What tritium release limits do you use in addition to 10CFR20's?

Table 1 Occupational Values
Oral Ingestion ALI 8E+4 uCi
Inhalation ALI 8E+4 uCi
Inhalation DAC 2E-5 uCi/ml

Table 2 Effluent Concentration
Air 1E-7 uCi/ml
Water 1E-3 uCi/ml

Table 3 Releases to Sewers
Monthly Average Concentration 1E-2 uCi/ml

Does EPA and/or State EPA also set limits or release criteria ?

At DOE 10CFR835 tritium limits are more detailed than those in 10CFR20. 
The DOE also has State EPA limits to abide by.

My career in this field began at San Onofre Unit 1 in 1967 when the AEC
was the government agency whose rules we met.  After many years in NPPs I
worked at the WIPP facility then LANL.  LANL has many challenges with how
to handle tritium which includes NM state EPA.

Any advice ?
