Further
Analysis:
The Decatur Sanitary District met the permit required minimum detection level (MDL)
for Cadmium, with
. My cone
not detected
in 19
of the
twenty samples. The one sample that it was detected was
ium total result. This was most likely a laboratory
error. y conclusion is that no
o monitoring
beyond
the
routine

Nickel and Zinc Limits
Interim Report on Effluent and Stream Sampling
December 2007
The reissued NPDES permit for the Sanitary District of Decatur effective July 1, 2007
contains new limits for nickel and zinc and a two-year compliance schedule for meeting
the limits. Special Condition 18 requires that an interim report covering “effluent and
stream sampling to date, and what measures are necessary to comply with final nickel
and zinc limitations” be submitted to Illinois EPA by January 1, 2008. A summary of
information gathered and activities to date is provided below.
Translator Study
A twelve-week translator study was completed between August and October 2007 as
outlined in Special Condition 17 of the NPDES permit. This period of time coincided
with seasonal low flows, and 2007 Sangamon River flows (especially August – October)
were generally below historical averages based on USGS data.
A complete report of the translator study is attached.
Hardness Sampling
The hardness used by Illinois EPA for calculating the nickel and zinc limits was 242
mg/L according to the permit engineer’s review notes. A summary of hardness data from

Sangamon River sampling between March and October 2007 is included in the translator
study report.
Plant Influent and Effluent Sampling
Nickel and zinc have been included in quarterly plant influent and effluent sampling for
many years. During 2007, effluent sampling frequency increased to twice weekly as part
of the translator study. Ongoing influent and effluent sampling for nickel and zinc is
planned to continue at a frequency of twice monthly.
A summary of influent and effluent values is shown below. Review of past data shows
that the plant discharge would not be able to consistently meet the limits currently
contained in the District’s permit.

Industrial Source Sampling
Analyses for metals including nickel and zinc have been performed semi-annually as part
of the District’s industrial pretreatment program. Sampling of the major industries and
other industries discharging metals will be increased to at least quarterly in 2008.
Receiving Stream Sampling
Upstream and downstream sampling at the locations described in the translator study will
be continued at a twice monthly frequency to provide a more complete picture of nickel
and zinc in the Sangamon River.
Chronic WET Testing
Chronic toxicity tests were conducted in July and September 2007. An additional chronic
toxicity test using EDTA to chelate metals in the samples is planned for December 2007.
Planned Activities
Continuing meetings are planned with industrial users regarding potential reduction of
metals in their discharges. As part of these discussions, an analysis is being conducted of
local pretreatment limits that would be required to comply with nickel and zinc permit
limits. Preliminary discussions have been held with our two largest industrial users, and
meetings with their management personnel are being scheduled to occur in early January
2008. District personnel will continue to work closely with both of these users as well as
smaller dischargers of nickel and zinc tributary to the treatment plant to determine what
reductions are possible.
In addition, review of information that could potentially support a site-specific standard is
ongoing. At the suggestion of Illinois EPA and U.S. EPA, guidance for determining a
Water Effect Ratio and whether that process might be applicable to this situation is being
reviewed. Information on the biotic ligand model is also being reviewed to determine its
potential usefulness. District personnel intend to work closely with Illinois EPA and U.S.
EPA Region 5 if the decision is made decide to pursue either of these options.
Compliance Plan
Based on current information, the measures necessary to comply with final nickel and
zinc limitations will include a combination of the following:
1. Recalculation of NPDES permit limits based on the results of the translator study
and low flow hardness analyses. The following limits are proposed calculated as
shown in the study report:

3. Ongoing review and analysis of technical information that would be needed to
support a site-specific water quality standard.
The next interim report will be submitted by July 1, 2008 as required by our NPDES
permit.

