Trace Organic Challenge
• Numerous and diverse known and unknown chemicals used in high quantities
• Adverse effects of trace organic compounds (TOrC) on aquatic life in receiving waters
• Sewage systems not designed for TOrC removal
• Regulatory requirements world-wide in development
![Page 4: Integrating Nutrient and Trace Organic Removal in ... › sites › default › files › news › LET...CarolloTemplateWaterWave.pptx/ 1 Integrating Nutrient and Trace Organic Removal](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1f2404199f6d32ea57eb24/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Regulatory Developments Related to TOrC Region/Country Regulatory Development
United States
• Contaminant Candidate List 3 (2009, every 5 years): 10 pharmaceuticals, 9 hormones • Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation (UCMR3) (2012): Screening for 7 hormones
Oregon SB737 - Municipal Persistent Pollutant Reduction Plans
California Recycled Water Policy: Monitoring Strategy for Water Reuse (2012)
Massachusetts Emerging Contaminant Screening Process
European Union
• REACH Directive (2007) • Compound-specific bans (e.g., Phtalates, nonylphenol) • Proposed change of ‘Directive on priority substances in the field of water quality’ (2012): 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2), 17 beta-estradiol (E2), Diclofenac. • Watershed specific strategies (2007, 2011): Rhine, Lake Geneva
Switzerland • Regulation Proposal to Finance WWTP Upgrades for TOrC Removal (2012)

Summary and Conclusions • Process upgrades for nutrient removal add
synergistic benefits for the removal of specific TOrC groups.
• Study added value by quantifying anticipated removal for various treatment processes and TOrC groups.
• Indicator matrix can be mapped with TOrC not studied herein that are of environmental concern to assess removal efficiency (based on biodegradability and sorption characteristics).
• Results useful for risk assessment and process design for a defined required target effluent quality.
• Results can be used to assess different processes (e.g., Deammonification) – Monitoring Guidance
