7.2 Testing Requirements
7.2.1 To determine the IC25, the final treated effluent as discharged must be sampled and measured in accordance with the tests below.
7.2.2 TEFSJb. the sublethal toxicity emission factor, is calculated as TEFsub = [log10 (100llC25mean)] x [annual mill effluent flow in m ] — [annual mill tonnage in ADMT]. Toxicity shall be measured using two different species of divergent taxonomic and ecological ranks. In fish the measured 1025 effect will be based on growth, in aquatic invertebrates 1025 values will be based on reproduction. The species selected to evaluate the toxicity of a mill’s effluent should be physiologically and ecologically similar to organisms that reside in the certifying mills receiving water. For example, toxicity evaluations of effluent discharged into marine systems shall be based on toxicity endpoints in marine species. A TEF load value of 0 will be given to zero-effluent mills.
7.2.3 Listed below are acceptable chronic test methods to establish 1025:
a) Testing on an aquatic vertebrate species using one of the following:
1) EPA-821-R02-013, “Short-Term Methods for Estimating the Chronic Toxicity of
Effluents and Receiving Waters to Freshwater Organisms” US Environmental Protection
Agency, 2002; or
2) EPA-600-R95-136, “Short-Term Methods for Estimating the Chronic Toxicity of
Effluents and Receiving Waters to West Coast Marine and Estuarine Organisms”, US
Environmental Protection Agency, 1995. or
3) Report EPS 1RM’22. “Biological Test method: Test of Larval Growth and Survival Using Fathead Minnows”, Environment Canada, 2011
b) Testing on an aquatic invertebrates species using one of the following:
1) EPA-821-R02-013, “Short-Term Methods for Estimating the Chronic Toxicity of
Effluents and Receiving Waters to Freshwater Organisms” US Environmental Protection
Agency. 2002; or
2) EPA-600-R95-136. “Short-Term Methods for Estimating the Chronic Toxicity of
Effluents and Receiving Waters to West Coast Marine and Estuarine Organisms, US
Environmental Protection Agency, 1995; or
3) Report OECD/OCDE-21 1, “Daphnia magna Reproduction Test”, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, September 1 998; or
4) Report EPS 1’RM21, “Biological Test Method: Test of Reproduction and Survival Using the Cladoceran Ceriodaphna dubia”, Environment Canada, 2007: or
5) Report EPS 1/RM’27, “Biological Test Method: fertilization Assay Using Echinoids (Sea Urchins and Sand Dollars)”. Environment Canada, 2011.
8.1.4 Solid waste that is diverted or put to beneficial use includes:
a) mill wastes incinerated on-site or off-site that are incinerated with energy recovery;
b) mill wastes (ash, etc.) composted, land-farmed or used as a soil amender;
C) wastes used in a commercial product including the sanitary paper itself:
d) clay, sand, humus or sludge that is non-toxic and used as daily or final cover at a landfill or some other beneficial use: and
e) “foreign waste” materials (metals, plastic, etc.) extracted by hand or machine from lower quality post-consumer materials or printed recovered materials, that are either accepted for recycling at a recycling facility, incinerated with energy recovery, or sorted out locally to the waste source and returned to the normal waste stream for sorting and recycling.
8.1.5 Pre-Slurry. Non-Fiber Materials from Paper Stock includes all non-fiber based materials in the recycled fiber source used as input into the pulping process. These materials other than fiber include plastic, metal, glass and combinations of those materials in the source of recycled fiber.
8.1.6 When measuring these materials, estimated values based on regular audits or recycled material grades used in the process can be used.
8.2 Landfill Diversion Rate for Waste Materials from Pulping and Paper Making Processes, excluding Pre-Slurry, Non-Fiber Materials from Paper Stock (mass of all materials is to be reported on a dry basis)
8.2.1 Step 1. Determine the annual mass (in kg,) of all discarded materials:
a) Discarded materials includes both the solid waste directed to the waste stream as well as the solid waste that is diverted or put to a beneficial use. i.e. all process waste outputs
8.2.2 Step 2. Determine the total annual mass (in kg) of the solid waste directed to the waste stream. including both the mass of waste directed to landfill and the mass incinerated without energy recovery. Values for waste should include values associated with both pulp production and paper production, whether those production processes are onsite or offsite.
8.2.3 Step 3. Determine the total annual mass (in kg) of the solid waste that is diverted or put to beneficial use.
8.2.4 Step 4. Calculate the diversion rate using the formula below.
