ABSTRACT
As part of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the U.S.
EPA has promulgated regulations for the owners/operators of facilities which
treat hazardous wastes by incineration to ensure that these incinerators are
operated in an environmentally responsible manner. Compliance with the per-
formance standards specified in the regulations is demonstrated by conducting
a trial burn, which involves measurement of particulate emissions, hydrochloric
acid emissions, and Destruction and Removal Efficiency (DRE) for the Principal
Organic Hazardous Constituents (POHCs) of the waste. During subsequent routine
operating burns, carbon monoxide is the only chemical species for which effluent
concentrations are monitored. It might be desirable to supplement this measure
of overall combustion efficiency with an organic monitoring technique that could
provide a more direct measure of POHC emissions and, thus, of DRE. If such
a task could be conducted in a technically and economically feasible manner, it
would improve the confidence level that intermittent release of hazardous mater-
ials was not occurring during routine operation of an incinerator.
The objective of this field program was to evaluate the reliability of non-
methane hydrocarbon analyzers as a continuous indicator of DRE of a hazardous
waste incinerator. The tasks undertaken include: (l) fabrication of a sample extrac-
tion/conditioning system for transfer of combustion gas to the hydrocarbon analy-
zers; (2) evaluation of the reliability of two non-methane hydrocarbon analyzers
under conditions of continuous operation at a hazardous waste incinerator; and (3)
determination of the correlation of non-methane hydrocarbon concentrations with
combustion efficiency.
During a 5-day test, two non-methane hydrocarbon analyzers (Columbia
Scientific Industries Corporation Model 500-2E and HNU Systems, Inc. Model
201-250) were evaluated. During the tests, the sample conditioning/analysis
system operated reasonable well.
The non-methane hydrocarbon concentrations measured by the CSI and HNU
analyzers were observed to be about 20% of the total hydrocarbon analyzer con-
centration. The ratio of non-methane hydrocarbon concentrations observed by the
CSI and HNU analyzers was observed to be about 1:1; i.e. , the analyzers respond
about equally to the non-methane hydrocarbons present.
A linear correlation between the non-methane hydrocarbon concentrations
and carbon monoxide concentration was not observed. Specifically, over the
range of operating conditions and combustion efficiency observed in this field
study, the non-methane hydrocarbon appears to be independent of carbon mon-
oxide concentration.

INTRODUCTION
The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA sec. 3(g)) directs EPA to reregister all pesticides as
expeditiously as possible.
To carry out t'his task, EPA has established the Registra-
tion Standards program, which will review all pesticide products
containing active ingredients first registered before January 1,
1977. Pesticides will be reviewed In use clusters which have
been ranked to give earliest review to pesticides used on food
and feed crops.
The Registration Standards program involves a thorough
review of the aclentific data base underlying pesticide regis-
trations and an identification of essential but missing studies
which may not have been required when the product was initially
registered or studies that are now considered insufficient.
EPA's reassessment results In the development of a regulatory
position, contained in a Registration Standard, on each pesticide
and its uses. The Agency may require the registrant to modify
product labels to provide additional precautionary statements,
restrict the use of the pesticide to certified applicators,
provide reentry intervals, modify uses or formulation types,
specify certain packaging limitations, or other requirements to
assure that proper use of the pesticide will not result In adverse
effects on the environment.
In this General Registration Standard EPA has Implemented
a simplified procedure for registering new products or re-
registering old products which contain sodium hypochlorite or
calcium hypochlorite as a single active ingredient and only
those inert Ingredients which are generally present as part of
the manufacturing process, or as specified in this standard.
Based on an evaluation of all the acute toxiclty data available,
the Agency is convinced that the majority of the several thousand
registered products meeting these specifications should be labeled
. for Toxicity Category l£/ -due to their known potential for causing
irreversible damage to eyes. Hence, all such products may be
registered or reregistered under this standard using one of the
standard labels contained in Appendix IV-5 (page 90) of this
document. This procedure is designed to reduce processing time
and costs to the Agency and registrants, while continuing to
assure human and environmental protection.
Toxicity Categories range from IV to I, with I representing the
highest level of toxicity and/or irritability (40 FR 28279).
Products which can result in any eye Irritation that is ir-
reversible within 21 days possess Toxicity Category I eye
irritation potential. Such products must use DANGER as their
signal word on the label. Such products must also be marketed
in child-resistant packaging if used in the home environment
(46 FR 15105).
-------
All applicants for registration of new products and
current registrants whose products conform to the formula
specifications contained in this standard, as discussed in
Chapter I(E) beginning on page 8, may register or reregister
their products under the general registration procedures.
Those who qualify under the Formulator's Exemption^/ may do
so by completing the certification form, Appendix I-A, (page
63). Those who do not qualify under the formulator's exemption
may also register or reregister their products using the
general registration procedures, provided they complete and
sign the combined certification and "cite-all" method of support,
Appendix I-B, on page 64. Based upon this certification, the
Agency will assign a General Registration Number which has a
unique company prefix followed by a number common to each
formulation type, and will notify the registrant when his
product has been registered or reregistered.
No data are required :u be submitted to support general
registrations because all of the data necessary to support
registration for the products covered under this standard
have been submitted and reviewed. See Appendix II-2 on page
57 for data citations. Specific data requirements are itemized
In the data tables on pages 24-37 for the sole use of those
applicants or registrants who choose to generate their own
data Instead of using the general registration procedures to
register or reregister their products.
While the general registration procedures are designed to
process the majority of single active sodium or calcium hypo-
chlorite manufacturing-use and end-use products, the Agency Is
aware that there may be a few products which are labeled for
Toxicity Category II, III, or IV or for which the applicant or
registrant wishes to propose such categories. Additionally,
registrants whose products are not eligible for the Formulator's
Exemption aay wish to develop their own supporting data rather
than rely upon and offer to pay compensation for the data
supporting registration of the affected products under this
standard. These registrants'are not eligible to use the
simplified general registration procedures, and therefore
their products must be registered or reregistered subject to
the data requirements discussed in Chapter II, Requirement for
Submission of Generic Data, and Chapter III, Requirement for
Submission of Product Specific Data.

