MONITORING AND REPORTING 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. 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, 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: Division of Environmental Management Water Quality Section ATTN: Central Files Post Office Box 27687 Raleigh, NC 27611 . Definitions a. Act or "the Act": The Federal Water Pollution Control 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 for fecal conform 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 all samples collected in one calendar week (Sun -Sat). H 5 Permit to. IN C 0 0] L 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. H 6 Permit No. INICI0101 4.

Additional Monitoring by Permittee If the permittee monitors any pollutant at the location(s) designated herein more frequently than required by this permit, using approved analytical methods as specified above, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the values is required in the DMR. Such increased frequency shall also be indicated. The DEM may require more frequent monitoring or the monitoring of other pollutants not required in this permit by written notification. 7. Records Retention All records and information resulting from the monitoring activities required by this Permit including all records of analyses performed and calibration and maintenance of instrumentation and recordings from continuous monitoring instrumentation shall be retained for a minimum of three (3) years.
