Basis and Purpose:
As the result of a July, 2000 rulemaking hearing, the Commission adopted numerous changes to this regulation. Subsequent to final adoption and publication of those changes, several errors in the revised regulation were identified. These errors, including errors in the equations in Table III, certain calculated standards in Table IV, and several of the entries in the Organic Chemical standards table, were originally corrected in an emergency rulemaking hearing on May 14, 2001. In this rulemaking the Commission has re-adopted these corrections to make the emergency rule changes permanent.