I/
The formulator's exemption applies to a registrant of a
product if the source of his active ingreditut(s): (1)
a registered product and (2) is purchased from a source
which does not have ownership in common with the registrant's
firm.
-2-
-------
There are a few registered products which, contain sodium or
calcium hypochlorite as a single active ingredient, but also contain
intentionally added inert ingredients such as detergents, soaps,
abrasives, and solid or liquid diluents other than water. These
products do not meet the specifications of this standard, as
described in Chapter I(E) beginning on page 8, and all have been
registered with product specific chemistry and acute toxicity
data, establishing their appropriate toxicity categories. They are
not subject to reregistration under this standard. The Agency
estimates that this group of products comprises no more than
5% of all single active sodium and/or calcium hypochlorite
products. Applicants for registration of new products containing
intentionally added inert ingredients will continue to be
registered according to conventional registration procedures.
The Agency is confident that the general standard approach
will streamline the registration/rereglstration process, and
strongly encourages registrants and applicants for registration of
products which conform to the specifications in this document to
use this streamlined process. In an effort to maintain flexibility
however, applicants will be permitted the option of registering
new Toxicity Category I products and reregister current Toxicity
Category I products either by the new streamlined process or by
the conventional registration process. Registrants of current
products that conform to the specifications described In this
standard (i.e. contain only sodium or calcium hypochlorite with
no Intentionally added inert ingredients) but which are labeled
as Toxicity Category II, III, or IV, must either supply the product
specific data specified in Table C to substantiate the toxicity
category claimed for their products, or change their labeling to
that specified for Toxicity Category I, per Section 162.10 of 40 CFR.
Registrants who change their labeling to Toxicity Category I may
reregister their products by either the general registration •
or the conventional registration process if they are otherwise
in compliance. Registrants of current products who wish to
maintain other than Toxicity Category I labeling must be
reregistered using the conventional reg.is t ration/reregist ration
process and cannot use the general registration process.
If you decide to request the Agency to cancel the registration
of any of your products subject to the requirements of this Guidance
Document, please noti.fy the Product Manager named in the cover
letter, within 90 days from the receipt of this document. If you
decide to maintain your product registration(s), you must provide
the information described In the following pages within the
time frames specified. EPA will issue a notice of intent to cancel
or suspend the registration of any currently registered product
which does not comply with the requirements set forth in this
Guidance Document.
You are reminded that FIFRA sec. 6(a)(2) requires you to
submit any factual information which raises concerns of possible
unreasonable adverse effects of a pesticide if such information
comes to your attention. You should notify the Agency of interim
results of studies in progress if these results show possible
adverse effects.

I.
REGULATORY ASSESSMENT
A . In t TO due11 on
This chapter presents the Agency's regulatory position
and rationale based on an evaluation of all registered products
containing sodium or calcium hypdchlorite as the sole active
ingredien t.
The products subject to the requirements of this standard
include a) liquid, sole active Ingredient, sodium hypochlorite
products with water as the only intentionally added inert in-
gredient, and b) solid, sole active ingredient, calcium hypochlorite
products, provided that their formulations are consistent with
those defined in Section (E) beginning on page 8 of this standard,
and be in child-resistant packaging if the products are recommended
for use in or around the home. This standard provides three
options to applicants who wish to register or reregister sodium and
calcium hypochlorite products* These options are described below.
Option I. Reliance on Available Data to Support Registration of
Toxicity Category I Products
Applicants for registration or reregistration will make use
of existing data available for support of registration/reregistration
of produces labeled for Toxicity Category 1 and if not eligible
for .the Fornulator's Exemption, compensate data developers for
use of this data. Applicants will also adopt the generic labeling
provided in Appendix IV-5. Registrations for Option 1 will be
issued under the -general registration process.
Option II. Development of Data Independently to Support
Registration of Toxicity Category I Products
Applicants for registration or reregistration who are not
eligible for the Fornulator's Exemption and who wish to develop
their own data rather than rely upon and pay compensation for the
data cited under this standard must submit the data requried in
Table A and Table B, if the product is for manufacturing-use, or
Table C, if the product is for end-use. Applicants will also
adopt the generic labeling provided in appendix IV-5, on page 90
of this standard. Registrations for Option II will only be
considered and be issued under the conventional registration/
reregistration process*
-4-
-------
product-specif1c data to support labeling
c a tego r i es II, III, and IV
There may be a few registrants who qualify for the formulator's
exemption and therefore are not subject to the generic data
requirements, but who nevertheless wish to develop data to support
labeling for lower toxicity categories, or to support an exemption
from the child-resistant packaging require -ent. Such applicants must
submit the product specific data required under Table C (pages 35-37)
Applicants who are not eligible for the Formulator's Exemption
but who wish to register their products under toxicity category
labeling II, III, or IV must submit both sets of data, generic data
(Table A, page 24) and product specific data (Table B or C pages
32-34 and 35-37). Applicants will not be able to adopt the generic
labeling, as it was developed for Toxicity Category I labeling and
will have to develop data commensurate to the toxicity category
proposed for their product. Registrations for Option III will only
be considered and be issued under the conventional registration/re-
registration process.
B. Description of Chemicals
Sodiua and calcium hypochlorites are chlorinated
inorganic disinfectants. Sodium hypochlorite is normally sold
only as a liquid while calcium hypochlorite la principally sold
as a solid, powder, granular, or tablet. Products containing 5
to 6 percent sodium hypochlorites are commonly known as household
bleach; and Chose containing up to 12.SZ _!_/, the maximum registra-
ble strength, are known as industrial strength sodium hypochlorite.
The Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry number
for sodium hypochlorite is 7681-52-9 and Its EPA Chemical Code
number is 014703. For calcium hypochlorite the respective numbers
are 7778-54-3 (CAS) and 014701.
Sodium and calcium hypochlorites arc registered as
and disinfectants of surfaces, as disinfectants of water
chemicals to control microorganisms on certain foodt; and
industrial processes. For a detailed listing of the use
covered by this standard refer to Section (E)(3) on- page
chapter.

