1 Changes to 40 CFR Part 136 Tables and Table F ootnotes 04 April 2012 A number of changes have been made to the Tables and associated footnotes in 40 CFR Part 136.3(a) between the proposal and the final rule. These changes are typographical error s, corrections or clarifications , and are listed below . In addition, the Office of the Federal Register requested that all of the references in Part 136.3(b) be reformatted per their incorporation by reference requirements, which then required a revision of the footnotes. Reformatting changes made for this purpose are not noted here. Be cause the method availability information can be found in Part 136.3(b), that redundant information has been deleted from the footnotes in Tables IA, IB, IC, ID, IG and IH . A similar change will be made for Tables IE and IF in future rulemakings when changes to these tables are made. Lastly, all EPA methods can be found at our website http://water.epa.gov/scitech/methods/cwa/index.cfm . Table IA Line 4, Coliform (total), in presence of chlorine, number per 100 mL ; MF 2 with enrichment . Footnote 5 regarding the use of MPN methods for chlorinated wastewaters added. A typographical error deleted this footnote in previous rulemakings. Line 5, E. coli , number per 100 mL 21 ; MF 2 ,6,7,8 , single step. Footnote 5 regarding the use of MPN methods for chlorinated wastewaters was deleted because the footnote is not relevant to unchlorinated matrices. Correction. T able IB A number of Standard Methods lacked specifics about which letter was associated with the method, for example 3113

– 2004 should have been 3113 B - 2004. This occurs in multiple lines throughout the table , all of which have been corrected. Correction and clarification. Line 8, Beryllium

– Total, 4 mg/L; Colorimetric (aluminon) . Previously Standard Method 3500 - Be D was listed in the Standard Methods column for this parameter. However, the listing should have been for 3500 - Be without the "D" since that does not exist. The current Standard Methods method for this para meter is in footnote 61. See next item regarding footnote 61 . T ypographical error. Line 8, Beryllium

– Total, 4 mg/L; Colorimetric (aluminon). The reference to footnote 61 was moved from the " other" column to the Standard Methods column, since it refers to Standard Methods 3500 - Be. Typographical error. Line 26, G old

– Total, 4 mg/L ; AA furnace . EPA method version corrected from "EPA Method 231.2 (Rev 1978) 1 " to "EPA Method 231.2 (Issued 1978) 1 ". " Revision " should have been " I ssued ," typographical error. Line 27, Hardness

– Total, (as N), mg /L; Semi - automated block digestor colorimetric (distillation not required). Standard Methods method number corrected from 4500 - Norg D 1997 to 4500N org D - 1997. "Org" should have been subscript, t ypographical error. Line 35, Mercury

– Total 4 , mg/L ; Cold vap or, Automated . EPA Method availability corrected from "EPA Method 245.2 (Issued 1974) " to "EPA Method 245.2 (Issued 1974) 1 ". The method is not found in the EPA documents listed in footnote 52, which addresse s the entire column of EPA methods. R ather , the method is available in the EPA document listed in footnote 1 . Added correct footnote for method , typographical error. Line 35, Mercury

– Total 4 , mg/L ; ICP/AES and ICP/MS. These proposed methodologies were deleted because the detection limit was too hig h. Correction. Line 38, Nitrate (as N), mg/L ; Colorimetric (Brucine sulfate). EPA method correct ed from "352.1 1 " to "352.1 (Issued 1971) 1 ". Issue date added, typographical error. Line 42, Organic carbon
