2. Influent flow shall be continuously monitored and daily flow values shall be reported on Form
NDMR.
The Permittee shall install an appropriate flow measurement device consistent with approved
engineering and scientific practices to ensure the accuracy and reliability of influent flow
measurement. Flow measurement devices selected shall be capable of measuring flows with a
maximum deviation of less than 10 percent from true flow, accurately calibrated at a minimum of
once per year, and maintained to ensure that the accuracy of the measurements is consistent with the
accepted capability of that type of device. Records of flow measurement device calibration shall be
kept on file by the Permittee for a period of at least three years. At a minimum, data to be included in

Flow 0.160 MGD
BADS (S-day, 20°C) 10 mg/1
N113 as N 4 mg/1
TSS 20 mg/l
Fecal Coliform 14 per 100 ml b 43 per 100 nil
The effluent pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9.0 standard units.
a
Monthly averages for all but fecal coliform shall be the arithmetic mean of all samples collected
