    The document contains two tables that establish tolerance limits and hydraulic loading recommendations for industrial effluents according to Indian standards. Table 1 lists 31 characteristics such as suspended solids, pH, temperature, and heavy metals, along with the maximum permissible limits for effluents discharged into different areas. Table 2 provides recommended dosage ranges of settled industrial effluents per hectare per day for different soil texture classes, from sandy to clayey soils. Notes clarify that some values may be relaxed for certain industries or vary depending on site-specific conditions.

    industries, these values may be relaxed. Whenever these values are relaxed, it shall be
    ensured that the effluent passes the test for acute lethal toxicity as given in IS:6582.

    Note: This Table is a guideline only, as these values may vary depending on factors
    such as characteristics of waste water, infiltration capacity, permeability of soil,
    cropping pattern and passage of time.
