I have been conducting Tier It Environmental Audits at several of our asphalt & light product terminals and headed right into a "salt Water fishing" vacation (my wife's'favorite activity), I appreciate the effort & time your Compliance& Expedited Permitting Unit took to evaluate Marathon's request, providing a well written regulatory review and giving suggestions to assist in maintaining the Charlotte East Terminal (NCO021971) in compliance with our NPDES permit effluent discharges. Bath your and Wes Bell provided ideas on reducing or eliminating the turbidity potential. Turbidity Reduction Tools we are Investigating. • West mentioned a specific type Floc soft sock boom or Floc Snake that reduces turbidity in storm water. Located information on this type product, it looks promising. • As you mentioned, polymers such a PAM. I located information produces) by the US EPA for Storm Water Best Management Practice - Turbidity Control, that is also safe for aquatic life, etc. (anionic polymer carrying a negative charge). We will investigate and run it through your office and Mooresville. • We have met with Rain For Rent on -site to discuss ghat Turbidity reduction services they can; provide, i.e. equipment, flocculation, booms, etc. We are currently evaluating their proposal for services, In addition to the above and as I mentioned in my original June 3, 2016, email, we are currently utilizing: • Silt fences • Rip rap & rip rap dams with silt screens • Installing fabric luring and drainage tiles within the dike floors, • Utilizing vacuum trucks to remove soil mud from crack pots and exposed lining (with increased maintenance of these areas during construction) • Utilizing wooden planks and rocks for vehicle/equipment travel within diked areas • Retention of water in dike areas and retention pond to allow for the settling out of the red clay components • Emphasizing with on -site contractors the high importance of eliminating practices that result in potential for excessive turbidity (reducing soil disturbance, plan ahead on steps in a project so that you don't disturb an area more than truce, use of appropriate silt control, etc. Again, I grant to thank you for taping the time to review our request and providing suggestions for controlling turbidity beyond what we have implemented to date. In talking with John avid Neal, Terminal Supervisor he had received the results from the on -site inspection and record review conducted by Wes Bell at both the Charlotte East & West Terminals. I have attached above the Charlotte East Report which indicate a positive inspection report. Review of the Outfa'll discharges that occurred for April, May & June 2016, confirm that the discharge effluent was well below the permit's turbidity limits, As I mentioned to Wes, anyone from the Division is welcome to visit the Charlotte East/West Terminal at any time. We appreciate the "third eye" reviewing our sites. We get a new view and potential ways to solve any potential NP DES concerns that are out there. Tom ,t Thomas G.

VAN DER VAART Secwtary Water Resources S. JAY ZIMMERMAN ENViROMMENTAL QUALITY June 24, 2016 t Bradley McKain Blanchard Terminal Company LLC 539 S Main Si Findlay, OH 45840 � Subject: NPDES Electronic Reporting Requirements Charlotte Terminal (outfall 009) NPDES Permit Number: NCO021971 Gear NPDES Permittee: The U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) recently published the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule. The rule requires NPDES regulated facilities t report information electronically, instead of filing written paper reports. The rule does not change what information is required from facilities, It only changes the method -bywhich information is provided (i.e., electronic rather than paper -based). EPA; is phasing in the requirements of the rule over a 5-year period. The two phases of the rule, and their key milestones, are: • Phase 1—Starting can December 21, 2016, regulated entities thatarerequired to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) will begin submitting these reports electronically. if you are currently reporting your DMR data electronically using eDMR, then you simply need to continue reporting in the same way as you are now. The key change is that, starting on December 21, 2016, electronic reporting of DMRs will be required, instead of voluntary, • Phase 2-Starting can December 21, 2020, regulated entities that are required to submit certain other NPDES reports will begin submitting these reports electronically. Reports covered in the second phase include Notices of Intent to discharge in compliance with an NPDES general permit, Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports, and a number of other NPDES program reports. Incorporating Electronic Reporting Requirements into NPDES Permits The NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule requires authorized NPDES programs to incorporate electronic reporting requirements into NPDES permits beginning December 21, 2015. Under the new rule, the electronic reporting process supersedes the paper reporting process. According to our files, your NPDES permit became effective after November 2013, and should contain the requirement to electronically report your Discharge Monitoring Reports using NC DWR's eDMR system. In addition to requiring permittees to report information electronically, the rule also requires permittees to identify the initial recipient for the NPDES electronic reporting data [see 40 CFR 122,41(1)(9)]. Initial State ofNortlz Carolina I Environmental Quality I Water Resources 1617 Mail ServicQ Center I Raleigly Nortb Carolina 27699-1617 919 807 6300 recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities (initial recipient) means the entity (EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated entity for receiving electronic NPDES Data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)]. Permittees are required to electronically' submit the required NPDES information to the appropriate initial recipient, as determined by EPA. By July 18, 2016, EPA must identify and publish on its web site and in the Federal Register a listing of initial recipients by state and by NPDES data group, Once available, you can use EPA's web site to find out or determine the initial recipient of your electronic submission. NC'DWR has submitted a request to EPA to be the initial recipient for the following NPDES data groups. 1. Discharge Monitoring Reports; 2. General Permit Reports [Notices of Intent to discharge (NOIs); Notices of Termination (NOTs)], 3. Pretreatment Program Reports; and 4, Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports EPA's web site will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each type of electronic submission for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well.

Holy Roan Charlotte, NC 28214 USA BP Products North America NPDES Permit IBC O0219 1 As reported to your office on Wednesday, .August 8, 2012, there was a release of mixture of water and fire -fighting foam offsite at the BP Products North America BP Charlotte Terminal.: The terminal is located at 7401 Old Mt. holly Road. in Charlotte and discharges to Paw Creek under the above -referenced NPI. ES permit number. At approximately 8:15 PM on Tuesday, August 7, 2012, following a brief thunderstorm, the fire suppression system at the facility loading rack was activated. At this time it is believed that the system activation was due to a compromised pull station. The fire suppression system released fire -fighting foam throughout the loading rack and surrounding areas. A portion of the foam entered the non-petrolu -contact area (parking lot) surface water drainage system. The discharge valve for this drainage system is normally maintained in the open position. In the event of a catastrophic release, this valve is closed by facility personnel, if it is safe to do so. Shortly after the activation of the fire -suppression system, this discharge valve was closed in an effort to retain the foam onsite. At approximately 10:00 AM on Wednesday,;August 8, 2012 BP was notified by the Charlotte Fire Department that foam was present at 3 offsite locations. BP immediately investigated the locations and sent the spill response contractor to address the accumulated foam. The locations where foam was found are indicated on the attached map. Two representative of the Mecklenburg County Water Quality Program inspected the site and the ofTsite foam locations at approximately 12:30 PM on Wednesday August 8. At the present time, BP believes that the off -site impacts of the foam have been eliminated. EIV If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 704-399-39 5 or at MMagribe, th.

He noted that they removed the oil water separator at the facility. in 2008/2009 and he thought the facility had been declassified. However, BIMS still has a PC-1 classification for the permitted facility. I have attached the most recent description page for NCO021971 (2011-no oil/water separator in the description) along with the pricer permit (2006) that notes the oil/water separator.

Inspection records (2003-2005) ,tory ratings in all inspected areas. The facility has not received any notices of violation or enforcement ast permit term. DMRReview: DMR,s were reviewed from April 2003 through March 2005. Discharges from 009 are sporadic in nature; the mean flow for those months in which there was discharge was 0.096 MGD. The maximum flow (used below in the reasonable potential calculations) was 0. 165 MGD. Total suspended solids during this time averaged 5.26 mg/T- with a maximum of 14.2 mg/L. All oil and grease effluent sample concentrations were less than the detection level. The permit requires monthly monitoring for BTEX, turbidity, and MTBE. These are addressed below in the R,PA section. The twice -annual EPA 624/625 scan revealed non -detects for all additional parameters of concern. The facility has passed all its annual acute toxicity tests since the 2001 permit renewal. Reasonable Potential Analysis: Data were analyzed for benzene, xylene, toluene, ethyl benzene and turbidity. All levels for benzene, toluene, xylene, and ethylbenzene were below detection level. The reasonable potential analysis for turbidity, however, predicted a maximum effluent turbidity of 95.0 NTU, which is above the state standard of 50 NTU so the limit will remain unchanged.

The permit authorizes the discharge of stormwater/wastewater from Outfall 009. The portion of the facility associated with the NPDES treatment works and discharge consists of two oil/water separators, operated in series, with'an oil storage tank. The permit properly describes the facility and appears adequate for the wastewater being discharged. RECORDS/REPORTS: Discharge Monitoring Reports (D were reviewed for the period May 2003 through April 2004. These reports appeared to be properly completed. The terminal manager maintains clear, organized records and reports. copies of effluent analytical results are readily available at the site. FACILITY SITEREVIEW: The facility is engaged in fuel oil, gasoline, d kerosene storage and distribution. Wash - down water and storrawater draining g from the leading racy and manifold areas are treated by the oil/water separators. The loading rack is covered by a roof, which reduces the volume of rainwater going to the oil/water separators, following treatment ent the discharge enters an open ditch that flows toward Outta l 009. Additional stormwater from the area is collected in the containment basins surrounding the above ground storage tanks. water is held in the containment basins until it is manually released after a visual inspection for any sheen. The drainages from both areas merge together prior to Outfall 009. All of the major components of the Outfall 009 treatment :works were in service and appeared to be operating properly at the time of the inspection The facility discharges to an unnamed tributary to Paw Creek, which is a Class C water in the Catawba River Basin; FLOW SU ENT Flow measurement for Outfall 009 is accomplished by using a calculation based on the amount ofdrainage area, impervious area at the site, and total rainfall amount. LABORATORY: _ Analysis of effluent samples its performed by Test America. Test America was not evaluated under this inspection. rpv EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS: The facility was not discharging t the time of the inspection. Outfall 009 consists of a riprap ditch, which flaws to an unnamed tributary to Paw Creek, classified as C waters within the Catawba River Basin. Inspection oft e outfa.11 revealed no detrimental impacts to the receiving stream.

A Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report was issued on April 15,2003. PERMIT: The current permit became effective on September 1, 2001 and is valid through June 30, 2005. The permit authorizes the discharge of stormwater/wastewater from Outtall 009. The portion of the facility associated with the NPDES treatment works and discharge consists of two oll/water separators, operated in series, with an oil storage tank. The permit properly describes the facility and appears adequate for the wastewater being discharged. RECORDS/REPORTS: Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period May 2003 through April 2004. These reports appeared to be properly completed. The terminal manager maintains clear, organized records and reports. Copies of effluent analytical results are readily available at the site. FACILITY SITE REVIEW: The facility is engaged in fuel oil, gasoline, and kerosene storage and distribution. Wash - down water and stormwater draining from the loading rack and manifold areas are treated by the oil/water separators. The loading rack is covered by a roo� which reduces the volume of rainwater going to the oil/water separators, Following treatment the discharge enters an open ditch that flows toward Outfall 009. Additional storrawater from the area is collected in the containment basins surrounding the above ground storage tanks. This water is held in the containment basins until it is manually released after a visual inspection for any sheen. The drainages from both areas merge together prior to Outfall 009. All of the major components of the Outfall 009 treatment works were in service and appeared to be operating properly at the time of the inspectiom The facility discharges to an unnamed tributary to Paw Creek, which is a Class C water in the Catawba River Basin. FLOW MEASUREMENT: Flow measurement for Outfill 009 is accomplished by using a calculation based on the amount of drainage area, impervious area at the site, and total rainfall amount. LABORATORY: Analysis of effluent samples is performed by Test America. Test America was not evaluated under this inspection. EFFLUENT/RECEIVING RYA e facility was not discharging at the time of the inspection. Outfall 009 consists of a riprap ditch, which flaws to an unnamedtributary to Paw Creek, classified as C watery within the Catawba River Basin.

NPDES Permit NCO021971 Mecklenburg County Dear Mr. Bridgeman: In compliance with the Notice of Violation issued April 24, 200 1, TransMontaigne makes written notification to the deficiencies noted under the Self -Monitoring Program. On February 28, 2001, terminal personnel monitored the facility effluent flow for the annual acute t0XiCity requirement, however, they failed to perform the required monthly monitoring of all permitted parameters. Because the discharge occurred on the last day of the mouth, no other discharge occurred during February to enable terminal personnel to perform all required monitoring. Terminal personnel have been counseled as to the importance of complying with all permit conditions and will verify that all required parameters are properly monitored each month during discharge. We trust the cotTective action listed above will provide assurance that future deficiencies of this nature will not occur, TransMontaigne also makes notification to NCDENR that the build up of mud referenced in the Effluent/Receiving Waters section of the inspection report was not a result of the cleaning out of gasoline storage tanks, A discharge of approximately 80,000 barrels of hydrostatic test water from an out of service aboveground storage tank was completed on April 10, 2001. The storage tank (which previously contained kerosene and had been cleaned before testing began), contained clean water obtained from the firTek Av\ hydrant located near the facility property. The discharge was performed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the NPDES permit. Should you require additional information, please call me at 770/518-3671.

