitations
guidelines
development
since
1988.
If
applicable
industry­
wide
pollutant
concentration
information
was
provided,
those
values
were
chosen
to
update
old
TPC
figures.
NOAA's
original
TPC
table
drew
values
from
a
preliminary
version
of
the
Industry
Summary
Sheet
document
for
many
industryspecific
pollutant
concentrations.
The
final
version
of
this
document
(
Versar,
1988),
was
reviewed
by
Tetra
Tech.
If
the
document
contained
a
new
value
for
a
TPC
pollutant,
that
value
was
considered
as
a
new
TPC.

The
next
stage
of
analysis
utilized
discharge
monitoring
report
(
DMR)
data
from
PCS.
The
concentration
median
was
considered
as
a
new
TPC
for
pollutants
whose
concentration
value
was
derived
from
10%
or
greater
of
the
facilities
having
PCS
data
available
for
that
industry.
Best
professional
judgement
was
used
in
evaluating
TPCs
based
on
discharges
from
few
facilities.
If
a
pollutant
concentration
was
derived
from
one
facility,
that
value
was
disqualified
for
consideration
as
a
new
TPC.

Permit
Compliance
System
Data
Tetra
Tech
conducted
a
detailed
evaluation
of
DMR
data
from
PCS.
The
following
methodology
was
used
to
generate
the
statistical
information
(
Appendix
D).
Data
were
retrieved
for
the
parameters
selected
for
the
groupings
included
in
the
TPC
Table.
Additional
parameters
were
included;
generally,
these
included
metals,
organics,
nutrients,
and
flow.
If
there
was
no
discharge
indicated,
the
record
was
dropped.
Records
that
indicated
zero
values
were
deleted.
Statistics
were
derived
from
1991­
1998
annual
loadings.

All
concentration­
based
units
were
converted
to
milligrams
per
liter
and
flow
units
were
converted
to
million
gallons
per
day.
Greater
than
and
less
than
signs
were
eliminated
and
the
value
taken
whole.
The
data
were
then
trimmed
to
fit
the
rule:
If
the
value
for
maximum
or
average
concentration
is
less
than
the
5th
percentile
or
greater
than
the
95th
percentile
of
the
entire
parameter,
the
value
will
be
made
blank
(
i.
e.,
missing).
The
resulting
statistics
are
presented
in
Appendix
D.

Preliminary
evaluation
of
these
data
indicate
that
many
TPC
parameter
values
tend
to
be
higher
than
the
DMR
data,
which
could
result
in
an
overestimation
of
loadings.
PCS
pollutant
parameters
that
were
at
least
85%
populated
are
presented
in

Decision
Rule
Descriptions:

When
all
the
TPC
values
were
laid
out,
decisions
about
what
numbers
to
accept
had
to
be
made.
The
following
rules
describe
the
methodology
used.

No
update:
No
new
information
is
available
to
update
the
old
TPC
value
or
the
new
information
did
not
meet
best
professional
judgement
screening.
The
original
TPC
value
remains
the
same
(
regardless
of
whether
or
not
a
value
was
provided
for
the
pollutant).

10%:
PCS
data
provide
an
update.
The
number
of
facilities
providing
the
pollutant
concentration
is
at
least
10%
of
the
total
number
of
PCS
facilities
used
for
the
individual
industry
group.

Total
facility
versus
"
process
only"
concentrations
P­
Factor
When
the
PCS
analysis
proposed
a
new
TPC,
that
value
is
representative
of
the
total
facility
typical
discharge
concentration.
P­
factors
should
not
be
used
when
calculating
loadings
for
these
pollutants.
Where
the
old
TPC
values
remain,
or
were
replaced
with
more
recent
data
from
the
literature,
then
Pfactors
are
still
needed
for
evaluating
combination
pipe
flows
because
concentrations
are
based
on
process
flow
only.

PCS
Waste
Type
Field
To
assist
Tetra
Tech's
efforts
to
evaluate
using
the
total
facility
discharge
concentration
approach,
Steve
Rubin
of
EPA/
OECA
ran
a
parsing
program
to
populate
the
waste
type
field
for
PCS
pipes.
About
18,000
pipes
were
then
given
waste
codes,
supplementing
the
field
of
30,000
original
codes.
For
industries
with
large
cooling
flows
relative
to
their
process
flows,
Tetra
Tech
ran
an
additional
analysis,
and
compared
these
total
facility
concentration
numbers
with
NOAA's
"
process
only"
concentrations
isolated
from
the
waste
field.
Results
were
inconclusive
(
Appendix
E).
The
PCS
data
analysis
for
"
process
only"
pipe
concentrations
are
based
on
fewer
data
points,
so
Tetra
Tech
recommends
using
the
total
facility
value
where
the
two
are
similar
in
comparison
to
the
old
TPC
value.

