The monthly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected in a one -month period. The monthly average for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -month period. b. The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected during a one -week period. The weekly average for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -week period. c. Flow, M3/day (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24-hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. d. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of indi- vidual values. e. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the indi- vidual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1). PART II A. MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS 1.
