### sec.70 Prescribed maximum amount for chemicals— Act , s 206
For section 206 (4) of the Act , definition restricted stimulation fluids , paragraph (a) , the maximum amounts are as follows—
for benzene—1 part in a billion in any chemical additive, or combination of chemical additives, included in the restricted stimulation fluid;
for ethylbenzene—80 parts in a billion in any chemical additive, or combination of chemical additives, included in the restricted stimulation fluid;
for toluene—180 parts in a billion in any chemical additive, or combination of chemical additives, included in the restricted stimulation fluid;
for m-xylene—75 parts in a billion in any chemical additive, or combination of chemical additives, included in the restricted stimulation fluid;
for o-xylene—350 parts in a billion in any chemical additive, or combination of chemical additives, included in the restricted stimulation fluid;
for p-xylene—200 parts in a billion in any chemical additive, or combination of chemical additives, included in the restricted stimulation fluid.
For section 206 (4) of the Act , definition restricted stimulation fluids , paragraph (b) , the maximum amount of a chemical is the amount of the chemical that produces or would be likely to produce, whether on its own or in combination with another chemical, more than any of the following as it breaks down in the environment—
1 part in a billion of benzene;
80 parts in a billion of ethylbenzene;
180 parts in a billion of toluene;
75 parts in a billion of m-xylene;
350 parts in a billion of o-xylene;
200 parts in a billion of p-xylene.
To remove any doubt, it is declared that the amount of a chemical mentioned in subsection (1) or (2) is not measured in relation to water included in the restricted stimulation fluid.
(sec.70-ssec.1) For section 206 (4) of the Act , definition restricted stimulation fluids , paragraph (a) , the maximum amounts are as follows— for benzene—1 part in a billion in any chemical additive, or combination of chemical additives, included in the restricted stimulation fluid; for ethylbenzene—80 parts in a billion in any chemical additive, or combination of chemical additives, included in the restricted stimulation fluid; for toluene—180 parts in a billion in any chemical additive, or combination of chemical additives, included in the restricted stimulation fluid; for m-xylene—75 parts in a billion in any chemical additive, or combination of chemical additives, included in the restricted stimulation fluid; for o-xylene—350 parts in a billion in any chemical additive, or combination of chemical additives, included in the restricted stimulation fluid; for p-xylene—200 parts in a billion in any chemical additive, or combination of chemical additives, included in the restricted stimulation fluid.
(sec.70-ssec.2) For section 206 (4) of the Act , definition restricted stimulation fluids , paragraph (b) , the maximum amount of a chemical is the amount of the chemical that produces or would be likely to produce, whether on its own or in combination with another chemical, more than any of the following as it breaks down in the environment— 1 part in a billion of benzene; 80 parts in a billion of ethylbenzene; 180 parts in a billion of toluene; 75 parts in a billion of m-xylene; 350 parts in a billion of o-xylene; 200 parts in a billion of p-xylene.
(sec.70-ssec.3) To remove any doubt, it is declared that the amount of a chemical mentioned in subsection (1) or (2) is not measured in relation to water included in the restricted stimulation fluid.

- (c) for toluene—180 parts in a billion in any chemical additive, or combination of chemical additives, included in the restricted stimulation fluid;
- (d) for m-xylene—75 parts in a billion in any chemical additive, or combination of chemical additives, included in the restricted stimulation fluid;
- (e) for o-xylene—350 parts in a billion in any chemical additive, or combination of chemical additives, included in the restricted stimulation fluid;
- (f) for p-xylene—200 parts in a billion in any chemical additive, or combination of chemical additives, included in the restricted stimulation fluid.
