CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT, 1999

Guideline for the release of ammonia dissolved in water found in wastewater effluents

Whereas ammonia dissolved in water is a substance specified on the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999;

Whereas the Minister of the Environment published a Proposed Notice requiring the preparation and implementation of pollution prevention plans for ammonia dissolved in water, inorganic chloramines and chlorinated wastewater effluents in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on June 7, 2003;

Whereas persons were given the opportunity to file comments with respect to the Proposed Notice for a comment period of 60 days;

Whereas the Minister has considered all comments received;

Whereas this Guideline is issued as an instrument respecting preventive and control actions in relation to ammonia dissolved in water found in wastewater effluents in application of section 92 of the Act;

And whereas the Minister of the Environment has published a Notice requiring the preparation and implementation of pollution prevention plans for inorganic chloramines and chlorinated wastewater effluents;

Therefore, the Minister of the Environment, pursuant to subsection 54(1) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, has decided to issue a Guideline as a means to reduce the impact of releases of ammonia dissolved in water to surface water, and pursuant to subsection 54(4) directs that it be published in the Canada Gazette, Part I.

STÉPHANE DION
Minister of the Environment

1. Interpretation

"Act" means the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.

"acutely lethal concentration of ammonia" means a level of ammonia in an effluent at 100 percent concentration that kills more than 50 percent of the rainbow trout subjected to it over a 96-hour period when tested in accordance with the acute lethality test set out in Reference Method EPS 1/RM/13. For the purpose of this Guideline, this is represented by a concentration of ammonia that is on or above the curve when plotted versus the effluent pH as shown in Figure 1 of Appendix A. Owners must measure the pH and concentration of ammonia in the effluent and use the curve (Figure 1).

"ammonia" means total ammonia expressed as nitrogen. Total ammonia means the sum of the unionized ammonia (NH₃) and ionized ammonia (NH₄⁺) species which exist in equilibrium in water. Analytical methods measure and typically report on ammonia nitrogen as opposed to total ammonia.

"chronic toxicity" means the ability of a substance or mixture of substances to cause harmful effects over an extended period, usually upon repeated or continuous exposure sometimes lasting for the entire life of the exposed organism. For the purpose of this Guideline, chronic toxicity results in reduced reproductive capacity and reduced growth of young in fish and benthic invertebrate populations.

"effluent" means untreated or treated wastewater that is released from the outfall(s) of a wastewater system, excluding combined sewer overflows from the wastewater system.

"fresh water" means water that generally contains less than 1 000 milligrams per litre of dissolved solids.

"representative sampling" means the weekly measurement of ammonia and pH in the effluent under normal operating conditions of the wastewater treatment facility.

"surface water" means a lake, pond, marsh, creek, spring, stream, river, estuary or marine body of water, or other surface watercourse.

"wastewater" means a mixture of liquid wastes primarily composed of domestic sewage, that can also include other liquid wastes from industrial, commercial and institutional sources.

"wastewater system" means any works for the collection or treatment and release of wastewater or any part of such works.

2. Application

This Guideline applies to any person who owns a wastewater system at the time of publication of this Guideline that has an effluent discharge flow to surface water that is greater than or equal to 5 000 m³ per day, based on an annual average.

3. Standards

The available scientific literature indicates that the environmental risks associated with ammonia are related to both its acute and chronic toxicity to freshwater organisms. The 2001 Priority Substances List (PSL) Assessment Report that led to the addition of "Ammonia dissolved in water" to the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 of the CEPA 1999 and the CCME Canadian Water Quality Guidelines for the Protection of Aquatic Life provide an overview of the factors known to affect the toxicity of ammonia. Any person who meets the criteria in section 2 of this guideline should take measures to meet the following standards.

Acute toxicity

The concentration of ammonia deposited to surface water frequented by fish should not be acutely lethal. Refer to Appendix A, which describes the procedure for determining whether the effluent is acutely lethal to fish due to ammonia.