14 of this
Based on
other relevant
the Agency has
a review of the available scientific data and
information on the sodium and calcium hypochlorites,
made the following determinations:
1. Applicability of the General Registration Process
0 The use patterns and hazards are generally con-
sistent among products and are well understood by
both producers and users.
_!_/ The Agency does not register sodium hypochlorite products
with label declaration higher than 12.52 because these
products loose their strength rapidly and significantly
if manufactured at higher concentrations.
-5-
-------
o There is sufficient information to classify most
single-active-ingredient sodium and calcium
hypochlorite products as general use products.
o The time and resources required for a product-by-
product: review would not afford additional public
health protection commensurate wittf the additional
time and resources required over the general
registration approach for products in Group 1.
o Based on the above findings, general registration
certifications will be accepted for all applicants
seeking to market sodium or calcium hypochlorite
as sole active ingredient pesticide products in
Group 1 •
2. Registration Status
o Products formulated and labeled in accordance with
this standard will have a composition that warrants
the proposed claims.
o Products formulated and labeled in accordance with
this standard, when used in accordance with widespread
. and commonly recognized practice, will not generally
cause unreasonable adverse effects on the environment.
3. Other Findings
o After reviewing the. human hazard da'ta for sodium and
calcium hypochlorite, the Agency has determined that
child-resistant packaging (44 PR 13109) is required
for all end-use products for which Category I eye
irritation toxicity labeling is appropriate, if
labeled for use in' the home environment.
Rationale
After a review of the available product chemistry and
toxicity data, the Agency has determined that all sodium and
calcium hypochlorite single active ingredien.t products are eye
irritants, but that the potential for hazard from use of these
products may be mitigated with appropriate precautionary labeling
Manufacturing-use sodium hypochlorlce and calcium
hypochlorite products are defined by this standard as 12.52
and 65Z respectively. Therefore, product chemistry and
acute toxicity data developed with these formulations by the
manufacturers will also support end-use products of the same
concentration and can be extrapolated to support end-use
concentrations of sodium hypochlorite down to 5.25Z, since
as defined by this standard, they are simply aqueous dilutions
of the 12.5Z manufacturing-use product, and the extra water
does not alter the precautionary labeling prescribed by this
standard .
-6-
-------
Based on a review of the available product chemistry,
toxicity, environmental fate, and ecological effects data
on sodium and calcium hypocnlorites, the Agency has deter-
mined that any hazards associated with the uses of sodium
and calcium hypochlorite are relatively small, when these
chemicals are used in accordance with the label directions
set forth in the sample labels found in Appendix IV-5,
(page 90) of this standard.
The Agency has determined that the available acute
toxicity data and fish and wildlife data are sufficient
to address the acute toxicity risks to humans and the
environment, and has concluded that there is no need for
chronic or subchronic data to continue registering sodium
and calcium hypochlorite products for the registered uses.
The most important use of the hypochlorites is for
treating water supplies, for which they have been used
for almost a century. To date the most significant
concern is that the hypochlorites have been associated
vlth the formation of trihalomethanes in drinking water,
which in turn have been Inconclusively Implicated with
chronic adverse effects. The Office of Drinking Water
of EPA has addressed this risk by setting a maximum
contaminant level (MCL) for the trihalomethanes in drinking
water at 100 parts per billion (equivalent to 100 mlcrograms
per liter). The approved levels of the hypochlorites in
drinking water ranges from 0.2 to 1.0 part per trillion.
The Agency believes that this level Is consistent In
reducing the dietary exposure to hypochlorites, and in turn,
to make It possible for water supplies to maintain the
levels of trlhalomethanes within regulatory limits.
The hypochlorites are the most widely used chemicals
for disinfecting water supplies as they have proven to be
safe, practical to use, and economical. The hypochlorites
are listed as generally recognized as safe for use as post
harvest fungicides on agricultural commodities at 40 CFR
$180.2. They are also listed as sanitizers, for use as
terminal sanitizing rinses of food handling utensils at
21 CFR $178.1010.
Given these considerations, the Agency believes that
in the absence of significant long term dietary exposure
to the hypjchlorites , there is no need for chronic or
subchronic studies. If it comes to the attention of the
Agency that hazards due to long term dietary exposure may
be significant, then long term studies will be required.
The Agency has decided not to perform a full ecological
effects hazard assessment of the currently accepted uses thau
result in point source discharges of effluents treated with sodium
and calcium hypochlorites. This decision is based on the premise
that facilities which discharge large quantities of treated
-7-
-------
effluent will, in all likelihood, be required to obtain a National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Such
permits are tailored to a specific site or point of discharge and
are usually required in situations which could result in large
and prolonged effects on the environment. Small discharges, by
contrast, normally do not require NPDES permits because their
effects are usually localized and transitory in nature.
Finally, the Agency has determined that the required
hazard labeling, specified in this standard, is sufficient to
minimize the likelihood of significant discharges of effluents
containing sodium and calcium hypochlor1te.
A.I environmental fate data requirements for the
hypochlorlte salts have been fulfilled by the document, "Ambient
Water Quality Criteria for Chlorine" (Tobler et al., MRID
GS029026), published by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Agency has decided to continue Its current policy
of exempting single active sodium and calcium hypochlorite
formulations from the product-by-product efficacy data requrlement
normally levied on santizers and disinfectants. The Agency has
concluded that the published literature data can reasonably be
extrapolated to the full range of these products.
D« Criteria for Registration Under this.. Standard
To be registered under this standard, products must contain
either sodium hypochlorlte or calcium hypochlorlte as the .sole
active Ingredient, and must conform to the product composition,
acute toxlclty limits, use pattern requirements, and the required
labeling prescribed In various sections of this standard.
Applicants of products affected by .this standard must
comply with all terms and conditions described In it, including
submission of an application for pesticide registration and a
general registration/reregistratlon certification.
Applicants who wish to propose Toxicity Category II, III or
IV labeling for their products or who wish to develop their own
supporting data rather than rely on or offer to pay compensation
for the data cited in this standard must satisfy the labeling,
packaging, and data requirements, as specified in Table A, B, or C,
in accordance with the guidance package.
E. Acceptable Ranges and Limits
1. Product Composition Standard
a. Liquid Formulations
The vast majority of registered liquid formula-
tions consist of products with approved labels
declaring 12.52, 10.02, 9.22, or 5.252 sodium
hypochlorite as the sole active ingredient.

for the bulk of the finished product. The formulations specified in
this standard do not permit the addition of deliberately added
inert ingredients.

Because of the Inherent Instability of liquid formulations
of sodium hypochloride, manufacturers of a liquid hypochlorite
product are permitted to overformulate their products up to 25
percent above the label declaration. Overformulation will assure
that the concentration of active Ingredient (A.I.), as declared
on the label, will be present in the product for a reasonable
period of time after manufacture. Therefore, as indicated above,
products which declare 12.5 percent A.I., the maximum allowable
label declaration for liquid hypochlorite products, may contain
an absolute upper limit of 15.6 percent A.I. In the product. To
calculate the upper and lower limits the active Ingredient for
your product use the following formula:
2 A.I. declared on label x 1.25 » A.I. Upper Limit in the product
2 A.I. delcared on label - A.I. Lower Limit in the product
EXAMPLE: The ABC Chemical Corporation has a registered product
with a label declaration of 10 percent A.I. The
product must contain between '10.0 and 12.5 percent

b. Solid Formulations
The vast majority of registered solid products
are granulars, powders, or tablets with approved
labels declaring 65% or 70% calcium hypochlorite.
Consistent with generally established manufacturing
practice this material is prepared by reacting
commercially available chlorine gas (99.9% purity)
with an aqueous suspension of lime to yield 65%
to 70% calcium hypochlorite, which is then dried
to remove water and soluble impurities. The remaining
impurities are those which are generally present as
part of the manufacturing process, with no deliberately
added inert ingredients; except in the case of tablets
which may contain nold release agents as specified in
this standard.
Lime used in these formulations must have impurity
concentrations lower than those listed below.

