1 DR. KRAEUTER: Yes, that is the total volume that is being put 



2 out, because I remember somebody commenting on it that boats put out 



3 more than that; one boat going by put out that much. 



4 DR. GRASSLE: What I realized is that the next paragraph at the 



5 top of 25d was our main statement. 



6 DR. VALENTINE: Could we get back to "G" before you go on? I 



7 think that paragraph needs some work. 



8 For instance, "Produced water must meet the 48 ppm." Wouldn't it 



9 be better to say, "Must meet the current--" whatever it is "--EPA 



10 discharge standard" or something like that? I mean, why be locked into 



11 some number that might go-- 



12 (Simultaneous discussion.) 



13 DR. TEAL: I am saying, it ought to meet whatever-- 



14 (Simultaneous discussion.) 



15 DR. VALENTINE: Then it says "Total organic carbon can range from 



16 200 to 600 ppm." Is that in produced water? 



17 DR. KRAEUTER: Discharges? 



18 DR. MACIOLEK: Right--that is the characteristic of the water, not 



19 of the standard. 



20 DR. BOTHNER: I am not sure why that is helpful to have that in 



21 there at all. I mean, that total organic carbon issue. 



22 DR. VALENTINE: It just tells you what is in the produced water. 



23 DR. BOTHNER: I know, but I mean, I am amazed--I am guessing that 



24 much of that 200 to 600 ppm is organic carbon that is not oil or grease. 



25 DR. TEAL: It is. 



26 DR. BOTHNER: It is all oil and grease? 



27 DR. TEAL: It is not oil and grease. 



28 DR. GRASSLE: I think it is not a useful thing. 



29 DR. BOTHNER: It does not help me, then, because it is a red 



30 herring. 



31 DR. GRASSLE: Then, to continue--does anyone want to leave it in? 



32 DR. TEAL: Okay, let's leave it out. 



33 DR. GRASSLE: Then we can delete "This is only a concern during 



34 production?" "Produced water is only a concern during production?"
