the concentration limits in the existing NPDES permit, which are commonly 20 mg/L<br />

and 30 mg/L, respectively.<br />

The total coli<strong>for</strong>m limit is based on the Title 22 criteria <strong>for</strong> a secondary-23 recycled<br />

water and assumes a use of the water that does not contact humans. The remainder of<br />

the constituents listed are those used in treatment technology selection and sizing of<br />

equipment/processes <strong>for</strong> removal of residual colloidal/dissolved solids and trace<br />

constituents. The concentrations listed reflect the variability in the source waters in<br />

Minnesota. In general, Minnesota has hard water with high salt concentrations. These<br />

concentrations increase with domestic practices, particularly home softening units.<br />

Average (Source A) and Hard (Source B) water quality types are assumed <strong>for</strong> cost<br />

analyses.<br />
