MEMORANDUM AND ORDER Ey motion for " Partial Reconsideration of the Septemoer 13, 1973, Init ial Decision", the Applicants move that the condition imposed by the Board in Parag on(c)(4) thereof be modified to allow a total residual chlorine concentration in the effluent of 0.2 ppm or less, not to exceed two (2) hours per day.
Thus, the Applicants request that our Initial Decision be changed so that the 0.1 ppm or less, referenced in Paragraph 86(c)(4), be changed to 0.2 ppm or less.
To support this motion, Applicants quote from Page 6 of the Regulatory Staff's " Supplemental Testimony to the Final Environmental Statement",
relating to Issue 8 incorporated in the Transcript following p. 600, as follows :
8003 o 50fD 8
,s
. The Applicants' Witnesses were questioned closely by the Board regarding the change in the Table 3.6 of the FES (Tr. 549, Tr. 551-552).
After this change, the figures in that table still indicate that an appreciable fraction of the chlorine may be present as free chlorine.
Moreover, at pages 5-14 of the FES, we are advised that ".
. EPA recommended criteria call for total residual chlorine in receiving waters of not more than 0.1 ppm chlorine, not to exceed 30 minutes per day or not more than 0.05 ppm not to exceed two hours per day".
Accordingly, the Board reaffirms its findings and conclusions on the mattG-is raised by the Applicants and does hereby deny the Applicants' motion for reconsideration.

Issued at Washington, D.

i In the absence of significant free chlorine, the appropriate criteria for receiving waters containing only " warm watur" fish species (i.e., the western basin of Lake Erie) is that, for a period of two hours a day, total residual chlorine may be up to but not exceed 0.2 mg/1.
Applicants also directed the Board's attention to the Applicants' Testimony occurring at Tr. 551.
The Board does not agree with the Applicants '
position.
We have reconsidered the quoted portions of the record and the other evidence pertinent to this matter, and we reaffirm our conclusions.
As indicated on page 5 of the Staff's Supplemental Testimony (following Tr. 600), and'in Section 5.5.3 of the Final Environmental Statement, it is clear to the Board that the principal environmental impact of chlorine involves the presence of that element in its free form.
Thus, the operative words in the above quote which govern the condition are ".
. in the absence of significant free chlorine The Applicants' Witness (Tr. 551) specifica11p stated that the proposed total of 0.2 ppm would include
. free and combined chlorine
