Re:
:
Revisions
to
TWFs
for
Dioxin
and
its
Congeners
and
Recalculated
TWPEs
for
OCPSF
and
Petroleum
Refining
In
a
memorandum
dated
December
3,
2003
(
Zipf,
2003),
EPA
described
revisions
it
intends
to
make
in
its
Toxic
Weighting
Factor
(
TWFs)
methodology.
Revised
TWFs
were
not
available,
however,
in
time
to
use
them
broadly
in
EPA's
2004
annual
review
of
promulgated
effluent
guidelines
and
industrial
activities
not
regulated
by
existing
guidelines.
EPA
completed
the
revision
of
TWFs
for
dioxin
and
its
congeners
as
described
in
this
memorandum
in
July,
2004.
These
revisions
and
the
resulting
TWFs
are
presented
in
this
memorandum.
The
revised
TWFs
were
used
to
recalculate
the
toxicity­
weighted
dioxin
discharges
for
two
categories
for
which
EPA
conducted
detailed
reviews.
The
recalculated
toxic
weighted
pound
equivalents
(
TWPE)
for
these
two
categories,
Organic
Chemicals,
Plastics,
and
Synthetic
Fibers
(
OCPSF,
including
chloralkali
chlorine
manufacture)
and
Petroleum
Refining,
are
also
presented
in
this
memorandum.

Revisions
to
TWFs
for
Dioxin
and
its
Congeners
EAD
has
updated
the
TWFs
for
dioxin
and
its
congeners
to
be
consistent
with
EPA's
methodologies
and
policies.
As
noted
in
the
memorandum
to
the
record
dated
August
18,
2004
(
Zipf,
2004)
EPA
retained
the
use
of
the
1985
slope
factor
for
2,3,7,8­
tetrachlorodibenzo­
pdioxin
but
revised
the
slope
factors
for
other
congeners
using
the
1998
World
Health
Organization
Toxic
Equivalency
Factors
(
Van
den
Berg,
et
al.,
1998).
As
discussed
below,
EPA
has
further
revised
the
TWFs
for
dioxin
and
its
congeners
to
incorporate
congener
specific
Bioaccumulation
Factors
(
BAFs)
as
well
as
incorporating
the
updated
fish
consumption
intake
rate
in
the
2000
Methodology
for
Deriving
Human
Health
Criteria
(
U.
S.
EPA,
2000).

Revisions
to
Bioaccumulation
Factors
The
BAFs
in
Table
10
of
Great
Lakes
Water
Quality
Initiative
Technical
Support
Document
for
the
Procedure
to
Determine
Bioaccumulation
Factors
(
U.
S.
EPA,
1995)
are
lipid
normalized
and
Page
2
freely­
dissolved
based
BAFs,
also
known
as
"
Baseline
BAFs."
These
baseline
BAFs
were
developed
as
described
in
EPA's
Methodology
for
Deriving
Ambient
Water
Quality
Criteria
for
the
Protection
of
Human
Health
Technical
Support
Document
Volume
2:
Development
of
National
Bioaccumulation
Factors
(
EPA
2003).
This
process
of
lipid­
normalization
and
freely­
dissolved
adjustment
essentially
'
convert'
the
"
site­
specific"
BAFs
that
were
derived
from
Salmonids
in
the
Great
Lakes
that
have
specific
lipid
content
and
organic
carbon
content,
into
values
that
are
ready
to
extrapolate
to
other
conditions,
i.
e.
a
national
BAF.
To
do
this,
the
lipid
and
freely­
dissolved
parts
need
to
be
re­
adjusted
to
"
national"
values.

The
first
step
is
to
convert
the
BAFs
from
the
GLWQI
Bioaccumulation
TSD
to
"
Baseline
BAFs"
using
the
national
defaults
for
f

(
fraction
lipid)
and
f
fd
(
fraction
dissolved)
using
the
following
equation:

National
BAF
TL
n
=
[(
Final
Baseline
BAF)
TL
*
(
f

)
TL
n
+

*
f

where:

Final

TL
n
=

"

(
f

TL
n
=

that
is
lipid
in
aquatic
organisms
at
trophic
level
"
n"

f
fd
=
fraction
of
the
total
concentration
of
chemical
in
water
that
is
freely
dissolved
The
national
default
trophic
level­
specific
lipid
fractions
(
f

)
TL
n
[
where
f

=
fraction
lipid
at
trophic
level
(
TL)
"
n"]
are
the
following:

Trophic
Level
National
Default
Values
(
percentage)

2
1.9%

3
2.6%

4
3.0%

These
national
default
lipid
values
can
found
in
EPA
2003.

