C. 20003 Contract Number 68-01-6058 Project Number WA-80-A055 ------- INTRODUCTION This digest is compiled to provide general information to the public as well as to Federal, State, and local officials. It contains excerpts from the individual Federal-State water quality standards establishing pollutant specific criteria for interstate surface waters. The water quality standards program is implemented by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency where responsibility for providing water quality recommendations, approving State-adopted standards for interstate waters, evaluating adherence to the standards, and overseeing enforcement of standards compliance, has been mandated by Congress. Standards, a nationwide strategy for surface water quality management, contain three major elements: the use (recreation, drinking water, fish and wildlife propagation, industrial, or agricultural) to be made of the navigable water; criteria to protect these uses; and an antidegradation statement to protect existing high quality waters, from degradation by the addition of pollutants. Water quality criteria (numerical or narrative specifications) for physical, chemical, temperature, and biological constituents are stated in the July 1976 U. S. Environmental Protection Agency publication Quality Criteria for Water (QCW), available from the Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. The 1976 QCW, commonly referred to as the "Red Book," is the most current compilation of scientific information used by the Agency as a basis for assessing water quality. This publication is subject to periodic updating and revisions in light of new scientific and technical information. This digest summarizes fifteen pesticides which are usually incorporated into State Water Quality Standards and for which EPA has recommended criteria in the 1976 Quality Criteria for Water. These pesticides are: Aldrin/dieldrin, chlordane, chlorophenoxy herbicides, DDT, demeton, endosulfan, endrin, guthion, heptachlor, lindane, malathion, methoxychlor, mirex, parathion, and toxaphene. All of these chemicals are man-made for the control of insects, fungus and other plant and animal diseases or disease vectors. The presence of any of these substances in national waters are a result of an intrusion from non-point sources associated with agricultural or forestry application and point source production facility effluents. To control the presence of aldrin/dieldrin, DDT (DDD and DDE), endrin and toxaphene in water, EPA promulgated effluent standards for manufacturers of these pesticides (40 CFR 129). All of these substances exert detrimental effects on aquatic and animal life; some are suspected mutagens or carcinogens. For these reasons EPA recommended the following ambient water quality criteria for each compound: aldrin/dieldrin 0.003 ug/1 for freshwater and marine aquatic life. The persistence, bioaccumulation potential, and carcino- genicity of aldrin/dieldrin caution human exposure to a minimum. ------- chlordane chlorophenoxy herbicides DDT demeton endosulfan endrin guthion heptachlor lindane malathion methoxychlor mirex parathion toxaphene 0.01 ug/1 for freshwater aquatic life 0.004 ug/1 for marine aquatic life. The persistence, bioaccumulation potential, and carcino- genicity of chlordane caution human exposure to a minimum. 2,4-D 100 ug/1 for domestic water supply (health). 2,4,5-TP 10 ugA for domestic water supply (health). 0.001 ug/1 for freshwater and marine aquatic life. The persistence, bioaccummulation potential, and carcinogenicity of DDT caution human exposure to a minimum. 0.1 ug/1 for freshwater and marine aquatic life. 0.003 ug/1 for freshwater aquatic life 0.001 ug/1 for marine aquatic life. 0.2 ug/1 for domestic water supply (health). 0.004 ug/1 for freshwater and marine aquatic life. 0.01 ug/1 for freshwater and marine aquatic life. 0.001 ug/1 for freshwater and marine aquatic life. The persistence, bioaccumulation potential and carcino- genicity of heptachlor caution human exposure to a minimum. 4.0 ug/1 for domestic water supply (health). 0.01 ug/1 for freshwater aquatic life. 0.004 ug/1 for marine aquatic life. 0.1 ug/1 for freshwater and marine aquatic life. 100 ug/1 for domestic water supply (health). 0.03 ug/1 for freshwater and marine aquatic life. 0.001 ug/1 for freshwater and marine aquatic life. 0.04 ug/1 for freshwater and marine aquatic life. 5 ug/1 for domestic water supply (health). 0.005 ug/1 for freshwater and marine aquatic life. Since water quality standards experience revisions and upgrading from time to time, following procedures set forth in the Clean Water Act, individual entries in this digest may be superseded. As these revisions are accomplished and allowing for the States to revise their standards accordingly, this digest will be updated and reissued. Because this publication is not intended for use other than as a general information resource, to obtain the latest information and for special purposes and applications, the reader needs to refer to the current approved water quality standards. These can be obtained from the State water pollution control agencies or the EPA or Regional Offices.

Where the concentration based on the LC50 data exceed the following maximum numerical limits, the numerical limits shall constitute the criteria: Designated Stream Use All waters All waters All waters All waters All waters All waters All waters All waters All waters Domestic water supply Domestic water supply Domestic water supply Domestic water supply Domestic water supply Domestic water supply All -36- ------- State Criteria values in mg/1 Designated Stream Use Guam (a) Organochlorides; (con't) 0.1 ug/1 Aldrin .002 ug/1 DDT .006 ug/1 TDE .005 ug/1 Dieldrin .04 ug/1 Chlordane .003 ug/1 Endosulfan .002 ug/1 Endrin .01 ug/1 Heptachlor .02 ug/1 Lindane .005 ug/1 Methoxychlor .01 ug/1 Toxaphene The total concentration of all organo- chlorides shall not exceed .04 ug/L (b) Organophos phates: .001 ug/1 Azinphosmethyl .1 ug/1 Ciodrin .001 ug/1 Coumaphos .002 ug/1 Diazinon .001 ug/1 Dichlorovos .08 ug/1 Dioxathion .05 ug/1 Disulfonton .001 ug/1 Dursban .02 ug/1 Ethion .06 ug/1 EPN .005 ug/1 Fenthion .008 ug/1 Malathion -37- ------- State Criteria values in mg/1 Designated Stream Use Guam .002 ug/1 Mevinphos (con't) .008 ug/1 Naled .3 ug/1 Oxydemeton Methyl .03 ug/1 Phosphamidon .0001 ug/1 Parathion .3 ug/1 TEPP .002 ug/1 Trichlorophon The total concentration of all organopho- sphates shall not exceed .3 ug/1 (c) Car bam ate s; .02ug/lCarbaryl .1 ug/1 Zectran The total concentration of carbamates shall not exceed .02 ugA- (d) Herbicides, fungicides, and defoliants; 300 ug/1 Aminotriazole 110 ug/1 Dalapon 200 ug/1 Dicamba 37 ug/1 Dichlobenil .7 ug/1 Dichlone .5 ug/1 Diquat 1.5 ug/1 Diuron 4 ug/1 2,4-D(BEE) 2 ugA 2,4,5-T 45 ug/1 Fenac (sodium salt) 2.0 ug/1 Silvex (BEE) 2.0 ug/1 Silvex (PGBE) -38- ------- State Criteria values in mg/1 Designated Stream Use Guam 10 ug/1 Silvex (potassium salt) (con't) The total concentration of all herbicides, fungicides and defoliants shall not exceed 300 ug/1.

DDT concentrations in any sample con- sisting of a homogenate of 25 or more fish of any species shall be no greater than 50 ug/kg of the wet weight. 3.
