Effluent sampling for this 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 single quarter results in
failure or ChV below the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be
performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North
Carolina Phase H Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -December