The
f
fd
(
fraction
freely
dissolved)
is
calculated
as
follows:

f
fd
=
1
1
+
POC
*
K
ow
+
DOC
*
0.08
*
K
ow
Page
3
where:

f
fd
=
fraction
of
the
total
concentration
of
chemical
in
water
that
is
freely
dissolved
POC
=
concentration
of
particulate
organic
carbon
in
water
(
kilograms
of
particulate
organic
carbon
per
liter
of
water)

DOC
=
concentration
of
dissolved
organic
carbon
in
water
(
kilograms
of
dissolved
organic
carbon
per
liter
of
water)

K
ow
=
n­
octanol­
water
partition
coefficient
The
national
default
values
for
POC
and
DOC
are
0.5
mg/
L
and
2.9
mg/
L
respectively.
The
derivation
of
these
values
is
explained
in
Section
6.3
of
EPA
2003.

For
example,
the
BAF
from
Table
10
in
EPA,
1995
for
2,3,7,8
TCDD
is
9.00e+
06
for
Trophic
Level
4
(
salmonids);
and
the
log
K
ow
is
7.02.
Given
these
two
parameters,
we
are
able
to
calculate
the
National
BAF
for
a
given
trophic
level.

The
first
step
would
be
to
calculate
the
fraction
of
the
total
concentration
of
2,3,7,8­
TCDD
which
is
freely
dissolved:

f
fd
=
1
1
+
POC
*
K
ow
+
DOC
*
0.08
*
K
ow
where:
POC
=
5.0
x10­
7
kg/
L
(
national
default
values)
DOC
=
2.9
x
10­
6
kg/
L
(
national
default
values)

Log
K
ow
=
7.02
Kow
=
107.02
=
10,471,285
so:
f
fd
=
1
1
+
5.0
x10­
7
kg/
L
*
1.05e+
07
+
2.9
x
10­
6
kg/
L
*
0.08
*
1.05e+
07
f
fd
=
0.11541
The
next
steps
is
to
insert
this
value
for
the
freely
dissolved
fraction
of
2,3,7,8­
TCDD
into
the
following
equation:

National
BAF
TL
n
=
[(
Final

(

To
incorporate
this
revised
BAF
into
the
TWF
methodology,
you
would
use
the
following
equation:

where:

HHOO

SF

BAF
=

factor
0.0175
kg/

rate
This
equation
incorporates
the
updated
fish
consumption
number
as
well
as
the
use
of
the
BAF
instead
of
the
BCF.
Both
of
these
revisions
have
been
used
in
the
development
of
the
2000
Methodology
for
Deriving
Human
Health
Criteria
(
EPA
2000).

The
toxic
weighting
factor
would
be
calculated
using
the
following
equation:

It
should
be
noted,
though,
that
this
procedure
does
not
follow
the
recommendations
in
EPA,
2000
precisely
because
Baseline
BAFs
for
2,3,7,8­
TCDD
are
not
available
for
trophic
level
2
&
3.
Therefore,
all
of
the
17.5
grams/
day
fish
consumption
was
apportioned
to
trophic
level
4
only.
Two
approaches
were
considered
for
deriving
the
overall
BAF.
One
approach
would
apportion
the
17.5
grams
of
fish
eaten
per
day
among
trophic
levels
4,
3,
and
2
as
described
in
the
2000
Methodology
for
Deriving
Human
Health
Criteria
(
EPA,
2000).
Data
on
U.
S.
consumers
of
fish
and
shellfish
indicate
significant
consumption
of
organisms
in
these
trophic
levels.
The
second
approach
would
apportion
all
fish
intake
to
trophic
level
4.
EPA
selected
the
latter
approach
based
on
the
availability
of
data
recognizing
that
either
of
the
approaches
is
suitable
for
this
screening
level
analysis.
EPA
notes
there
was
little
difference
between
the
values
derived
using
either
approach.

