C. MONITORING AND REPORTING
1. Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken as required herein

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.

Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form (DEM No. MR 1, 1.1,
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:

Act, also know as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 U.S.C.
1251, et. seq.
b. The monthly average, other than for fecal coliform
bacteria, is the arithmetic mean of all the samples
collected in one calendar month. The monthly average for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of samples
collected in one calendar month.
c. The weekly average, other than far fecal coliform
bacteria, is the arithmetic mean of all the samples
collected during one calendar week (Sun -Sat). The weekly
average for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of

d. DEM or Division: means the Division of Environmental
Management, Department of Natural Resources and Community
Development.
e. EMC: used herein means the North Carolina. Environmental
Management Commission.
f. 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.
g. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of
values is the summation of the individual values divided by
the number of individual values.
h. 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).
i. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples
collected at equal intervals and combined proportional to
flow, 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 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. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples
collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes;
the grab sample can be taken manually.

facility which results in the discharge of significant
amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or
characteristic, such as the dumping of the contents of a
sludge digester, the known passage of a slug of
hazardous substance through, the facility or any other
unusual circumstances.
b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown
reasons, that render the facility incapable of adequate
wastewater treatment, such as mechanical or electrical
failures of pumps, aerators, compressors, etc.
c. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or
treatment facility resulting in a by-pass directly to
receiving waters without treatment of all or any portion
of the influent to such station or facility.
d. Any time that self -monitoring information indicates
