PVC Production Process Wastewater Sampling and Analysis Data

Instructions

1. Complete the table below for each PVC process wastewater steam exiting a process wastewater treatment system that was sampled and analyzed. Complete one worksheet for each single stream (make copies of this worksheet if necessary).

2. Enter the PVC process wastewater treatment system ID for the stream that was sampled and analyzed. The ID must match the IDs listed in Table 2 of the "Stream Info" worksheet.

3. Complete columns 1 through 30. Enter the sample date, resin type, stream flow rate, basis for flow rate determination, stream temperature, sample type, analysis date, lab report ID, and lab sample ID. Enter the concentration results for each HAP listed.

4. Enter any other HAP expected to be present (that are not listed in Table 10 to Subpart HHHHHHH of Part 63) in the table below.

4. For compounds that were not detected, indicate as such in the "Non-Detect?" column and provide the method detection limit, in ppmw, in the "Concentration (ppmw)" column.

5. Enter any notes or additional information relevant to the sampling or analysis.