as specified in Chapters II and/or III of this
document.
Acute Toxicity Limits
a. Toxicity Category I Products
Products labeled for Toxicity Category I, based
on eye irritation potential, will be acceptable
under a general registration certification.
b. Other Products
The Agency recognizes that there may be a few
products which fall in Toxicity Category II, III,
or IV based on data developed with the particular
products in question. Additionally many products
have b2ea registered in the past which meet the
formula specifications described in this standard,
but which were nevertheless registered with pre-
cautionary l&beling other than Toxicity Category I,
in the absence of any supporting acute toxicity
data, or with data that do not meet current require
ments.
Based on the information reviewed to date, the
Agency has determined that products which claim
lesser eye irritation potential must be judged
individually, using data developed for the actual
formulated products. All applicants currently
claiming an eye irritation potential other than
that designated in Toxicity Category I must either
(1) change their labeling to the Category I label-
ing specified in Appendix IV-5, on page 90 of this
standard and be subject to the provisions of this
standard or (2) submit the data specified in the
tables following Chapter III of this document and
be considered for registration or reregistration
under this standard on a product-by-product basis,
in accordance with conventional registration pro-
cedures .

Under this standard, the Agency will permit marketing of
manufacturing-use only products labeled for formulation into
end-use products for any of the above uses. A manufacturing-use
products may not be marketed as an end-use product.
F. Required Labeling
All sodium or calcium hypochlorite products subject to
this standard must bear appropriate labeling as specified in the
general labeling requirements of Section 162.10 of 40 CFR. For
more details on these requirements see Section IV and Appendix
IV-1 of this standard. The following specific requirements apply
to the products eligible for reglstratlon/rereglstratlon under
the general registration process.
Appendix IV-5 provides standard labels for all existing
formulations of sodium or calcium hypochlorites as sole active
Ingredients. Applicants must customize the standard labels for
registration number, establishment number, product name, type
size, container disposal statement, and use directions as
specif led 'In this document.
Bulletins, leaflets, circulars, brochures, data sheets,
flyers, and other graphic printed matter distributed in connec-
tion with the product are termed supplemental labeling. If
supplemental use directions are contained In this material such
labeling must be referenced on the product label and also must
be consistent with this general standard.
Finally, applicants should note that while the standard
specifies the statements that must appear on the label, it
does .not forbid the Inclusion of nonpesticidally related text
on the label. Applicants are only prohibited from placing any
other pestlcidally related language on the label without prior
Agency review and approval (through the process of amending the
standard - See Section V). If claims appear on the label as
nonpestlcidal claims and are found by the Agency to be
-15-
-------
pesticidally related, they are subject to the enforcement
provisions of FIFRA. The inclusion of pesticidally related
language on the label which has not been reviewed and approved
by the Agency is a deviation from the stipulated language of
the standard and may subject the registrant to the misbranding
provisions of the FIFRA (section 12(a) (1 ) (E )). For the purposes
of this section, pesticidally related language means all state-
ments, designs, or graphic representations relative to the
products' use as a pesticide. The term also applies to any
statements, designs, or graphic representations concerning the
safety of the product or its ingredients whether or not these
claims are related to Its pestlcidal use.
1. EPA Registration Number
The regiscratlon number assigned to the pesticide product
muse appear on the label. The registration number must not
appear in such a manner as to suggest or imply recommendation
or endorsement of the product by the Agency*
The registration numbers assigned to produces registered
under this General Registration Standard will differ from those
assigned to other registered products. The registration number
usually consists of a unique company number followed by a unique
product number. Under this General Registration Standard, the
company number will still be a unique number, but the product
number will be assigned to a particular standard label. Thus,
all companies using the same standard label will have the -same
product number. Only the company number and establishment number
will vary. For existing products, the registrant should refer to
the current EPA Registration Number on any submissions until the
product is. reregistered and until the new registration number is
assigned in accordance with the standard label to be used.
2. EPA Establishment Number
The EPA establishment: number, preceded by the phrase
"EPA Eat." is the final isr-blishment at which the product was
produced, and may appear in any suitable location on the label, or
immediate container. It must also appear on the wrapper or
ou-tside container of the package if the EFA establishment number
on the immediate container cannot be clearly read through such
wrapper or container.
If the applicant does not have an EPA Establishment
Number, he must obtain an establishment number by completing EPA
Form No. 3540-8, "Establishment Registration Form" and sending
this form to the appropriate EPA Regional Office. Refer to
appendix V-l for a list of EPA Regional Offices and their addresses
-16-
-------
3. Product N a me
The top center panel of the standard labels is reserved
for the product name. A product Is misbranded If "It is an
imitation of , or is offered for sale under the name of another
pesticide" FIFRA 2(q)(l)(C). In this context, use of the word
"chlorine" alone or in combination with other wording in the name
or label text to describe products other than liquified chlorine
gas is misbranding of a product and a violation of section 2(q)(l)(A)
FIFRA, as amended, and section 162. 10(a) (5 ) (vii) of the regulations.
All labels with such wording must be corrected in accordance with
the timetable for submission of labels specified in this standard.
The following examples are considered acceptable alterna-
tives :
UNACCEPTABLE
Dry Chlorine
Liquid Chlorine
Dry Granular Chlorine
Chlorine Tablets
ACCEPTABLE
Dry Chlorinating (Chemical, Compound,
or Product)
Liquid Chlorinating (Chemical, Compound,
or Product)
Dry Granular Chlorinating (Chemical,
Powder or Product)
Chlorinating Tablets
Any product failing to satisfy the above requirements within the
timetables established in this standard (see Section V) will be
considered misbranded and subject to enforcement proceedings.
4. Storage and Disposal Statements
All labels are required to bear storage and disposal
statements. These statements are developed for specific
containers, sizes, and chemical content. These instructions
must be grouped and appear under the heading STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
in the directions for use. This heading must be set in the same
type size as required for the child hazard warning. Registrants
should note that minor modifications of the following statements
are permitted to tailor the statement to a particular type of
container used by the manufacturer*.
Manufacturers are required to use the storage and disposal
statements of the standard labels in this standard for all solid
and liquid products, except as specified below.
-17-
-------
ManufacCuring-Use Products
Manufacturers of hypochlorite manufacturing-use
products who register under this standard must include the
following statements on their labels, under the heading STORAGE
AND DISPOSAL.
Store this product in a cool dry area, away from
direct sunlight and heat to avoid deterioration.
In case of spill, flood areas with large quantities
of vater. Product or rinsates that cannot be used
should be diluted with water before disposal in a
sanitary sewer. Do not contaminate food or feed
by storage, disposal or cleaning of equipment.
Large metal containers should be rinsed thoroughly
with water and returned to manufacturer for recondi-
tioning or discarded In an approved landfill. Large
storage containers should be thoroughly washed with
water before reuse.
End-Use Products
The following statements are appropriate for all liquid
end-use products containing sodium hypochlorite registered under
this standard.
Store this product in a cool dry area, away from
direct sunlight and heat to avoid deterioration.
In case of spill, flood areas with large quantities
of vater. Product or rinsates that cannot be used
should be diluted with water before disposal in a
sanitary sewer. Do not contaminate food or feed
by storage, disposal or cleaning of equipment.
Manufacturers jf liquid hypochlorite end-use products
must include the following statements on their label, under the
heading of STORAGE AND DISPOSAL. Modifications of this statement
are permitted to tailor this statement to a particular type of
container used by the manufacturer.
Rinse empty container thoroughly with water and
either return to manufacturer or discard by
placing this container in trash collection or
burying in an approved landfill.
-18-
-------
5. Use Directions
The standard labels presented in Appendix IV-5 specify the
full range of use directions currently accepted for the formula-
tions described in this standard. Applicants may delete, but not
not add, whole uses from these labels.
Applicants seeking to market products for new uses must
apply for registration according to the procedures outlined in
Section V. New uses cannot be incorporated into a label until
notification that the change is acceptable and the standard has
been amended by the Agency.
The standard labels represent the currently registered
range of actual percentages of active ingredient. The ranges
of active ingredient are specified in a list in Section I(D).
The use directions in the directions of the standard labels are
specific for 12.5Z sodium hypochlorite and 65Z calcium hypo-
chlorite, the highest concentrations covered by this standard.
To facillate the conversion of these labels to the 10Z, 9.2Z,
and the 5.25Z concentrations of sodium hypochlorite also covered
by this standard, a dilution conversion chart has been provided
as part of Appendix IV-5. Registrants with products containing
containing other percentages of active ingredients than those
specified in this standard nay apply for registration. If their
products fall within the specification of this standard in all
other respects, the Agency will register such products under
this standard and amend the standard accordingly. If they do
not otherwise meet these specifications, such products will be
registered under the conventional registration procedures.
Registrants with products containing different concentrations
of A.I. must adjust the dosages in accordance with the following
formula:
OZ. OF PRODUCT - ppm avail, chlorine x * gal, water x 128 oz./gal
Z A.I. x 10,000
EXAMPLE: 128 oz. - 500 x 100 x 128
5.00 x 10,000