• An objective for ammonia releases to surface water is to achieve and maintain a concentration of ammonia in the effluent that is not acutely lethal to fish due to ammonia.

Chronic toxicity

The chronic toxicity of ammonia to fish and benthic invertebrate populations is likely to result in reduced reproductive capacity and reduced growth of young. The zone of impact of non-treated or inadequately treated effluents varies greatly with discharge conditions, mixing capacity of the receiving water, temperature and pH. Potentially toxic conditions resulting from municipal wastewater-related ammonia typically start in May and continue into October in receiving waters that are routinely basic in pH, relatively warm in temperature, and have a low flow. Further guidance to ascertain how site-specific conditions may impact on the chronic toxicity of ammonia can be found in the PSL Assessment Report. Refer to section 5 of this Guideline for links to information on the PSL Assessment Report.

• An objective for ammonia releases to surface water is to achieve and maintain a concentration of ammonia in the effluent that will ensure the protection of freshwater life. Wastewater systems should not release ammonia in quantities or concentrations resulting in a concentration of unionized ammonia greater than 0.019 mg/L in the aquatic environment.

Further information on the chronic toxicity of ammonia can be found in the CCME Canadian Water Quality Guidelines for the Protection of Aquatic Life for ammonia. Canadian water quality guidelines are intended to provide protection of freshwater and marine life from anthropogenic stressors such as chemical inputs or changes to physical components.

4. Factors to consider

Any person who owns a wastewater system as defined in section 2 above should consider the following factors while developing plans and actions to meet the standards outlined in section 3:

(1) Following detailed scientific assessments, ammonia dissolved in water was found to be toxic in accordance with the criteria set out in section 64 of the Act. As such, it was added to the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 of the Act. In addition, the deposit of a deleterious substance of any type in water frequented by fish is prohibited by the Fisheries Act, under subsection 36(3), unless there is a regulation under subsection 36(5) of the Fisheries Act or under another federal law authorizing the deposit. With respect to the release of ammonia through municipal wastewater effluents, there is no federal regulation at the time of publication of this Guideline. Refer to section 5 of this Guideline for links to information on the Fisheries Act, and the compliance and enforcement policies of the Fisheries Act and the Act.

(2) The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) agreed in November 2003 to develop a Canada-wide Strategy for the management of municipal wastewater effluents, which will address specific parameters and governance. The Strategy will be based on the following three cornerstones:

(a) harmonization of the regulatory framework;

(b) coordinated science and research; and

(c) an environmental risk management model.

The Strategy is expected to be completed by December 2006, after which it will be implemented by each jurisdiction. Environment Canada intends to use a regulation under the Fisheries Act as its principal implementation tool to achieve effluent standards for wastewater treatment systems equivalent in performance to conventional secondary treatment, with additional treatment where required. The regulation will also address wastewater systems on federal and aboriginal lands. Refer to section 5 of this Guideline for links to the CCME Canada-wide Strategy.

(3) To ensure that the overall risk to the environment or human health is reduced, owners of wastewater systems should consider actions that reduce or eliminate risks posed by other substances that may be found in municipal wastewater effluent, in particular the following substances which are specified in Schedule 1 of the Act:

(a) nonylphenol and its ethoxylates,

(b) effluents from textile mills that use wet processing,

(c) mercury,

(d) lead,

(e) hexavalent chromium compounds,

(f) inorganic cadmium compounds,

(g) inorganic arsenic compounds,

(h) inorganic chloramines,

(i) chlorinated wastewater effluents.

(4) Nitrogen in ammonia, along with phosphorus, is a nutrient responsible for stimulating plant and algal growth in the aquatic environment. However, excessive amounts of ammonia and phosphorus can cause over-fertilization or eutrophication, resulting in excessive growth of algae. Eutrophication reduces available dissolved oxygen, can have toxic effects on aquatic organisms, harm spawning grounds, alter habitat, lead to a decline in certain species, and impair the aesthetic enjoyment of water. Municipal wastewater is the largest point source of nitrogen and phosphorus released to the Canadian environment, although non-point sources may also be significant. The occurrence of eutrophication depends on a number of site-specific factors and is not generally a problem associated with every municipal wastewater discharge. Excessive loadings of nitrogen and phosphorus are usually best managed on a watershed basis, where loadings from all sources can be identified and the appropriate ones reduced to minimize eutrophication.

