“…The SMCLs are non-enforceable guidelines for concentrations of "nuisance" constituents in drinking water that can cause unwanted cosmetic effects, such as skin or tooth discoloration; aesthetic effects, such as unpleasant taste, odor, or color; or technical effects, such as corrosion or sedimentation of plumbing or reduced effectiveness of water treatment. (98) Concentrations greater than one-tenth of a human-health benchmark were used in this assessment to indicate which contaminants occurred, either individually or as mixtures, at concentrations that approach those of potential concern for human health, and to identify contaminants that might warrant additional monitoring and study. The criterion of one-tenth of a benchmark is consistent with various State and Federal practices for reporting contaminant occurrence in groundwater and for identifying contaminants of potential human-health concern (for example, see U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; (101) New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (102) ).…”

“…An MCL was available for 42 of the constituents measured. For some constituents for which an MCL has not been established, the USGS, in collaboration with the USEPA and others, developed nonenforceable HBSLs by using standard USEPA methods for establishing drinkingwater guidelines and current toxicity information (94,96,98) (values used in this report were current as of February 2012; see http://water.usgs. gov/nawqa/HBSL).…”
