VOLATILE ORGANIC CHEMICAL REDUCTION
This system has met the testing requirements of Standard 53, Section 5.1.1 for the
reduction of chloroform, which is the surrogate for the foliowing chemicals

'Influent levels are the 95th percentile, cxxurrence levels are per Federal Register, Vol. 50, No. 219, November 13,1965, p 46917.
^Since the 95th percentile occurrence levels were too low and thus were not pertinent for testing these chemicals against their MCL’s,
a reasonable level was selected for surrogate testing as shown.
^EPA Primary Maximum Contaminant Levels
^Maximum effluent concentrations set at the practical quantitation level (POL) which is less than the MCL.
^In the absence of officially stated occurrence levels and MCL’s, the surrogate influents were selected to provide a reasonable test.