(5) A process audit should be conducted and may be useful in identifying the sources and quantities of ammonia discharged to the wastewater collection system from industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities. These facilities may be amenable to pollution prevention or control options that minimize the introduction of ammonia into the wastewater system. Refer to section 5 of this Guideline for links to technical guidance on system and process audits.

(6) Many wastewater treatment facilities are not operated with ammonia reduction as a primary objective. Optimization of the wastewater treatment facility may reduce the concentration of ammonia released to surface water and, where chlorination is practiced, the creation of inorganic chloramines without impairing the attainment of other treatment objectives. A process audit of the wastewater treatment facility should be conducted specifically looking for means to reduce the release of ammonia to surface water. Refer to section 5 of this Guideline for links to technical guidance for process audits.

Appendix A — Acute Ammonia Toxicity

This appendix describes the method for determining whether or not an effluent contains an acutely lethal concentration of ammonia based on the curve of Figure 1.

Step 1. Take a weekly sample of the effluent released to surface water and analyze the sample for ammonia concentration and pH.

Step 2. Plot the ammonia concentration vs. pH on Figure 1 below.

Step 3. If the data point falls below the curve in the shaded area, your effluent does not contain an acutely lethal concentration of ammonia. If the data point falls on or above the curve, the effluent contains an acutely lethal concentration of ammonia.

Figure 1 – Treshold Acute Concentration of Ammonia versus pH

Maximum allowable ammonia concentration (y) at the measured pH of the effluent can be calculated using the following equation:

y = 306132466.34 × (2.7183 ^{(-2.0437 x pH)})

"wastewater system" means any works for the collection or treatment and release of wastewater or any part of such works.

2. Person or class of persons required to prepare and implement a pollution prevention plan

This Notice applies to any person who owns a wastewater system at the time of publication of this Notice where the effluent released during either 2004 or 2005 from that system to surface water is greater than or equal to 5 000 m³ per day, based on an annual average, and where the concentration of total residual chlorine in the effluent released to surface water exceeds 0.02 mg/L in any sample during either 2004 or 2005, based on representative sampling.

3. Activities in relation to which the plan is to be prepared

The Minister requires all persons subject to this Notice to prepare and implement a pollution prevention plan in relation to the use of chlorine or chlorine compounds in wastewater systems and the release of chlorinated effluent to surface water.

4. Factors to be considered in preparing the plan

During the preparation of pollution prevention plans, the Minister requires all persons subject to this Notice to consider the following factors:

(1) Following detailed scientific assessments, inorganic chloramines and chlorinated wastewater effluents were found to be toxic under the Act. As such, these substances were added to the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 of the Act. Persons subject to this Notice shall consider that these substances are "toxic" in accordance with the criteria set out in section 64 of the Act. In addition, the deposit of a deleterious substance of any type in water frequented by fish is prohibited by the Fisheries Act, under subsection 36(3), unless there is a regulation under subsection 36(5) of the Fisheries Act or under another federal law authorizing the deposit. With respect to inorganic chloramines and chlorinated wastewater effluents, there is no federal regulation at time of publication. Refer to section 15 of this Notice for links to the Fisheries Act and Compliance and Enforcement Policies of the Fisheries Act and the Act.

(2) "Pollution prevention", as defined in section 3 of the Act, means the use of processes, practices, materials, products, substances or energy that avoid or minimize the creation of pollutants and waste and reduce the overall risk to the environment or human health. Pollution prevention planning is a means of addressing the release, to the environment, of toxic substances or other pollutants. The result of pollution prevention planning is the implementation of preventive and/or control actions. In order to achieve the risk management objective set out in subsection 4(3), persons subject to this Notice shall consider the following activities when preparing and implementing their pollution prevention plans:

(a) Conducting process audits for chlorine by June 15, 2006, and implementing actions based on the audit findings by December 15, 2008, that minimize the use and release of chlorine or chlorine compounds. Refer to section 15 of this Notice for links to technical guidance.

