Part II Page 1 of 14 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS SECTION A. DEFINITIONS 1. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Environmental Management. 2. DEM or Division Means the Division of Environmental Management; Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources. 3. EMC Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. 4. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act; as amended, 33 US 1251, et. seq. 5. Mass/Day Measurements a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore,'an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the ,total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the' "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is , identified as 'Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit. Part II Page 2 of 14 d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit. 6. Concentration Measurement a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part -I of the permit. b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the'permit. c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as 'Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of Part 1. Part II Page 3 of 14 The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit. g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. 7. Other Measurements a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually, except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. 8. Tvves� of Samples a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of: (1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow. In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period. b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. 9. Calculation of Means a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Part II Page 4 of 14 b. 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 individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1). c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. 10. Calendar Day A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. I I. Hazardous Substance A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part, 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. 12. Toxic Pollutant A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. SECTION B. GENERAL CONDITION$ 1. Duty to Comply The permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act and is ground for enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit renewal application. a. The permittee shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under section 307(a) of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants within the time provided in the regulations that establish these standards or prohibitions, even if the permit has not yet been modified to incorporate the requirement. b. Any person who violates a permit condition is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $25,000 per day for each violation. Any person who negligently violates any permit condition is subject to criminal penalties of $2,500 to $25,000 per day of violation, or imprisonment for not more than 1 year, or both.

The conditions, requirements, terms,. and provisions of this permit authorizing discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System govern discharges from this facility. Pursuant to Chapter 90A-44 of North Carolina General Statutes, the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in responsible charge (ORC) of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities. The permittee shall notify the Division's Operator Training and Certification Unit within five days of any change in the ORC status. Part H Page 8 of 14 2. Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit. It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit. 4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities a. Definitions (1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion ' of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. (2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production. b. Bypass not exceeding limitations. The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section. c. Notice (1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass. (2) Unanticipated bypass.- The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24-hour notice). d. - Prohibition of Bypass (1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass, unless: (a) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; Part H Page 9 of 14 (b) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and (c) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section. (2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) of this section. 5. Upsets a. Definition. "Upset= " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. b. Affect of an upset. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action -brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review. c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset. A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that: (a) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset; (b) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and (c) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit. (d) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this permit. d. Burden of proof. In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has the burden of proof. w Part H Page 10 of 14 6. Removed Substances Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of wastewaters shall be disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United States. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge, and with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge when promulgated. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503, any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the disposal of sludge may be reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices. 7. Power Failures The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM Regulation, Title 15, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability, to prevent the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent. SECTION D. MONITORING AND RECORDS 1. Representative Sampling Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than daily shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire period which the sample represents. All samples shall be taken at the monitoring points specified in this permit and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins or is. diluted by any other wastestream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed without notification to and the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority. 2. Reporting Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and reported on a monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form (DEM No. MR 1,11, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director, DEM, postmarked no later than the 30th day following the completed reporting period. The first DMR is due on the last'day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of discharge. Duplicate signed copies of these, and all other reports required herein, shall be submitted to the following address: Division of Environmental Management Water Quality Section ATTENTION: Central Files Post Office Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 Part II Page 11 of 14 3. Flow Measurements Appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted scientific practices shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of monitored discharges. The devices shall be installed, calibrated and maintained to ensure that the accuracy of the measurements are consistent with the accepted capability of that type of device.