this section was performed with the
contaminate sampling apparatus
or sample bottles.
3. An equipment blank was done periodically with
the actual equipment used for the
sampling
equipment BEFORE the environmental samples
were collected. This blank served
to verify equipment
and sampling protocol cleanliness.
4. Each person
handling sampling apparatus or sample bottles wore
new disposable sampling
gloves at each
location. In the field, only one person handled sample
bottles, and that person
touched nothing else
while collecting or transferring samples.
S. For a composite at the
SDD
FE, the
sampler placed a specially cleaned sample

started the sampler on Tuesday and Thursday
mornings.
A chain of custody form was started at that time, to
be completed the following morning at
the
time of sample collection. On Wednesday and Friday
mornings, the sampler capped the
bottles
and took them to the laboratory. Laboratory personnel
filtered a portion of the

Laboratory personnel also cleaned the composite
sample bottles to
prepare them
for the next sample day. Laboratory personnel also
took portions of the FE

lowered
the pitcher into the water of the stream at a spot
deep enough to allow the bottle to
submerge completely
without reaching the bottom. Care was taken
not
to
disturb sediment
on the bottom
of the river. The sampler then pulled up the sample and
took the
to the side where it would not contaminate
or roil the water in the
ed the sample bottle for transportation to the laboratory.
When filling the
sample bottles,
V2 to I inch of air space was left at the top.
9. The sampler
placed the capped sample bottle into a clean cooler.
10. A duplicate
sample was collected in the same way as the original sample
or a stream
site at least once per week. All bottles were properly
marked with the locations
they came
from.
11. A field blank was
collected by filling the sample jug with D1 clean water and
then pouring
off the DI water
as if .it was a stream or effluent sample. A field blank was
taken at a random
location and day
of the week once per week.
12. Samplers filled out a river run
form while collecting samples and returned all samples
to the
SDD laboratory as soon as possible
after collection. Samples were logged in at the

laboratory and
custody was transferred to laboratory
personnel. Lab personnel then filtered a
portion of
the sample for dissolved metals analyses
and preserved the total recoverable and
dissolved metals samples appropriately.
Lab personnel completed the rest of
the

until Friday morning each week.
Each Friday morning, samples
were packed up
in a cooler and covered with ice and sent
to the appropriate contract

er downstream from the Lake Decatur darn. This segment of
the river has

efs flow
at
0 low-flow conditions. The permit required a minimum
12
week study of
dissolved
total metals concentration for samples taken of the district
effluent and the Sangamon
River downstream of the plant after complete mixing. We
decided to perform a longer study
both high flow and low flow conditions. We
also sampled from the Sangamon River
plant and Steven's
Creek which empties into the Sangamon River just
downstream
of the plant
discharge. This would help increase our understanding of the
overall
situation. Metals
results
during
high flow conditions would enable us to see if any
water
quality standards were being violated downstream during
this
period.
Metals results for low flow
conditions would be used to calculate the translator and
evaluate
the
hardness value used for the
water quality standards calculation for the district effluent
since this
concern. All data obtained during this study is attached
as an appendix in an excel spreadsheet
format.

Subject:
Zinc and Nickel
Tim,
I looked at the
Decatur December 20, 2007
report for zinc and nickel. Based
on our procedures,
the Agency uses
the tenth percentile hardness
during the tenth percentile
low flows. In this case, we used
the tenth percentile
hardness for
the low flow period August
2, 2007 through November
1, 2007 which resulted in a critical
hardness
of 359
mg/L. The Agency also
used all of the translator data
(excluding data when both
the dissolved and total
were below the detection
level) that was available.
This resulted in a translator
for zinc of 0.848 and
a translator
for
nickel of 0.966. Permit limits
would result in:
Zinc monthly
average = 0.0637/0.848 =
0.075 mg/L
Zinc daily maximum = 0.3529/0.848
= 0.416 mg/L
Nickel monthly average =
0.0147/0.966 = 0.015 mg/
If you have any ques
Scott
o
r would like to schedule a meeting, please
let me know.
