be described where there are also discharges to surface waters from this facility. SEPARATE DESCRIPTIONS OF EACH DISCHARGE ARE
REQUIRED EVEN IF SEVERAL DISCHARGES ORIGINATE IN THE SAME FACILITY. All values for an existing discharge should be repre-
sentative of the twelve previous months of operation. If this is a proposed discharge, values should reflect best engineering estimates.

Directions. —For each parameter listed, complete the
information requested in each column in the units specified
according to the instructions given below:
Column L—Enter the' daily average value of the intake
water at the point it enters the facility. If intake water is
from more than one source, and enters the facility at
separate entry points, the value given in column 1 should be
weighted proportional to the quantity of flow contributed
from each source. If water is treated before use, completion
of this column is not required (see instructions for column
2). Values of intake are not required for mining activities.
Column Z—If all or part of intake water is treated before
use, provide values for total intake here instead of in
Column 1. Also describe briefly in item 26 "additional
information," the type of treatment performed on intake
water (e.g., rapid sand filtration, coagulation, flocculation,
ion exchange, etc.) and the percent of intake water.
contributing to this discharge that has been treated.
Column 3.—Supply daily average value for the days when
discharge is actually operating or is expected to be operat-
ing (a new discharge). Daily average values'are to be com-
puted by weighting the daily value in proportion to the daily.
flow. If a discharge, occurs irregularly, the value supplied
in the column marked "Daily Average" should represent
an average for the average for the days the discharge actually
occurs. Average values are not to be supplied for pH,
specific conductance, and bacteriological .parameters (e.g.,
coliform bacteria).
Columns 4 and 5.—Supply minimum and maximum value
observed (or expected for new discharge) over any one day
when the discharge is operating.
Column 6 —Specify the average frequency of analysis for
each parameter as number analyses per number of days (e.g.,
"3/7" is equivalent to three analyses performed every 7
days). If continuous, enter "CONT." When analyses are
conducted on more than one individual.: grab sample col-
lected during the same day, the analysis frequency should
reflect one analysis whose value is the average of the
individual grab sample measurements. Average frequency
should be based on an operating month.
Column 7. —Specify the number of analyses performed at
the average frequency specified in column 6, up to 365.
Column &—Specify sample type as follows:
G For .grab sample (individual sample. collected in less
5
than 15 minutes)..
.#C For composite sample "#" is to be replaced by the.
average number of hours over which the composite
sample was collected. Composite samples are com-
binations of individual samples obtained at intervals
over a time period. Either the volume of each in-
dividual sample is directly proportional to discharge
flow rates or the sampling interval (for constant -
volume samples) is inversely proportional to the
flow rates over the time period used to produc,: the
composite. t
NA If "CONT" was entered in column 6.
Analytical methods. —Appendix A contains all parameters
with their reporting levels, test descriptions, and references.
The parameter values can be determined either by use of one
of the standard analytical methods as described in table A or
by methods previously approved by the EPA Regional
Administrator or Director of a federally approved State
program (or their authorized representatives') whirl,
jurisdiction over the State in which the discharge occurs. If
the test used is not one shown in table A, the test procedure
should be referenced in "Remarks" or on a separate shceIf
values are determined to be less than the detectable limit (as
determined by referenced standard analytical techniques
and/or instrument manufacturer's literature), specy "LT
(value of detectable limit)" in the appropriate space. i-if,
example, if the detectable limit is .005 mg/1 and quantities
of less than this are determined, specify "LT .005." Do not
enter descriptors such as "NIL," "TRACE," "NEG," etc..
for this purpose. If it is your reasoned judgement that one or
more of the required parameters` is not present in the initial
untreated or treated process water and/or the discharge.
enter an "A" (meaning "absent") in the appropriate space.
In order for values reported to be representative, it is
recommended that they be based on from at least five to
seven analyses of composite samples (if applicable). Each of
the composite samples should be obtained by compositing
frequent samples in proportion to flow over an operating
day. Samples should be taken during period of maximum
production, if possible. If 'samples are taken at periods of
less than maximum production, state in "Remarks" the
percent of maximum production that was obtained during
the sampling period. -1;