North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.1(c) requires that an application for permit renewal.be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration date. As of the date of this letter, the Division of Environmental Management had not received an application for renewal. If operation of a discharge or waste treatment facility is to occur after the permit's expiration date, or if continuation of the permit is desired, it must not be allowed to expire. A renewal request must be submitted no later than 180 days prior to the permit's expiration date. Operation of the waste treatment works or continuation of a discharge after the expiration date would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day. If continuation of the permit is desired, failure to request. renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration.will result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00; larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request. A renewal application shall consist of the following information: 1. A letter requesting the renewal. 2. The completed application form (copy attached), signed and submitted in triplicate, referenced in Title 15 of North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC) Subchapter 2H .0105(a). 3. A processing fee (see attached schedule) in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0105(b). The application processing fee 'is based on the design.or permitted flow, whichever is appropriate, listed.in the first categories of facilities. 4. Primary industries listed in Appendix A of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 122 shall also submit a priority pollutant analysis in.accordance with.Part 122.21. 5. Facilities which.have not been constructed within the last permit cycle and are therefore, considered "new" facilities, shall also submit an Engineering Alternatives Analysis, referenced in 15A NCAC'Subchapter 2H .0103 and Subchapter 2B .0201(c). 6. If the facility covered by this permit contains some type of treatment works, a narrative description of the sludge management plan must be submitted with the application for the renewal. In addition to penalities referenced above, a permit renewal request received after the expiration date will be considered as a new application and will require the higher application fee. 15A NCAC 2H .0105(b)(2) requires payment of an annual Administrative and Compliance Monitoring fee for most permitted facilities. You will be billed separately for that fee (if applicable), after your permit is approved. The letter requesting renewal; the completed Permit application, and appropriate fee should be sent to: Permits and Engineering Unit Division of Environmental Management Post Office Box 29535 - Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 The check should be'made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and -Natural Resources which may be abbreviated as DEHNR.

Martin, Governor . George T. Everett, Ph.D. William W. Cobey, Jr., Secretary Director May 24, 1991 Mr. Barry W: Henry Red Fox Country Club Route 1 Tryon, North Carolina 28782 Subject: Chlorine Toxicity NDPES Permit No. NCO065242-Red Fox Country Club Polk County Dear Mr. Henry: Chlorine, a widely used wastewater disinfectant for the treatment of coliform organisms, often remains instream in residual amounts that may prove to be toxic under critical low stream flow conditions. In the last decade, EPA assessed the potential adverse effects of chlorine to the aquatic environment and has taken steps to reduce the impacts through the development of federal criteria. In 1986, EPA recommended that all states have a chlorine standard by their next triennial review of water quality standards. In revising its water quality standards in 1989, North -Carolina developed an action level for chlorine of 17 µg/l (freshwater classes only).�,In addition, the fecal coliform limit was reduced from 1000 colonies/100 ml to 200 colonies/100 ml. Under a new DEM procedure, dechlorination and chlorine limit's are now,recommended for all" new or expanding dischargers proposing the use of chlorine for effluent disinfection. The Division is reviewing chlorine levels from all existing dischargers as part of its'NPDES permit renewal process.. Our records indicate that chlorine, from your facility's effluent -discharge may be toxic to aquatic life in the receiving stream under low flow conditions; Le.,�the amount of chlorine discharged causes ,an exceedance of the instream criteria for chlorine (17 µg/1 for chronic effects and 28 µg/l for acute effects) under 7Q10 conditions (the lowest average daily flow for seven (7) consecutive days during a ten (10) year period). Action should be taken to reduce the effluent concentration of chlorine toan acceptable level: An acceptable level of chlorine in your effluent is 28 µg/l, or 0.028 mg/L If this level is not feasible, yop4 should consider dechlorination-or alternate methods of disinfection for your facility to ensure that both chlorine and bacterial limits are met. In addition, if your facility plans to undertake any phase of construction, dechlorination or, alternate disinfection should be included. However, please note that an authorization to construct must be obtained from this Division prior to any alteration to your treatment plant. Pollution Prevention"- Pays P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687 Telephone 919-733-7015 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer -2- The Division is currently reviewing its water quality regulations pertaining to chlorine. In the future, effluent limits and/or dechlorination may be required of existing facilities with chlorine problems. If the chlorine levels in your facility's effluent remain unchanged, a chlorine limit or whole effluent toxicity requirement may be added to your permit limitations. - Please feel free to call Mr. Forrest Westall of the Asheville Regional Office at (704) 251-6452, if you have any questions or comments regarding this issue.

