5. MassMay easurem nts
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 dairy 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 ;pe °t.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass' of all daily discharges
sampledand/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
dilring 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.

calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I
of the permit. , _
g calendar quarter is defined as one of the fallowing distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.

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. Flaw shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when
there may be no flaw or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flaw device.

a° Composite Sample; A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a seriesof 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

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 near the number of samples less than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Crab Sample: Crab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 toes; the b sample can be taken manually.

a. The "monthly average discharge. is defined as the total mess of all
daily dischargessampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges samples 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 "Daily Average" or "Monthly Average" in Part I of the
permit.
b. e "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 samples 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 them
dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This
limitation is identified a "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,
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all
daily discharges sample 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.

of the total daily flaws recorded during the calendar month.
An "instantaneous flora 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.
pes of Samples
Composite Sample: 'These samples consist of grab samples collected at
equal intervals and combined proportional to flaw, a sample continuously
collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time
intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the
following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab
samples shall be no greater than hourly except wherethedetention time
of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in 'which
case, the interval between ;grab samples shall be no ,greater in number of
hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in
no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six
hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge
period of 24 hours or less.
Grab Sample: Grab samples areindividualsamples collected over a
period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken
manually.
