40 CFR 434 contains:
(a) the NPDES permit for the copper mining industrial group
(b) air emission standards for the petroleum refining industrial group
(c) effluent pre-treatment standards for the coal mining industrial group
(d) stormwater run-off standards for the pharmaceutical industrial group - --CORRECT ANSWER----C
Explanation
40 CFR 434, coal mining point source category covers effluent pre-treatment standards for the coal
mining industrial group. There is no general NPDES permit for the copper mining industrial group. There
is no pre-treatment effluent standards specifically for the copper mining industrial group, although
possibly applicable standards for mineral mining (40 CFR 436) and ore mining (40 CFR 440) exist. Air
emission standards for the petroleum refining industrial group are located at 40 CFR 60, subpart J.
Stormwater run-off standards are not prepared for individual industrial groups (40 CFR 122).
Allowed methods of analysis of heptachlor in wastewater include:
(a) EPA 8081
(b) EPA 608
(c) SM 6630 B & C
(d) ASTM D3086-90 - --CORRECT ANSWER----B,C,D
Explanation
Heptachlor, a pesticide, is a target analyte of EPA method 608 (organochlorine pesticides by GC-ECD),
SM 6630 B&C (Standard Methods organochlorine pesticides by liquid-liquid extraction GC method I and
liquid-liquid extraction GC method II), and ASTM D3086-90. Heptachlor is a target analyte for EPA
method 8081, but this method is part of SW-846. Methods in SW-846 are not identified as approved
methods for analysis of wastewater in 40 CFR 136.

Compliance monitoring analysis of wastewater:
(a) can be performed by any method
(b) can be performed by any method in Standard Methods
(c) can be performed by any method in the 18th Edition of Standard Methods
(d) can be performed by any method listed in 40 CFR 136 - --CORRECT ANSWER----D
Explanation
The Clean Water Act specifically authorizes the EPA Administrator to identify testing procedures that are
appropriate for monitoring wastewater. These identified methods are listed in 40 CFR 136.
Disposal of biosolids is covered under:
(a) 40 CFR 258
(b) 40 CFR 136
(c) 40 CFR 503
(d) 40 CFR 160 - --CORRECT ANSWER----C
Explanation
40 CFR 503, Standards for the use or disposal of sewage sludge, covers the disposal of biosolids. 40 CFR
258 is criteria for municipal solid waste landfills. 40 CFR 136 is guidelines for establishing test procedures
for the analysis of pollutants. 40 CFR 160 is good laboratory practice standards.
Oil & Grease is an example of:
(a) a non-conventional pollutant
(b) a conventional pollutant