G, Tolerance Reassessment -Summary
An exemption /rom the requirement for a tolerance was
established (40 CFR x80.1054) for residues of calcium hypochlorite
which may occur in or on raw agricultural commodity potatoes
resulting from the use of washing solutions containing calcium
hypochlorite. After reexamining the exemption from the requirement
for a tolerance, the Agency has determined that the exemption is
still appropriate under current scientific standards.
canneries, breweries,
Food processing plants, dairies,
wineries, beverage bottling plants and eating establishments use
hypochlorites for sanitizing premises and for disinfecting
equipment and utensils. A incidental food additive regulation
allowing the use of sodium or calcium hypochlorites as a terminal
santizlng rinse on food processing equipment has been established
(21 CFR 178.1010). A food additive regulation permitting the
use of sodium hypochlorites in washing or assisting in lye peeling
of fruits and vegetables has been established (21 CFR 173.315)
by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The provisions of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA) (40 CFR Fart 180 require the establishment of a tolerance
for exemption from the need for a tolerance) for the use of
calcium hypochlorite on mushroom pins (preharvest), sweet potatoes
(postharvest ) , pimento seeds, tomato seeds, pecans (posth&rvest ) ,
fish fillets. EPA plans to propose to issue an exemption from the
requirements of a tolerance for these uses.
The provisions of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic
Act (21 CFR 173 Subpart D - Specific Usage Additives) require
the establishment of a food additive regulation for calcium hypo-
chlorite in sugar syrup and raw sugar. Applicants whose product
labeling contains such uses must either obtain a food additive
regulation for the uses from the Food and Drug Administration
within 12 months from the date of issuance of this standard or
delete the claims from the labeling.

