report the same data for parameters BOD (00310), Fecal Coliform (31616), Ammonia (00610), and TSS (00530) as reported for Permit No. NC0024147 (i.e., no additional monitoring),
2. Sampling shall occur during months in which reclaimed water is distributed/utilized. If no reclaimed water is utilized during an entire calendar month, the NDMR should be recorded as "no flow
generated" submitted for that month.
