threshold refers to the amount of hydrogen chloride used).  This amount can be calculated as a factor of volume and concentration;
          (b) the thresholds for 'Total Nitrogen' and 'Total Phosphorus' refer only to the amounts of those Nitrogen and Phosphorus compounds that give rise to nitrate/nitrite and phosphate ions respectively and, for transfers, the thresholds of 'Total Nitrogen' and 'Total Phosphorus' refer only to the amounts of soluble compounds of Nitrogen and Phosphorus that are in materials that readily permit the dissolution of these substances;
          (c) the threshold for 'Ammonia (total)' refers to the total amount of both ammonia (NH3 CAS number 7664-41-7) and the ammonium ion (NH4+) in solution;
 (d) the threshold for 'Chlorine & compounds' includes the amount of chlorine compounds used which may produce emissions of chlorine gas (Cl2), free residual chlorine, hypochlorite ion (OCl-), hypochlorous acid (HOCl) or chloramines;
 (e) the thresholds for category 1 or category 1b substances that are listed as '(a metal) & compounds' refer to the total amount of the metal and its compounds used (for example, 'Lead & compounds' refer to Lead and all compounds which incorporate Lead).

    2. For the purposes of estimating emission and mandatory transfer data to be reported under clause 9 of the Measure:
          (a) the amount of a category 1 acid emitted refers to the amount of the actual acid compound emitted or transferred (for example, in the case of 'Hydrochloric acid', the amount emitted or transferred refers to the amount of hydrogen chloride emitted).  It does not include any amounts of the acid that have been neutralised before release as the acid no longer exists;
          (b) the amounts of 'Total Nitrogen' and 'Total Phosphorus' emitted or transferred refer to the amounts of those nitrogen and phosphorus compounds emitted or transferred that give rise to nitrate/nitrite and phosphate ions respectively and, for transfers, the amounts of 'Total Nitrogen' and 'Total Phosphorus' transferred refer only to the amounts of soluble compounds of nitrogen and phosphorus that are in materials that readily permit the dissolution of these substances;
          (c) the amount of 'Ammonia (total)' emitted or transferred refers to the total amount of both ammonia (NH3 CAS number 7664-41-7) and the ammonium ion (NH4+) emitted or transferred in solution;
 (d) the amount of 'Chlorine & compounds' emitted or transferred refers to the total amount of chlorine gas (Cl2), free residual chlorine, hypochlorite ion (OCl-), hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and chloramines emitted or transferred, expressed as the equivalent weight of chlorine (Cl);
 (e) the amount emitted or transferred in relation to a substance listed as '(a metal) & compounds' refers only to the amount of the metal emitted or transferred (for example, the amount of 'Lead & compounds' emitted refers
