Further, a comparison of reject water from the water recovery system would no longer material compositions of historical hydrolysate shipments be produced, offsite shipments of RO reject would not be shown in Table 5-2 with anticipated compositions of the required, thus eliminating about 5,700 shipments from those BGCAPP hydrolysates in Tables 2-1 through 2-6 provides currently planned. Overall, if hydrolysate is shipped offsite no reason to expect any appreciable change in transportation for treatment, there would be about 4,200 fewer shipments risk due to the nature of the BGCAPP hydrolysates.
