Footnotes
a. The
				  asbestos standard is 7 million fibers (longer than 10 micrometers) per
				  liter.
b. The aldrin/dieldrin
				  standard is exceeded when the sum of the two compounds exceeds 0.003
				  µg/L.
c. In lakes, the acute
				  criteria for hydrogen sulfide apply only to water samples taken from the
				  epilimnion, or the upper layer of a lake or reservoir.
d. Hardness, expressed as mg/L
				  CaCO3, is determined according to the following
				  criteria:
i. If the receiving water body has
				  an A&Wc or A&Ww designated use, then hardness is based on the hardness
				  of the receiving water body from a sample taken at the same time that the
				  sample for the metal is taken, except that the hardness may not exceed 400 mg/L
				  CaCO3.
ii.
				  If the receiving water has an A&Wedw or A&We designated use, then the
				  hardness is based on the hardness of the effluent from a sample taken at the
				  same time that the sample for the metal is taken, except that the hardness may
				  not exceed 400 mg/L CaCO3.
iii. The mathematical equations for the
				  hardness-dependent parameter represent the water quality standards. Examples of
				  criteria for the hardness-dependent parameters have been calculated and are
				  presented in separate tables at the end of Appendix A for the convenience of
				  the user.
