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 where the detention 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. j.

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 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 ( during a 24 hour sampling period. » Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15minutes; the grab sample can be takenrn a y. . Calculation cif M s a Arithmetic Mean: Ile arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Pan I[[ Page 4 of 1 b. GeometricMean: 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 " es its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective _ flows. 10.