II. REQUIREMENT FOR SUBMISSION OF GENERIC DATA
A. As stated in section I, Regulatory Assessment, products
which are eligible for general registration are not required to
submit generic data. This section applies only to those applicants
who wish to develop their own supporting data rather than rely upon
and offer to pay compensation for the data cited in this standard.
The Agency has determined that the generic data described
in Table A must be submitted to EPA for evaluation in order to
maintain the registration(s) of your product(s).
EPA may suspend the registration of each of those products
unless, within the specified time, you have informed EPA how
you will satisfy these requirements. Any such suspension will
remain in effect until you have complied with the terms of
this Notice.
B. What Generic Pat'A/ Must be Submitted. You may deter-
mine which generic data you must submit by consulting Table A
at the end of this chapter. That table lists the generic
data needed to evaluate the continued registrability of all
products, and the dates by which the data must be submitted.
The required studies must be conducted in accordance with
EPA approved protocols (such as those contained in the Pesticide
Assessment Guidelines 2/ or data collected under the approved
protocols of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD). If you do not wish to develop data
in support of certain uses appearing in your labeling', you
may delete those uses at the time you submit your revised
labeling.
For certain kinds of testing (generally ecological
effects) , EPA requires the test substance to be a "typical
formulation," and in those cases EPA needs data of that type
I/ Generic data pertain to the properties or effects of a
particular ingredient, and thus are relevant to an evaluation of
the risks of all products containing that ingredient, regardless
of the product's unique composition or specific use. Product-
specific data relate only to the properties or effects of" a
product with a particular composition (or a group of products
with closely similar composition).
£/ The Pesticide Assessment Guidelines are available in hard
copy or microfiche from the National Technical Information
Service, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, Va. 22161.
-21-
-------
for each major formulation category (e.g., emulsif lable concen-
trates, wettable powders, granulars, etc.) These are classified
as generic data and when needed are specified in Table A.
EPA may possess data on certain "typical formulations" but
noc others. Note: "Typical formulation" data should not be
confused with product-specific data (Table B) which are
required on each formulation. Product-specific data are
further explained in Chapter III of this document.
C. Options Available for Complying With Requirements
to Submi t Data
Within 90 days of your receipt of this Notice you must
submit to EPA a completed copy of the form entitled "FIFRA
Section 3(c)(2)(B) Summary Sheet" [EPA Form 8580-1, Appendix
II-3] for each of your products. On that form you must state
which of the following method* you will use to comply with
the requirements of this Notice:
1. (a) Notify EPA that you will submit the data, and
(b) either submit Che existing data you believe will
satisfy the requirement, or state that you will generate
the data by conducting testing. If the test procedures
you will use deviate from (or are not, specified In) the
Pesticide Assessment Guidelines or protocols contained In
the Reports of Expert Groups to the Chemicals Group,
. Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD) Chemicals Testing Programme, you must enclose the
protocols you will use*
OR
2. Notify EPA that you have entered into an agreement
with one or more other registrants to jointly develop (or
share in the cost of developing) the data. If you elect
this option, you must notify EPA which registrant(s) are
parties to the agreement.
OR
3. File with EPA a completed "Certification of Attempt to
Enter Into an Agr'eement With Other Registrants for Develop-
ment of Data" (EPA Form 8580-6, Appendix II-4)*_/
V FIFRA sec. 3(c)(2)(B) authorizes joint development of
data by two or more registrants, and provides a mechanism by
which parties can obtain an arbitrator's decision if they agree
to jointly develop data but fail to agree on all the terms of
the agreement. The statute does not compel any registrant to
agree to develop data jointly.
(Footnote continued on next page)
-22-
-------
OR
4. Request that EPA amend your registration by deleting
the uses for which the data are needed. (This option is
not available to applicants for new products.)
OR
5. Request voluntary cancellation of the reglstration(s )
of your products for which the data are needed. (This option
is not available to applicants for new products.)
D. Procedures for Requesting Changes in Testing Methodology
and Extensions of Time
EPA recognizes that you nay disagree with our conclusions
regarding the appropriate ways to develop the required data
or how quickly the data must be submitted. If the test
procedures you plan to use deviate from (or are not specified
In) the registration guidelines or protocols contained in
the reports of the Expert Groups to the Chemical Groups,
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)
Chemicals Testing Programme, you .must submit the protocol
for Agency review and acceptance prior to the initiation of
the test.
If you think that you will need more time to generate the
required data, you must submit a written time extentlon request
to the Office of Compliance Monitoring. The extentlon request
should state the reasons why you believe that an extention Is
to meet the deadline for submitting the required data.
(Footnote continued from previous page)
In EPA's opinion, joint data development by all regis-
trants subject to a data requirement or a cost-sharing agreement
among all such registrants is clearly in the public interest.
Duplication of testing could increase costs, tie up testing
facilities, and subject an unnecessarily large number of
animals to testing.
As. noted earlier, EPA has discretion to suspend the
registration of a product when a registrant fails to submit data
required under FIFRA Section 3(c)(2)(B). EPA has concluded that
it should encourage joint testing rather than duplicative
testing, and that suspension should be withheld in certain cases.
to further this goal. Accordingly, if (1) a registrant has
informed us of his Intent to develop and submit data required
by this Notice; and (2) a second registrant informs EPA that
it has made a bona fide offer to the first registrant to share
in the expenses of the testing [on terms to be agreed upon
or determined by arbitration under FIFRA Section 3(c ) (2 ) (B ) (ill ) ] ;
and (3) the first registrant has declined to agree to enter
into a cost-sharing agreement, EPA will not suspend the
second firm's registration.

Ill. REQUIREMENT FOR SUBMISSION OF PRODUCT-SPECIFIC DATA
Note: As stated in Section I, Regulatory Assessment,
products which are eligible for general registration are not
required to submit product specific data. This section applies
only to those aplipants who wish to develop their own supporting
data rather than rely upon and offer to pay compensation for the
data cited in the standard and to those applicants who wish to
propose a lower toxicity category of II, III, or IV for their
proaucts .
A necessary first step in determining which statements
must appear on your product's label is the completion and
submission to EPA of product-specific data* listed on the
form entitled "Product Specific Data Report" (EPA Form
8580-4, Appendix III-l) to fill gaps identified by EPA
concerning your product. Under the authority of FIFRA sec.
3(c)(2)(B), EPA has determined that you must submit these
data to EPA in order to reregister your product(s). All of
these data must be submitted in accordance with the time frames
specified In the data tables.
Table B, Product Specific Data Requirements for Manufacturing-Use
Products, and Table C,
End-Use Products, list

Product Specific Data Requirements for
the product specific data you must submit
to be submitted are Identified In the
entitled "Must Data Be Submitted
IV. SUBMISSION OF REVISED LABELING
Note; This section applies both to manufacturing-use and end-use
p.roducts to the extent described In Section I, Regulatory Assessment
FIFRA requires each product to be labeled with accurate,
complete and sufficient Instructions and- precautions , reflecting
the results.of data concerning the product and its ingredients.
Labeling requirements are set out in 40 CFR 162.10 (see
Appendix IV-1) and are summarized for products containing
this active ingredient as part of this Guidance Document
(See Appendix IV-2). Applications submitted in response to
this notice must include draft labeling for Agency review.
^_l Product specific data pertain to data that support the
formulation which is marketed; it usually includes product
chemistry data and acute toxicity data.
-41-

If you fail to submit revised labeling information
complying with this section (supplemented by requirements
described in Section I, Regulatory Position and Rationale),
EPA may issue a notice of intent to cancel the registration
under FIFRA sec. 6(b)(l).

of non-flammability.
________________ Products which
the criteria for non-flammability specified
above may bear the notation "non-flammable" or "non-
flammable (gas, liquid, etc.)" on the label. It may
appear as a substatement to the ingredients statement,
or on a back or side panel, but shall not be highlighted
or emphasized (as with an Inordinately large type
size) in any way that may detract from precaution.
4. Other physical/chemical hazard statements. When
chemistry data demonstrate hazards of a physical or
chemical nature other than flammability, appropriate
statements of hazard will be prescribed. Such statements
may address hazards of explosivity, oxidizing or reducing
capability, or mixing with other substances to produce
toxic fumes.
Item 9. MISUSE STATEMENT - All products must bear the
misuse statement, "It is a vio-latlon of Federal law to use
this product In a manner inconsistent with its labeling."
This statement appears at the beginning of the directions
for use, directly beneath the heading of that section.
Item 10. REENTRY STATEMENT - If a reentry interval
has been established by the Agency, it must be included on
the label. Additional worker protection statements may be
required in accordance with PR Notice 83-2, March 29, 1983.
Item IDA. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL BLOCK - All labels are
required Co bear storage and disposal statements. These
statements are developed for specific containers, sizes, and
chemical content. These instructions must be grouped and
appear under the heading "Storage and Disposal" in the directions
for use. This heading must be set in the same type sizes as
required for the child hazard warning. Refer to Appendix
IV-4 to determine the disposal instructions appropriate for
your products.

