Hi Amanda,

Thank you for sending me this information. Our units a re incorrect, as we have everything in mg/L not ug/L. We will correct or data

to match your units. I also think that the 0.01 ug/L silver should be mg/L so we will make that correction as well.

I will let you know if we have any further questions, thank y ou for verifying this data for us!

This is what I show when I query my database. I would guess that the .01 for Silver should be mg/L as .01 μg/L is probably not a

detectable amount.

I show that the flow you have is correct.

limitations guidelines" or "effluent guidelines," that limit the discharge of pollutants to waters of the U.S. from various c ategories ofNeed to return call by / at/between and

. Signature: industrial facilities. EP A is currently conducting its 2015 annual review of existing effluent guidelines and potential industrial

guidelines which may need to be included (see http://www.epa.gov/guide/304m/ for further information). EPA will discuss this review

and the results in its 2015 Effluent Guidelines Program Plan scheduled for publication in the Federal Register sometime in 20 15 or

2016. As part of the 2015 annual review, EPA is evaluating the data in discharge monitoring repo rts from 2013 and needs further

information to complete the review.

following values were discharged:
