Footnotes:
l Where no measurable discharge occurs,
"no discharge" should be clearly noted on the submitted monthly discharge monitoring
report.
Flow ma be monito d ' f f
y re in one o our ways.
a) Measure flow continuously,
b) Calculate flow based on the area draining to the outfall, the built upon area, and the total rainfall, (this method of flow measurement should
not be used at facilities that have large ponds to collect surface water runoff),
c) Estimate by flow measurement at 20 minute intervals during the entire discharge event, or
d) Base flow on pump logs.
Where possible, the grab sample for oil and grease should be skiuuned from the surface of a quiescent (calm water) zone.
Acute Toxicity (Fathead Minnow, 24-hour) Monitoring, Annual, See Part III, Condition E.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.
There shall be no direct discharge of tank solids, tank bottom water, or the rag layer.
There shall be no direct discharge of tank contents following hydrostatic testing unless benzene concentration is less than 71.4 ug/1 and toluene
concentration is less than 11 ug/1.

Part III NPDES No. NCO021971
E. ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (ANNUAL)
The permittee shall conduct annual toxicity tests using protocols defined as definitive in E.P.A.
Document EPA/600/4-90/027 entitled "Methods for Measuring the Acute Toxicity of Effluents to
Freshwater and Marine Organisms." The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow
(Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test. Effluent samples for self -monitoring purposes must be
obtained below all waste treatment. The permittee will conduct one test annually, with the annual
period beginning in January of the calendar year of the effective date of the permit. The annual test
requirement must be performed and reported by June 30. If no discharge occurs by June 30,
notification will be made to the Division by this date. Toxicity testing will be performed on the next
discharge event for the annual test requirement.
The parameter code for this test is TAE6C. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit
condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was
performed, using the appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be
sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Water Quality
4401 Reedy Creek Rd.
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit
may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test.
Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