The
results
of
these
recalculations
are
presented
in
Table
1
at
the
end
of
this
memorandum.

Recalculation
of
TWPEs
for
OCPSF
and
Petroleum
Refining
Section
4.2
of
Technical
Support
Document
for
the
2004
Effluent
Guidelines
Program
Plan
(
EPA,
2004)
describes
how
EPA
estimated
pollutant
loadings,
including
its
use
of
TWFs
to
estimate
TWPEs.
Section
4.2.4.2
describes
how
TWPEs
were
calculated
for
dioxins
and
dioxin
like
compounds.
The
TWFs
presented
in
TSD
Table
4­
2
were
used
to
estimate
the
dioxin
TWPEs
presented
in
Sections
5,
6,
and
7
of
the
TSD.
These
dioxin
TWPEs
were
used
in
EPA's
2004
annual
review
of
promulgated
effluent
guidelines.

After
EPA
revised
the
TWFs
for
dioxin
and
its
congeners,
EPA
recalculated
the
TWPEs
for
the
OCPSF
and
Petroleum
Refining
Categories
and
recreated
the
tables
included
in
the
TSD
using
the
recalculated
TWPES.
These
revised
tables
are
attached
to
this
memorandum.
Attachment
A
contains
the
tables
for
OCPSF
and
Attachment
B
contains
the
tables
for
Petroleum
Refining.

These
updated
TWPE
estimates
do
not
change
EPA's
earlier
conclusions
regarding
revision
of
OCPSF
and
Petroleum
Refining
effluent
limitations
guidelines
and
standards.

For
OCPSF,
the
recalculated
TWPE
continue
to
demonstrate
that
dioxin
discharges
from
the
vinyl
chloride
and
chlor­
alkali
manufacturing
sectors
are
significant.

For
petroleum
refining,
while
these
tables
reflect
increased
dioxin
TWPE
estimates,
the
issue
Page
6
remains
that
for
refineries,
TWPE
estimates
are
based
on
dioxin
concentrations
close
to
the
analytical
minimum
level.
Further,
the
highest
estimated
TWPE
was
calculated
for
an
effluent
sampled
only
once,
with
all
detected
congener
concentrations
below
the
Method
1613b
minimum
level.
See
Section
7
of
the
TSD
(
EPA,
2004)
for
additional
discussion.

Recalculation
of
Dioxin
TWPEs
for
Other
Categories
EPA
notes
that
because
of
time
constraints,
it
only
recalculated
dioxin
TWPEs
for
the
OCPSF
and
Petroleum
Refining
categories.
In
future
planning
cycles,
EPA
will
use
its
revised
TWFs
to
calculate
all
dioxin
TWPEs.

Revisions
to
TWFs
for
Other
Pollutants
In
its
December
3,
2003
memorandum
(
Zipf,
2003),
EPA
described
revisions
it
intends
to
make
in
its
TWFs
methodology.
This
memo
proposes
the
same
revisions
for
all
chemicals
that
are
put
forth
here
for
dioxin
and
its
congeners.
The
methodological
revisions
detailed
in
the
December
3,
2003
memorandum
will
be
completed
for
as
many
chemicals
as
possible
in
the
next
planning
cycle.

Estimate
is

on
mass

calculations,
such
as
calculation
of

E
 
Estimate
is
based
on
published
emission
factors,
such
as
those
relating
release
quantity
to
through­
put
or
equipment
type
(
e.
g.,
air
emission
factors).
O
 
Estimate
is
based
on
other
approaches
such
as
engineering
calculations
(
e.
g.,
estimating
volatilization
using
published
mathematical
formulas)
or
best
engineering
judgment.
This
would
include
applying
an
estimated
removal
efficiency
to
a
treatment,
even
if
the
composition
of
the
waste
before
treatment
was
fully
identified
through
monitoring
data.

were
excluded
from

ranges
to
protect
confidential
business
information.
Also,
some
facilities
providing
flow
data
did
not
provide
analytical

and
visa
versa.
2To
calculate
TWPE,
for
concentrations
below

EPA
assumed
the

to
be
zero.
This
represents
the
minimum