D R. Review. DMR.s were reviewed from January 1997 through January 2001. Discharges from 09 are sporadic in nature, the mean flow for those months in which there was discharge was 0.219 MG9. The maximum flow (used below in the reasonable potential calculations) was 0.8 MGD. Total suspended solids during this time averaged 21.9 mg/L with a maximum of 326 mg/L. The average oil and grease concentration was 1.56 mg/L with a maximum concentration of 10.5 mg/L. The twice' annual EPA 624/625 scan revealed non -detects for all the semi-volatiles and volatiles tested. The facility is currently required to test monthly for benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylene — for the entire permitting cycle, there were five or fewer detects of each. The facility has passed its acute toxicity test since 1997. Fact Sheet NPDES NCO0219 i Renewal Page 1 Since March 1999, the facility has been required to sam e for turbidity quarterly as per an EPA directive. They have sampled durin 1 each discharae event sin( Ve requirement was instilled — the average turbidity value in the past year and a Ulf is 12.39 MfU and the maximum was 28.2 NTU. Reasonable Potential Analysis: Reasonable Potential Analysis was run for benzene, xylene, toluene, ethyl benzene and turbidity. With few detects for the BTEX contaminants, not one of these four demonstrated reasonable potential for effluent contamination. The reasonable potential analysis for turbidit however, predicted a maximum effluent turbidity of 92.2 NTU, which is above the state standard of 50 N70. PERMITTING STRATEGY The permitting strategy for this and all oil terminals in the state is based upon a 2001 NPDES document entitled, "Permit Requirements for Discharges from Oil and Petroleum Storage Facilities." This document is based upon a 1996 SOP and has been updated after a data review and internal discussions. It delineates monitoring frequencies and permitting limits for contaminants commonly found at these sites. Below, it is referred to as the " 2001 SOP." Waste Load Allocation (WLA). The last waste load allocation was performed in 1994. The facility was not only under different ownership, but also discharging from eight separate outfalls. This WLA indicates that the region requested that benzene and toluene limits be assigned the permit. It also expresses concern over historical turbidity problems on the site. Oil Terminal SOP: The flow, toxicity, TSS, and oil and grease requirements specified in the previous permit and the 2001 SOP (Parts I.A. — I.D.) remain unchanged. The previous permit limited benzene to 71.4 lig/L, toluene to 11 �O ug/L and ethyl benzene to 325.0 pig/L. The facility has since adequately demonstrated that these parameters are not a cause for concern. These limits will therefore be removed but the facility will still be required to monitor monthly for the BTEX parameters as per Part I.E. of the SOP. Since the DMRs indicated non -detects in the reporting of EPA Methods 624/625, this requirement will be removed as per Part II.A. of the SOP. Naphthalene and MTBE monthly monitoring will be added to the permit as per Parts I.F and 1.1 of the 2001 SOP. As per parts I.G. and I.H. of the 2001 SOP, there can be no direct discharge of tanks solids, tank bottom water or the rag layer, and no direct discharge of hydrostatic test water if concentrations of benzene and/or toluene exceed the water quality standard. Part II.C. lists a requirement specific to the Paw Creek terminals — turbidity monitoring as mandated by the EPA. After performing a RPA for turbidity, it has been determined that a turbidity limit of 50 NTU will be placed in the pennit and the frequency of turbidity monitoring will be monthly. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES • Removal of benzene, toTuene, ethyl benzene and xylene limits • Removal of EPA Methods 624/625 monitoring requirement • Addition of naphthalene monitoring • Addition of MTBE monitoring • Addition of quarterly turbidity monitoring • Addition of turbidity limit of 50 NTU PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR PERMIT ISSUANCE Draft Permit to Public NjfiE�: March 14, 2001 Permit Scheduled to Issue: April 27, 2001 NPDES DIVISION CONTACT If you have questions regarding any of the above information or on the attached permit, please contact Natalie Sierra at (919) 733-5083 ext, 55 1.

A Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report was issued on July 12, 2000. PERMIT: The current permit became effective on September 1, 1996 and expires on August 3 1, ,I* I 1 9 FACILITY SITE REVIEW: The facility is engaged in fuel oil, gasoline, and kerosene storage and distribution. The facility discharges to an unnamed tributary Paw Creek, which is a Class C water in the Catawba River Basin. FLOW MEASUREMENT: Flow measurement for Outfall 009 is accomplished by using a calculation based on the amount of drainage area, impervious area at the site, and total rainfall amount. This method of flow measurement is acceptable. LABORATORY: J'1111TZIA;4 W4b 11UL fZVd1U4LrU UHUU1 U11b 111SPUQU011. PPIPPP,"- EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS: The facility was not discharging at the time of the inspection. (utfall 009 consists of rip rap ditch which flows to an unnamed tributary to Paw Creek, a Class C water in the Catawba River Basin. There was a red mud or silt deposit on the rocks that form the rip rap channel and also on the bed of the creek at outfall 009. Because of dry weather, no impact was observed downstream of outfall 009. The ORC indicated that the build up of mud was a result of the cleaning out of some of the gasoline storage `tanks. Sample analysis of the wastewater from the tank cleaning process were provided. The analysis did not indicate any elevated pollutant levels. SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM: DMRs were reviewed for the period .April 2000 through February 2001. The reports indicate that the facility was in compliance with permit limits and monitoring requirements ; during this period, except for the following: 1. Effluent Flow was not monitored for the month of February 2001, in violation of the permit monthly monitoring frequency requirement. This constitutes one (1) failure to monitor effluent Flow. 1 Effluent Total Suspended Solids;(TSS) was not monitored for the month of February 2001, in violation of the permit monthly monitoring frequency requirement. This constitutes one (1) failure to onitor effluent TSS. . Effluent Coil and Grease (O G) was not monitored for the month of February 2001, in violation of the permit monthly monitoringfrequency requirement. This constitutes one (1) failure to monitor effluent O G. 4. Effluent Benzene was not monitored for the month of February 2001, in violation of the permit monthly monitoring frequency requirement. This constitutes one (1) failure to monitor effluent Benzene. 5. ' Effluent Toluene was not monitored for the month of February 2001, in violation of the permit monthly monitoring frequency requirement. This constitutes one (1) failure to monitor effluent Toluene. . Effluent :Ethyl benzene was not monitored for the month of February 2001, in violation of the permit monthly monitoring frequency requirement. This constitutes one (1) failure to monitor effluent Ethyl benzene. OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE: Storm water in the diked basins is visually inspected for the presence of petroleurn shuns prier to discharge. The facility appeared to be well operated and the site properly maintained..

The subject letter was submitted in response to a Compliance Sampling Inspection Report dated September 22, 1993. Be advised that although a separate permit for the stormwater runoff is not required, the existing NPEES permit probably needs, to be modified to include at bast one Bather outfall and to provide for the discharge of stormwater from'the diked areas. Attached is a site drawing for the subject facility. Note the yellow line drawn between the diked areas; this represents an open effluent conveyance ditch which flows in a north to south direction. The existing NP1. ES permit provides for the discharge from two oil/water separators to an unnamed tributary to Paw Creek. The oil/water separators receive wash down water from the loading rack and runoff from the parking lot. Any flow from the aforementioned open ditch enters the unnamed tributary to Paw Creek. on the drawing at the northeast corner of the diked area around storage tank #112 is a red "X"{ this represents the point at which samples are collected to monitor the permitted discharge in accordance with the NPDES permit condition which states that samples shall be taken at the nearest accessible paint after final treatment but prior to actual discharge to or mixing with the receiving waters. 919 North Main Street Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 Telephone 704-663-1699FAX704-663-6040 n Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 0% recycled/ 10 post -consumer paper PPPPPP" Ms. Barbara Castleberry Page Two November 17, 1993 As illustrated on the drawing, stormwater runoff from three diked areas around storage tanks apparently enters directly into the effluent conveyance ditch downstream of the present sampling point. Stormwater runoff from three other diked areas apparently enters another ditch which flows in a west to east direction and connects to the effluent conveyance ditch, also downstream of the present sampling point. Stormwater runoff from the diked area around storage tanks #116 and #119 apparently enters another ditch which is not contiguous with the effluent conveyance ditch. If any or all of the above is true, then the Division will require that the NPDES permit be modified to provide for additional outfalls. It is the responsibility of Louis Dreyfus Energy to determine if the existing NPDES permit adequately addresses all wastewater treatment and discharge activities at the subject facility, and to apply for a permit modification, if necessary. Should you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 704/663-1699. Sincerely, Z D. Rex Gleason, P.E.

Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly* It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. - b "instantaneous flow -measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both "the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. c. A "continuous flaw measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shallbe monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flaw or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow devi a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of. (1) a series of grab samples Collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flaw measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected tonal daily flow at the treatment system, or () a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flaw. In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. in such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which am equal to number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four () during a 24 hour sampling period. b. GrabSample: Grab samples are individual samples Collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes, the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge or the receiving waters. .alculaoo PAM a Arithmetic Mean. The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. b. Geometric . The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values: The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1).

The "monthly average discharge: is defined as the total mass of all which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is Identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled "and/or' measured during the calendar week (Sunday -Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the., number of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in, Part I of the permit. C. The "maximum daily disc -barge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day.

If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of hours than the detention time in number of days;',provided, however, in no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge period of 24 hours or less. b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Part II Page 14 of 14 . Calculation of Means a Arithmetic Mean. The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any ;set of values is the Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal, to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the ant log of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero`(0) shall be considered to be one (1). C. Weighted by FlowValue: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. 10.