E. AMENDMENTS TO THIS STANDARD
All new formulations outside currently accepted ranges
and limits and/or uses not specifically approved in
this standard must be approved by the Agency prior to
marketing. The procedure for seeking such approval is
by formal application to amend this standard. After
the standard is modified to expand the range of accepted
uses, registrants are permitted to market products
labeled for such uses under the revised standard subject
to any limitations specified in the amended standard.
Applicants will be notified directly when an amendment is
accepted.
Applications for amendments Co Che standard should be
submitted in the form of a letter to the Agency. The
letter should specify the part of the standard that
Is proposed for modification, proposed text for
modification and the Justification (including data, if
appropriate). The letter should be sent to the Product
Manager in the Registration Division at the address given
at the end of this Section.
When an amendment to the standard is accepted, all holders
of general registrations are free to modify existing
labels or initiate nev products In compliance with the
revisions without notifying the Agency, as provided in
their general registration, provided they comply with any
new requirements of the amended standard. Whenever an
amendment to the standard is granted on the basis of
potentially compensable data, all registrants seeking to
add the changes to their registrations will be required
to submit an amended certification. This amended
certification will confirm the appropriate offers-to-pay
have been made. When the Agency Initiates changes in
existing labeling or product composition limits, the
amendment will specify the terms and conditions of
the change, including the schedules for compliance.
As the standard is amended, registrants with registra-
tions under previous editions must comply with the
newer amendments Co the standard, in order to continue
to legally market their products.1 Compliance with an
amended standard, though, may require some action by
a registrant (e.g. submission of data, reprinting
of labels to remove a disallowed use) or no action at
all (e.g. when amendments permit optional new uses where
no compensation is involved). Each amendment to the
Standard will indicate the last date that existing
stocks of produces with old labeling nay be released
for shipment.

Appendix II-l
Guide to Use of This Bibliography
CONTENT OF BIBLIOGRAPHY. This bibliography contains
citations of all studies considered relevant by EPA in
arriving at the positions and conclusions stated elsewhere
in the Standard. Primary sources for studies in this
bibliography have been the body of data submitted to EPA
and its predecessor agencies in support of past regulatory
decisions. Selections from other sources including the
published literature, in those instances where they have
been considered, will be included.
UNITS OF ENTRY. The unit of entry in this bibliography
is called a "study." In the case of published materials,
this corresponds closely to an article. In the case of
unpublished materials submitted to the Agency, the Agency
has sought to identify documents at a level parallel to
the published article from within the typically larger
volumes in which they were submitted. The resulting
"studies" generally have a distinct title (or at least a
single subject), can stand alone for purposes of review,
and can be described with a conventional bibliographic
citation. The Agency has attempted also to unite basic
documents and commentaries .upon them, treating them as a
single study.
IDENTIFICATION OF ENTRIES. The entries in this bibliography
are sorted numerically by "Master Record Identifier," or
MRID,. number. This number is unique to the citation, and
should be used at any time specific reference is required.
It is not related to the six-digit "Accession Number"
which has been used to identify volumes of submitted
studies; see paragraph 4(d)(4) below for a further explana-
tion. In a few cas-s , entries addad to the bibliography
late in the review may be preceded by a nine-character
temporary identifier. These entries are listed after
all MRID entries. This temporary identifier number is
also to be used whenever specific reference is needed.
FORM OF ENTRY. In addition to the Master Record Identifier
(MRID), each entry consists of a citation containing
standard elements followed, in the case of material
submitted to EPA, by a description of the earliest known
submission. Bibliographic; conventions used reflect the
standards of the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI), expanded to provide for certain special needs.
-------
1 Appendix II-l (continued)
a. Author. Whenever the Agency could confidently identify
one, the Agency has chosen to show a personal author.
When no individual was identified, the Agency has
shown an identifiable laboratory or testing facility
as author. As a last resort, the Agency has shown
the first submitter as author.
b. Document Date. When the date appears as four digits
with no question marks, the Agency took it directly
from the document. When a four-digit date is followed
by a question mark, the bibliographer deduced the
date from evidence in the document. When the date
appears as (19??), the Agency was unable to determine
or estimate the date of the document.
c. Title. In some cases, it has been necessary for
Agency bibliographers to create or enhance a document
title. Any such editorial insertions are contained
between square brackets.
d. Trailing Parentheses. For studies submitted to the
Agency in the past, the trailing parentheses include
(in addition to any self-explanatory text) the fol-
lowing elements describing the earliest known submission:
(1) Submission Date. The date of the earliest known
submission appears immediately following the word
"received."
(2) Administrative Number. The next element,
immediately following the word "under," is the
registration number, experimental use permit
number, petition number, or other administrative
number associated with the earliest known submission.
(3) Submitter. The third element is the submitter,,
following the phrase "submitted by." When
authorship is defaulted to the submitter, this
element is omitted.
• •
(4) Volume Identification (Accession Numbers). The
final element' in the trailing parentheses
identifies the EPA accession number of the volume
in which the original submission of the study
appears. The six-digit accession number follows
the symbol "CDL," standing for "Company Data
Library." This accession number is in turn
followed by an alphabetic suffix which shows the
relative position of the study within the volume.
For example, within accession number 123456, the
first study would be 123456-A; the second, 123456-
B; the 26th, 123456-Z; and the 27th, 123456-AA.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS FOR PESTICIDES
Heading;
All products are required to bear specific label instructions
about storage and disposal. Storage and disposal instructions
must be grouped together in the directions for use portion of
the label under the heading STORAGE AND DISPOSAL. Products
intended solely for domestic use need not include the heading
"STORAGE AND DISPOSAL."
Storage Instructions;
All product labels are required to have appropriate storage
instructions. Specific storage instructions are not prescribed.
Each registrant nuist develop his own storage instructions,
considering, when applicable, the following factors:
1. Conditions of storage that might alter the composition or
usefulness of the pesticide. Examples could be temperature
extremes, excessive moisture or humidity, heat, sunlight,
friction, or contaminating substances or media.
2. Physical requirements of storage which might adversely
affect the container of the product and its ability to
continue to function properly. Requirements might include
positioning of the container in storage, storage or damage
due to stacking, penetration of moisture, and ability to
withstand shock or friction.
3. Specifications for handling the pesticide container,
including movement of container within the storage area,
proper opening and closing procedures (particularly for
opened containers), and measures to minimize exposure
while opening or closing container.
4. Instructions on what to do if the container is damaged in
any way, or if the pesticide is leaking or has been
spilled, and precautions to minimize exposure if' damage occurs,
5= General precautions concerning locked storage, storage in
original container only, and separation of pesticides
during storage to prevent cross-contamination of other
pesticides, fertilizer, food, and feed.
6. General storage instructions for household products should
emphasize storage in original container and placement in
locked storage areas.