(b) Implementing dechlorination or alternative disinfection technologies. Refer to section 15 of this Notice for links to technical guidance.

(3) The risk management objective for this Notice is to achieve and maintain a concentration of total residual chlorine that is less than or equal to 0.02 mg/L in the effluent released to surface water by December 15, 2009.

(4) The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) agreed in November 2003 to develop a Canada-wide Strategy for the management of municipal wastewater effluents, which will address specific parameters and governance. The Strategy will be based on the following three cornerstones:

(a) harmonization of the regulatory framework;

(b) co-ordinated science and research; and

(c) an environmental risk management model.

The Strategy is expected to be completed by December 2006, after which it will be implemented by each jurisdiction. Environment Canada intends to use regulations under the Fisheries Act as its principal implementation tool to achieve effluent standards for wastewater treatment systems equivalent in performance to conventional secondary treatment, with additional treatment where required. The regulations will also address wastewater systems on federal and aboriginal lands. Refer to section 15 of this Notice for links to the CCME Web site and information on the Canada-wide Strategy.

(5) In order to ensure that the overall risk to the environment or human health is reduced, the pollution prevention plan prepared for this Notice should include, where relevant, prevention and control actions that address risks posed by other substances that may be found in municipal wastewater effluent, in particular, the following substances which are specified in Schedule 1 of the Act:

(a) nonylphenol and its ethoxylates;

(b) effluents from textile mills that use wet processing;

(c) mercury;

(d) lead;

(e) hexavalent chromium compounds;

(f) inorganic cadmium compounds;

(g) inorganic arsenic compounds; and

(h) ammonia dissolved in water.

STÉPHANE DION
Minister of the Environment

NOTICE REQUIRING THE PREPARATION AND
IMPLEMENTATION OF POLLUTION PREVENTION
PLANS IN RESPECT OF EFFLUENTS FROM TEXTILE
MILLS THAT USE WET PROCESSING AND
NONYLPHENOL AND ITS ETHOXYLATES

1. Definitions

The definitions in this section apply to this Notice.

"Act" means the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.

"NP" means nonylphenol.

"NPEs" means nonylphenol ethoxylates.

"TMEs" means effluents from textile mills that use wet processing.

2. Person or class of persons required to prepare and implement a pollution prevention plan

This Notice applies to any person or class of persons who

(1) Owns or operates a textile mill that is involved in wet processing activities including, but not limited to, scouring, neutralizing, desizing, mercerizing, carbonizing, fulling, bleaching, dyeing, printing or any other type of wet finishing activity;

(2) Discharges all or part of its effluent produced during wet processes used in textile manufacturing to an off-site wastewater treatment facility; and

(3) Has had a daily effluent flow greater than 30 m³, based on average annual discharge, at least one year between 1999 and 2003, where for each year the flow is calculated from the total annual effluent volume divided by the number of facility operating days.

3. Activities in relation to which the plan is to be prepared

The Minister requires all persons identified in section 2 to prepare and implement a pollution prevention plan in relation to the following activities involving the discharge of TMEs and the use of NP and NPEs:

(1) Wet processing activities as enumerated in section 2; and

(2) On-site wastewater treatment including preliminary treatment (for example pH adjustment, flow equalisation, or screening).

4. Factors to consider in preparing the plan

The Minister requires all persons identified in section 2 to consider the following factors when preparing their pollution prevention plan:

(1) The risk management objectives outlined below:

(a) For NP and NPEs used in textile wet processing:

Reduce the annual use of NP and NPEs by at least 97 percent on a mass basis relative to the annual use for the 1998 base year. Should there be no NP or NPEs use data for the 1998 calendar year, the first year after 1998, but no later than 2005, for which there is data should be considered as the base year. The target year for achieving the reduction objective, based on annual use, is the 2009 calendar year or sooner.

