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 equiva- lent 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). f:."Composite Sample: A "composite sample" is -any of the following: (1) -Not less than four influent or effluent -portions collected at regular intervals -over a -period of'24 hours and composited in proportion to.flow.

The reminder regarding the Cleveland County Welcome Center (NPDES NC 0024830) was unnecessary however, as a request has been submitted and a draft copy of the permit received. Below you will find a list of those treatment facilities operated by the Division of Highways which our records and you have indicated permits are approaching expiration. Please accept this letter as our request to renew these permits according to established procedure.

C. MONITORING AND REPORTING 1. Representative Sampling Samples and measurements taken as required herein shall be representative of the volume and nature of the monitored discharge. 2. Reporting Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and reported on a Monthly Monitoring Report Form (DEM No. MR 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3), postmarked no later than the 45th day following the completed reporting period. The first report is due on AUG 15 1977 . 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 Post Office Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 3. 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 dur.ing.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. Ar.ithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the . summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. M5 Part I Page of Permit No. NC e. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root: of the product of the individual values where N i-s equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equiva- lent 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). f. Composite Sample: A "composite sample" is any of the following: (1) Not less than four influent or effluent portions collected at regular intervals over a period of 24 hours and.composited in proportion to flow.. (2) Not less.than four equal volume influent or effluent portions collected over a period of 24 hours at intervals proportional to the flow. (3) An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow. g.
