Table 2.7       Guidelines for Establishment of Action and Limit Levels proposed in the Work Procedure

Parameter (unit)

Action

Limit

Dissolved Oxygen (mg/L)

(surface, middle, bottom)

Surface and middle

80% of upstream control station at the same tide of the same day

 

Bottom

80% of upstream control station at the same tide of the same day

Surface and middle

4 mg/L except 5mg/L for FCZ

 

 

 

Bottom

2 mg/L

SS (mg/L)

(depth average)

120% of upstream control station’s SS at the same tide of the same day

130% of SS readings at the upstream control station at the same tide of same day and specific sensitive receiver water quality requirements

Turbidity (NTU)

(depth average)

120 % of upstream control station’s turbidity at the same tide of the same day

130% of turbidity at the upstream control station at the same tide of same day

Notes:

1.       “Depth-average” is calculated by taking the arithmetic means of reading of all three depths.

2.       For DO, non-compliance of the water quality limit occurs when monitoring result is lower than the limit.

3.       For SS and turbidity, non-compliance of the water quality limits occur when monitoring result is higher than the limits.