Appendix IV-7
This appendix provides sample labels for all currently
acceptable pesticide products containing sodium or calcium
hypochlorite as the sole active ingredient.
All proucts must bear labeling consistent with these
standard labels in both content and format. The labels
must be customized by individual applicants as specified in
Section I(F), Section IV and Appendix IV-1 of this document.
It is very important to note that the use directions in
the standard labels have been tailored for 12.5% sodium
hypochlorite and 65.0% calcium hypochlorite and a dilution
conversion chart has been provided for 10.0%, 9.2%, and 5.25%
sodium hypochlorite. Products with a percent A.I. which differs
from these four values must calculate the correct dosage (see
Section I(F)(5)) to obtain the required parts per million
(ppm) of available chlorine.
The current list of standard labels for sodium or calcium
hypochlorite as sole active ingredients is presented in
Table 3 followed by all of the labels listed in the Table.
Applicants with products that fall within specifications
stated in Table 3 should go directly to the label at the
referenced page number.
Applicants are advised that the label directions which
follow Table 1 are generic in nature and are not intended
to list every specific registered site of these chemicals.
The label directions are written in this fashion because
many apparently dissimilar sites can be functionally
identified as part of a larger single group. For example,
a generic site such as non-porous hard surfaces includes a
multiplicity of specific surfaces (tile floors and walls,
sinks, toilet bowls, etc.) that fall under this generic
classification but are too numerous to list in a single
label (See Section I(E)(3)).
In the interests of flexibility, the Agency will permit
manufacturers to alter use directions to indicate the
specific surfaces that will be treated with their -product.
Thus, the applicant and registrant is permitted to alter
the use directions of the master standard labels in two
ways: (1) alter the dosages to allow for a product that
differs in concentration from the standard label and (2)
add specific surfaces to be treated. You should contact
the Product Manager if questions arise about the directions
for use.

The Agency has determined that these standard labels will accomodate approximately
95% of all single active sodium hypochlorite or solid calcium hypochlorite products
which have>been registered or which will be preposed for registration under the
general registration standard. Hence the few products which do not conform to the
formulations which correspond to the labels as specified in this standard, will be
registered or reregistered in accordance with conventional registration procedures.

SWIMMING POOL WATER DISINFECTION
For a new pool or spring start-up, superchlorinate with 52 to 104 oz. of product
for each 10,000 gallons of water to yield 5 to 10 ppm available chlorine by weight.
Check the level of available chlorine with a test kit. Adjust and maintain pool
water pH to between 7.2 to 7.6. Adjust and maintain the alkalinity of the pool to
between 50 to 100 ppm.
To maintain the pool, add manually or by a feeder device 11 oz. of this product
for each 10,000 gallons of water to yield an available chlorine residual
between 0.6 to 1.0 ppm by weight. Stabilized pools should maintain a residual
of 1.0 to 1.5 ppm available chlorine. Test the pH, available chlorine residual
and alkalinity of the water frequently with appropriate test kits. Frequency of
water treatment will depend upon tenperature and number of swimmers.
Every 7 days, or as necessary, superchlorinate the pool with 52 to 104 oz. of
product for each 10,000 gallons of water to yield 5 to 10 ppm available chlorine
by weight. Check the level of available chlorine with a test kit. Do not reenter
pool until the chlorine residual is between 1.0 to 3.0 ppm.
At the end of the swimming pool season or when water is to drained from the
pool, chlorine must be allowed to dissipate from treated pool water be-fore
discharge. Do not chlorinate the pool within 24 hours prior to discharge.
WINTERIZING POOLS - While water is still clear & clean , 'apply 3 oz. of product
per 1000 gallons, while filter is running, to obtain a 3 ppm available chlorine

SENAGE & WASTEWATER EFFLUENT TREATMENT
The disinfection of sewage effluent must be evaluated by determining the total
number of coliform bacteria and/or fecal coliform bacteria, as determined by
the Most Probable. Number (MPN) procedure, of the chlorinated effluent has been
reduced to or below the maximum permited by the controlling regulatory
jurisdiction.
On the average, satisfactroy disinfection of secondary wastewater effluent can
be obtained when the chlorine residual is 0.5 ppn after 15 minutes contact.
Although the chlorine residual is the critical critical factor in disinfection,
the importance of correlating chlorine residual with bacterial kill must be
emphasized. The MPN of the effluent, which is directly related to the water
quality standards requirements, should be the final and primary standard and
the chlorine residual should be considered an operating standard valid only to
the extent verified by the coliform quality of the effluent.
The following are critical factors affecting wastewater disinfection.
1. Mixing: it is imperative that the product and the wastewater be
instantaneously and ccmpletly flash mixed to assure reaction with
every chemically active soluble and participate component of the
wastewater.
2. Contacting: Upon flash mixing, the flow through the system must be
maintained.
3. Dosage/Residual Control: Successful disinfection is .extremely
dependent on response to fluctuating chlorine demand to maintain a
-99-
-------
predetermined, desirable chlorine level. Secondary effluent should
contain 0.2 to 1.0 ppn chlorine residual after a 15 to 30 minute
contact time. A reasonable average of residual chlorine is 0.5 ppn
after 15 minutes contact time.

SEWW3E & WASTEWATER EFFLUENT '..-jEATMENT
The disinfection of sewage effluent must be evaluated by determining the total
number of coliform bacteria and/or fecal coliform bacteria, as determined by
the Most probable Number (MPN) procedure, of the chlorinated effluent has been
reduced to or below the maximum permited by the controlling regulatory
jurisdiction.
On the average, satisfactroy disinfection of secondary wastewater effluent can
be obtained when the chlorine residual is 0.5 ppm after 15 minutes contact.
Although the chlorine residual is the critical critical factor in disinfection,
the importance of correlating chlorine residual with bacterial kill must be
emphasized. The MPN of the effluent, which is directly related to the water
quality standards requirements, should be the final and primary standard and
the chlorine residual should be considered an operating standard valid only to
the extent verified by the coliform quality of the effluent. " r
The following are critical factors affecting wastewater disinfection.
1. Mixing: It is imperative that the product and the wastewater be
instantaneously and ccmpletly flash mixed to assure reaction with
every chemically active soluble and particulate component of the
wastewater.
2. Contacting: Upon flash mixing, the flow through the system must be
maintained.
3. Dosage/Residual Control: Successful disinfection is extremely
dependent on response to fluctuating chlorine demand to maintain a
predetermined, desirable chlorine level. Secondary effluent should
-117-
-------
contain 0.2 to 1.0 ppn chlorine residual after a 15 to 30 minute
contact time. A reasonable average of residual chlorine is 0.5 ppn
after 15 minutes contact time.
