	Requiring the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to use a 10-4 risk level when calculating ambient water quality criteria for inorganic arsenic and to express permit limitations for metals only as mass-based limits unless otherwise required by an applicable effluent limitation guideline of the DEP may result in minor increased costs to the DEP that can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
