Abstract
Using the Biotic Ligand Model, Water Effect Ratio, and Translator for Site-Specific Copper Criteria to Update Effluent Limits at a Wastewater Treatment PlantUsing EPA guidance, a study of copper in the Weber River showed that effluent limits for copper at a municipal wastewater treatment plant could be revised upward. A copper translator of 0.53 was derived, and site specific acute and chronic criteria for copper were derived based on the biotic ligand model (BLM) and the water effect ratios (WER). However, the WERs would result in adjusted criteria...Author(s)Scott TobiasonPhil HeckSharonne ParkKaren TobiasonSourceProceedings of the Water Environment FederationSubjectSession 93 - NPDES Permit Compliance Options for Metals: Striving for EconomyDocument typeConference PaperPublisherWater Environment FederationPrint publication date Jan, 2009ISSN1938-6478SICI1938-6478(20090101)2009:9L.6325;1-DOI10.2175/193864709793956914Volume / Issue2009 / 9Content sourceWEFTECFirst / last page(s)6325 - 6344Copyright2009Word count161Subject keywordsWastewaterCopperBiotic Ligand ModelWater Effect RatioTranslatorCriteria
