(2) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY) [15A NCAC 02B.0200] The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90%. The permit holder shall perform(at a minimum) quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the"North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure,"Revised December 2010, or subsequent versions or"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-December 2010) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September, and December. These months signify therst month of each three-month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent samplingffo'r-Pthis testing must be obtained during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed,at'the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.If the test procedure performed as the first test of any ssingle quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit,then multiple-concentration testing s hal=1 be'ierformed at a mi'n imum, in each of the two following months as described in"North Carolina'Phase II Chronic Whole,Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"(Revised-December 2010) or subsequent versions. 40 All toxicity testing results required as part of this permitccondit o swill be entered'onithe Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form(MR-1) for themonths in which tests were performed,using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results andwTElP3`B-for the Chronic, owing Value.
