CO Th1ENT
The criteria listed above are for fresh waters, inland bays, and estuaries.
Criteria for freshwaters (water and fish consumption), bay and estuaries
(fish consumption onLy) were aaopted by the SWRCB on 4/11/91 and certified
by their Chief Counsel on 5/11.’91. The State has also adopted a criterion
for ocean waters of 0.0039 ppq based on a risk level of 10-6, a fish
consumption rate of 23 g/day, a cancer potency slope of 156,000, and a
bioconcentration factor of 5,000. These criteria were adopted on 5/11/90
The State uses the TEQ approach for both freshwaters and ocean waters. EPA
approved the freshuaters criteria on 11,’G,°l and the ocean waters critericn
on 6/28/90.

criterion for drinking water supplies was derived using EPA Section 304(a)
methods and current IRIS information. The water and fish criterion of
0 013 ppq only applies to certain basins. The water only criterion of 0.22
pq was adopted .n Colorado s oasic standards and applies State-wide. EPA

The criterion listed above is far marine/estuarine waters. The State has
also adopted a criterion for fresh waters of 0.016 ppq based on consumption
of fish and water and 0.017 ppq for fish consumption only. The assumed
fish consumption rate for fresh waters is 5.2 g/day. The median flow is
used as the design flow for writing permit 1.imits for human health

Illinois adopted a translator for derivation of human health criteria for
drinking water, recreational, and consumption of fish exposure routes on
1/31/90. The 10-6 risk level a;plies to individual carcinogens, but the
rules provide for additive total. risk for a given discharge of all
carcinogens present up to 10-S. The State uses the harmonic mean flow as
the design flow. EPA approved the translator on 2/6/90.

other exposure assumptions are not ava iLibL. at this time. This criterion
equates to EPA’s q idance at a risk level of I n 1L000. The 30Q10 flow
