identified in this permit more frequently than or at a level in
excess of that authorized shall constitute a violation of the
permit. Any anticipated facility expansions, production increases,
or process modifications which will result in new, different, or
increased discharges of pollutants must be reported by submission
of a new NPDES application or, if such changes will not violate the
effluent limitations specified in this permit, by notice to the DEM
of such changes. Following such notice, the permit may be modified
to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited.

operate as efficiently as possible all treatment or control facili-
ties or systems installed or used by the permittee to achieve com-
pliance with the.terms and conditions of this permit.
3. Adverse Impact
The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize any adverse
impact to navigable waters resulting from noncompliance with any
effluent limitations specified in this permit, including such accel-
erated or additional monitoring as necessary to determine the nature
and impact of the noncomplying discharge.
4. Bypassing
Any diversion from or bypass of facilities necessary to maintain com-
-pliance with the terms and conditions of this permit is prohibited,
except (i) where unavoidable to prevent loss of life or severe
property damage, or (ii) where excessive storm drainage or runoff
would damage any facilities necessary -for compliance with the
effluent limitations and prohibitions of this permit. The permittee

each such diversion or bypass.
5.. Removed.Substances.
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the

Definitions
a. 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).