(b) For TMEs:

Achieve and maintain through means other than dilution, a maximum acute toxicity of 13 percent IC₅₀ (50 percent inhibiting concentration), measured according to the method description provided in the document Biological Test Method: Toxicity Test Using Luminescent Bacteria (EPS 1/RM/24, November 1992) for a test duration of 15 minutes for the effluent discharged to an off-site wastewater treatment facility. The target year for achieving the toxicity objective is the 2009 calendar year or sooner.

(2) NP, NPEs and TMEs are on the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 of the Act. According to the Priority Substances List Assessment Reports for NP, NPEs and TMEs, these substances are "entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity." (see footnote 2)

(3) Choosing alternative products to NP and NPEs that reduce or minimize environmental risks. Accordingly, persons will need to consider

(a) That a review of relevant data for octylphenol and its ethoxylates (OP and OPEs) collected by Environment Canada during the priority substances assessment conducted for NP and NPEs showed that OP and OPEs have similar toxicological properties to NP and NPEs and therefore would not be an appropriate alternative to NP and NPEs; and

(b) Choosing alternative products which do not have, through their degradation, the potential to produce NP or NPEs.

(4) In preparing a pollution prevention plan, priority is to be given to pollution prevention activities, that is, the use of processes, practices, materials, products, substances or energy that avoid or minimize the creation of pollutants and waste and reduce the overall risk to the environment or human health (definition of "pollution prevention" as found in section 3 of the Act).

(5) During the implementation of the pollution prevention plan, monitoring shall be conducted to measure textile mill effluent toxicity. This monitoring plan should include

(a) The analysis of 24-hour composite samples collected at a frequency of at least four times per year and collected at evenly spaced time intervals throughout the year; this should include a minimum of four samples per year spaced at three month intervals;

(b) The collection of effluent samples such that they are representative of the textile mill effluent under typical or regular operating conditions, and of wastewater being discharged to the off-site wastewater treatment facility;

(c) Documenting the rationale for the selection of specific monitoring times and the corresponding results; and

(d) The implementation of quality assurance and control measures that will ensure the accuracy of the effluent characterization data.

(6) The Minister will evaluate the effectiveness of this Notice with respect to the risk management objectives set out in subsection 4(1) in order to determine if other steps or programs, including regulations, are needed to further prevent or reduce negative impacts of NP, NPEs and TMEs on the environment.

5. Period within which the plan is to be prepared

The Minister requires that the plan be prepared and that implementation be initiated no later than January 31, 2006.

6. Period within which the plan is to be implemented

The Minister requires that the plan be implemented no later than January 31, 2010.

For a person subject to the Notice on the date of publication in the Canada Gazette, phase 2 reductions to be achieved for the calendar year January 1 to December 31, 2010; or For a person becoming subject to the Notice after the date of publication in the Canada Gazette, phase 2 reductions to be achieved for the calendar year (January 1 to December 31) following the year referred to above to achieve the phase 1 reductions.

The base year is 1998, or the first calendar year after 1998 where the person subject to the Notice has purchased or otherwise acquired 2 000 kg or more of NP and NPEs for the activities outlined in section 3. Should there be no NP and NPE use data for the 1998 calendar year, the first year after 1998, but no later than 2003, for which there is data should be considered as the base year.

(2) NP and NPEs have been assessed to be toxic under section 64 of the Act and added to the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 of the Act. Many acute and chronic toxic effects of NP have been reported in a variety of aquatic biota, including fish, invertebrates and algae. Release of NP and NPEs in Canada can result in environmental concentrations that exceed the levels of concern. The Priority Substances List Assessment Report for NP and NPEs can be found at www2.ec.gc.ca/substances/ese/eng/psap/final/main.cfm. Paper copies of the NP and NPEs Priority Substances List Assessment Reports can be acquired by contacting the Inquiry Centre, 70 Crémazie Street, 7th Floor, Gatineau, Quebec K1A 0H3, 1-800-668-6767.

