Current through August 29, 2024
Section 445A.383 - "WAD cyanide" defined
1. "WAD cyanide" means the weak acid dissociable cyanide concentration determined by one of the following methods:
(a) ASTM D2036-082, "Standard Test Methods for Cyanides in Water," Method C, Part 31. A copy of ASTM D2036-082 is available for purchase at the IHS Standards Store at the Internet address https://global.ihs.com, for the price of $125.
(b) ASTM D2036-06, "Standard Test Methods for Cyanides in Water," Method C, followed by Part 16.2 (titrimetric), Part 16.3 (colorimetric) or Part 16.4 (ion-specific electrode). A copy of ASTM D2036-06 is available at the IHS Store at the Internet address https://global.ihs.com, for the price of $96.
(c) ASTM D2036-09, "Standard Test Methods for Cyanides in Water," Method C, followed by Part 16.2 (titrimetric), Part 16.3 (colorimetric) or Part 16.4 (ion-specific electrode). A copy of ASTM D2036-09 is available from ASTM International, P.O. Box C700, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania 19428-2959, by telephone at (877) 909-2786 or at the Internet address https://www.astm.org, for the price of $69.
(d) "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater," SM 4500-CN-I, followed by SM 4500-CN-D (titrimetric), SM 4500-CN-E (colorimetric) or SM 4500-CN-F (cyanide-ion selective electrode). A copy of these standards is available from Standard Methods at the Internet address https://standardmethods.org, for the price of $75.
(e) Another version or method approved by the Department and scientifically demonstrated to achieve performance in determining weak acid dissociable cyanide which is equivalent to one of the methods described in paragraphs (a) to (d), inclusive.
2. Additional guidance for mining methods and procedures are available from the Bureau of Mining Regulation and Reclamation of the Division at the Internet address https://ndep.nv.gov/land/mining/regulation/guidance-policies-references-and-requirements.