An
additional
evaluation
of
discharging
facilities
in
New
Jersey
revealed
a
weakness
of
using
the
PCS
waste
type
code
to
segregate
process
flows
from
other
flows.
Many
pipes
including
process
waste
in
New
Jersey
facilities
were
classified
as
"
other"
in
the
waste
type
field.
The
"
other"
category,
coupled
with
waste
type
pipes
such
as
sanitary
or
cooling,
composed
all
the
identified
pipe
waste
types
reported
for
a
facility.

NOAA's
Suggested
Revisions
Tetra
Tech
received
a
hand
written
copy
of
NOAA's
suggested
revisions
to
the
1993
TPC
Table
at
the
May
12,
1998
project
meeting
(
these
data
are
included
in
Table
5).
Tetra
Tech
does
not
have
any
background
information
or
other
documentation
about
how
and
why
these
suggested
revisions
were
made
beyond
what
was
discussed
at
the
meeting
and
in
a
subsequent
phone
call
with
Percy
Pacheco
of
NOAA.
These
data,
therefore,
are
presented
in
order
to
carry
forward
NOAA's
work
since
the
TPC
table
was
published
in
1993.

Flow
The
effort
to
upgrade
the
TPC
flow
values
involved
additional
PCS
analyses,
evaluation
of
industry
studies
and
use
of
other
sources
of
flow
information,
including
the
Clean
Water
Needs
Survey
(
CWNS)
Database
and
the
Industrial
Facilities
Database
(
IFD).
Tetra
Tech
attempted
to
develop
a
"
typical
flow"
for
minor
facilities
within
a
given
industrial
category
but
was
unable
to
do
so.
The
PCS
data
that
were
evaluated
included
7
values
that
called
into
question
the
validity
of
conducting
further
analysis
using
this
approach.
The
IFD
data
were
not
suitable
for
this
analysis.
The
CWNS
data
were
acceptable,
but
were
obviously
only
applicable
to
group
99
(
treatment
works),
and
therefore,
of
limited
value
in
the
analysis.
Results
of
the
effort
to
assess
flow
data
are
presented
in
Appendix
F.

Conclusions/
Recommendations
The
updated
TPC
table
provides
EDS
users
with
the
opportunity
to
use
DMR
data
and
other
facility
information
taken
from
PCS.
The
major
strength
of
using
this
source
of
data
for
TPC
is
that
actual
Improving
Point
Source
Loadings
Data
for
Reporting
National
Water
Quality
Indicators
9
measured
information
from
facilities
taken
during
the
1990s
is
arguably
more
reliable
than
the
older
information
from
the
effluent
guidelines
development
process.
The
use
of
PCS
data
should
reflect
the
use
of
technologies
that
have
been
in
place
at
facilities
since
the
effluent
guidelines
were
promulgated
and
also
should
reflect
any
additional
treatment
technologies
in
place
to
allow
a
facility
to
meet
water
quality­
based
effluent
limitations.
Tetra
Tech
believes
that,
for
this
reason,
use
of
the
PCS­
derived
TPC
values
truly
are
more
reflective
of
"
typical"
than
the
values
in
the
original
TPC
table.

Use
of
PCS­
derived
TPC
values
also
incorporates
storm
water
flow,
sanitary
waste,
and
"
other"
flow
from
industrial
facilities,
in
what
can
best
be
termed
"
total
facility
TPC."
While
there
is
no
way
to
be
certain
of
the
actual
amount
of
these
non­
process
flows
when
evaluating
a
typical
facility
when
no
actual
(
monitored)
data
are
available
in
PCS,
Tetra
Tech
believes
that
EPA
would
be
able
to
generate
a
more
accurate
typical
facility
load
of
pollutants
through
use
of
the
updated
TPC
table.

Incorporating
the
updated
TPC
while
retaining
the
capability
of
using
the
original
TPC
would
seem
to
be
a
desirable
approach
because
it
allows
for
estimation
of
the
typical
pollutant
concentration
from
a
typical
industrial
process
as
well
as
what
is
typical
from
an
entire
facility.