(3) In preparing a plan, priority is to be given to pollution prevention activities, that is, the use of processes, practices, materials, products, substances or energy that avoid or minimize the creation of pollutants and waste and reduce the overall risk to the environment or human health (definition of "pollution prevention" as found in section 3 of the Act).

(4) In order to achieve the risk management objective set out in subsection 4(1), persons subject to this Notice shall consider using the best available techniques economically achievable. These techniques include

(a) for the manufacture of products containing NP or NPEs: product reformulation including substitution of NP and NPEs or reduction of NP and NPEs concentration in products to the maximum extent possible;

(b) for the import of products containing NP or NPEs: ensuring that imported products contain no NP and NPEs or contain only the minimum concentration of NP and NPEs necessary to achieve the desired result.

(5) Persons subject to this Notice shall consider including accurate concentrations of NP and NPEs in products (if any) on each product's label.

(6) Persons subject to this Notice shall consider choosing alternatives to NP and NPEs that reduce or minimize environmental risks. Considerations should include the following:

(a) the Priority Substances List Assessment Report for NP and NPEs indicates that Octylphenol (OP) and its Ethoxylates (OPEs) have similar toxicological properties and possibly greater estrogenic properties than NP and NPEs. Therefore, OP and OPEs are not appropriate alternatives to NP and NPEs, since their use may amplify rather than reduce the risk to the environment;

(b) the chosen alternatives should not have, through their degradation, the potential to produce NP or NPEs.

(7) The Minister will evaluate the effectiveness of this Notice with respect to the risk management objective set out in subsection 4(1) in order to determine if other steps or programs, including regulations, are needed to further prevent or reduce negative impacts of NP and NPEs on the environment.

5. Period within which the plan is to be prepared

(1) For a person subject to the Notice on the date of publication in the Canada Gazette, the Minister requires that the plan be prepared and that implementation be initiated no later than June 30, 2005.

RADIOCOMMUNICATION ACT

Notice No. DGTP-012-04 — Proposed Revisions to the Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations (2004 edition)

This Notice invites comments on proposals for the revision of the Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations (2004 edition) as outlined in the consultation paper under the above title.

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) adopts a Table of Frequency Allocations as part of the International Radio Regulations. This International Table allocates radio frequency spectrum to various combinations of radio services and is revised on a periodic basis along with other parts of the international regulations.

The Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations is derived from the International Table of Frequency Allocations adopted by the ITU. The Canadian Table selects those radio services required to meet Canadian needs and also specifies, by Canadian footnote, any additional provisions for use of those services in Canada. Industry Canada revises the Canadian Table on a periodic basis normally following an ITU World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC). The WRC-03 Conference, which met in June/July 2003, adopted a number of changes to the frequency allocations in the International Table. The Conference dealt with a large number of issues including high frequency, amateur, maritime, radiolocation, navigation, science services, broadcasting-satellite, mobile-satellite, fixed and fixed-satellite services. The resulting changes to the International Table demand the consideration of several issues on a domestic basis. The above referenced consultation paper presents these issues and makes proposals for revision to the Canadian Table.

Submitting comments

Interested parties are invited to submit comments to certain issues raised in the consultation paper. These comments are to be submitted by February 26, 2005. Shortly after the close of the comment period, all comments received will be posted on Industry Canada's Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Web site at http://strategis.gc.ca/spectrum.

Respondents are requested to provide their comments in electronic format (WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF or ASCII TXT), along with a note specifying the software, version number and operating system used, to the following e-mail address: wireless@ic.gc.ca.

Written submissions should be addressed to the Director General, Telecommunications Policy, Industry Canada, 300 Slater Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0C8.

All submissions should cite the Canada Gazette, Part I, the publication date, the title, and the notice reference number (DGTP-012-04).

Obtaining copies

Copies of this notice and documents referred to are available electronically on the Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Web site.
