Regional Surface Water Supervisors l roin; Cindy Moore Aquatic Toxicity Unit Through: Jay ;Sau'ber ESS Section Chief Subject: Aquatic toxicity monitoring second quarter update 2012-2013 The Aquatic Toxicology Unit (ATU) serves the state of North Carolina through its support of the EPA mandated National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) as it pertains to the Clean Water Act (CWA) established. in 1,972, ATU employs NPDES compliance and enforcement reviews, biological laboratory certification and Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) monitoring in its effort to support this program. ATU has made a commitment to EPA to monitor 10% of major and 5% of minor facilities in North Carolina for 2012-2013 with an overall goal of monitoring all major facilities_ within a 10-year neiiod.. The monitoringrequire meta for each regional office appears in the table: below.

Please indicate split tests on the sample collection forins and remember to include the identity of helabci�nevg the split. This is critical in order for ATU to identify and evaluate the split samples. Also ensure that the sample collection form submitted to ATU and the, chain of custody submitted to the contract lab has matching sample type (composite vs. grab, type of composite), sampling times, and sample collector information. ATU uses only "trite" splits for certified laboratory evaluations. Tnie splits originate from a single grab or composite sample and are split into 2 representative aliquots for analysis by ATU and the other- laboratory. Regional office staff should make every effort to perform the sample split themselves or, at the very least, be present Nvben the sample is split by facility staff unless extenuating circumstances (i.e, late sample collection times, etc.) would make it impractical. It should be noted on the sample collection form if the regional office staff is not present at the time of the sample split. 2. With the adoption of the new chromic; toxicity sampling schedule on January 1", 2011, samples may now be collected earlier than 1000 hours. We do request notification, however, if a sample is to be collected earlier than 0600 hours. The maximum holding time for chronic toxicity samples is 36 hours for first use and 72 hours from first use for test renewals The maximum holding time is 36 hours for acute toxicity samples. The holding time for composite scruples begins at the time of completion of the 24-fir composite. 3. If a facility representative is present at the sample collection, print the name of the facility representative and identity them as a facility representative on the sample collection form. The facility representative should also sign the forin. 4. If the sample is a tined composite, mark the number of samples collected per hour, if the sample is a flow proportional composite, indicate this on the sheet. 5. Its the conirnents section, indicate whether the sample was; collected using the regional office staff equipment or the facility collection equipment. 6. sample collection material may be tempered glass, polyethylene, pertluorocarbon plastics including Tefion'�, 304 or 316 stainless steel, polypropylene, polyvinyichloride, Tygon`11; or silicone. All non-perfluorocarbon plastics should be discarded after use. DWQ staff should not reuse non-perfiuorocarbon plastics (polypropylene, LDPE, IIDP , polyvinyleMoride, etc.) at different facilities for collecting effluent samples. Tempered glass and perfluorocarbon (Teflon"') plastics may be reused after bioassay cleaning. 7. All samples should be iced during collection and transport to ensure a sample holding temperature of <6°C. Be stye to completely fill the coolers with ice and use large coolers whenever possible. This is particularly crucial for dripping samples during warm weather months. Also, please notify, ATU staff if samples are being mailed in multiple coolers. DEQ-CFW 00056625