A small amount of domestic waste will be generated from a small hotel and 11 one or two restaurants. No industrial process waste or cooling waters areexpected to be discharged into.this system. POSED TREATMENT WORKS R. DANIEL LOOPER P.E. ROY HUSSEY P.E. BENJAMIN E. GAY P.E. GUS H. BELL P.E. RICHARD B. DeYOUNG P.E. JERRY L. MILLER ARCH. The proposed treatment works will consist of two parallel 4091OOO gpd package waste treatment plants utilizing the activated sliidge process. It is anticipated that one 40,000 gpd treatment plant will be installed initially and the second plant will be in"tailed when the flows approach capacity for. the 40,000 gpd plant. Effluent discharged from the proposed treatment works is expected to�have.no more than 30 mg/liter BOD and' 30 mg/liter suspended solids. LOCATION I Attached to this report is a Xerox copy of part of a USGS quladrangle map entitled Landrum South.Carolina-North Carolina provisional additional 1983.

PARTNERSHIP C/O P.O. DRAWER 14 HILTON HEAD ISL, SC 29938 Subject: NPDES PERMIT NO. NCO064939 POLK COUNTY Dear Permittee: The subject permit issued on 4/24/86 expires on 3/31/91. North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.1(c) requires that an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration date. As of the date of this letter, the Division of Environmental Management had not received an application for renewal. If operation of a discharge or waste treatment facility is to occur after the permit's expiration date, or if continuation of the permit is desired, it must not be allowed to expire. A renewal request must be submitted no later than 180 days prior to the permit's expiration date. Operation of the waste treatment works or continuation of a discharge after the expiration date would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day. If continuation of the permit is desired, failure to request renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration will result in a civil assessment of at least $300 00• larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request. A renewal application shall consist of a letter requesting permit renewal along with the appropriate completed and signed application form (copy attached), submitted in triplicate, referenced in Title 15 of the North Carolina Administrative Code (15 NCAC) Subchapter 2H .0105(a). Primary industries listed in Appendix A of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 122 shall also submit a priority pollutant analysis in accordance with Part 122.21. A processing fee must be submitted with the application. In addition to penalties referenced above, a permit renewal request received after the expiration date will be considered as a new application and will require the higher application fee. Water Quality Section JUN22_1990 ,Asheville RegionakOffice ,Asfievilae, North Carolina Attached is a copy of the fee schedule from 15 NCAC 2B.0105(b). The application processing fee is based on the design or permitted flow, whichever is appropriate, listed in the first five categories of facilities. -Presently, no facility is allowed to submit a fee for the general permits listed in the schedule since the Environmental Protection Agency has not approved the State of North Carolina's general permit. If the facility covered by this permit contains some type of treatment works, a narrative description of the sludge management plan must be submitted with the application for renewal. The Environmental Management Commission adopted rules on August 1, 1988, requiring the payment of an annual fee for most permitted facilities (see attached 15 NCAC 2H .0105(b) regulations). You will be billed separately for that fee (if applicable), after your permit is approved. The letter requesting renewal, the completed Permit application, and appropriate fee should be sent to: Permits and Engineering Unit Division of Environmental Management Post Office Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687 The check should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources which may be abbreviated as DEHNR.

The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions. The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is L•O °10 (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform quarterJy monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance' -with the permit condition. The. first test will be performed after thirty days from issuance of this permit during the months of A,,V 'OV4 a cT . Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1(original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Environmental Management P.O. Box 27687 Raleigh, N.C. 27611 Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements. performed in -Association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to die receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements. 7Q10 619 cfs Permited Flow o.oy MGD ;RRmmended by: IWC%oBasin & Sub -basin wda Receiving Stream �� C^t� �County ?U41(_ PI-It/to **Chronic Toxicity (Ceriodaplinia) P/F at —o %, AV,#r?-VM OcIr, See Part _, Condition -CO: PERMITS AND ENC ,EKING UNIT WATER QUALITY Sr�%.iION DATE: September\V, 1990 NPDES_STAFF REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION COUNTY Polk PERMIT NUMBER NC0064939 PART I - GENERAL INFORMATION 1.
