Paul,
If you have had 3 consecutive results under the benchmark, you may return to semi-annual monitoring. The best way to
treat the Tier response system is to view the Tier 1, 2, and 3 responses as cumulative. Tier 2 dictates when you can
return to semi-annual sampling.
The second action outlined in Tier 2 states:
"Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct monthly
monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive samples.
Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample results are below the
benchmark values or within benchmark range."
This condition applies to Tier 3 as well. All three samples were below the benchmark in the previous permit (note, the
zinc benchmark has increased since the recent renewal in November 2018), and this satisfied the criterion to drop back
to semi-annual sampling.
Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions,
Isaiah

Subject: FW: Request to ARO for Monitoring Relief
Paul,
I see this letter went to Landon Davidson, who is the Regional Supervisor for DWR. It should have gone to Stan Aiken,
who is Regional Supervisor for DEMLR. The Stormwater Program moved out of the Division of Water Resources back in
2013 over to DEMLR, so I know that may have been confusing. This may be the reason for no response to date. I am
forwarding this facility's request for monthly monitoring relief to Stan Aiken at the ARO so his staff can address this
request. I am also copying Isaiah Reed, the ARO's primary contact for Stormwater.
In Tier 2, a facility can automatically resume semi-annual monitoring after three consecutive results below benchmark,
but I understand from this letter that the facility was in Tier 3 -- and hence the request to the RO for relief. Is that
correct?
Best regards,
Bethany Georgoulias

Ms. Georgoulias (Bethany,
Attached is the letter and supporting documentation that were sent by Morganton Pressure Vessels to be relieved from
monthly sampling due to corrective actions that resulted in three consecutive non-exceedances. Morganton Pressure
Vessels was expecting a response from the regional office as per the permit.

Please advise if further information or action is needed.
