The permittee shall achieve compliance with the effluent limitations specified for discharges in accordance with the foillowing schedule: NOT ApPUCABLE 2. No later than 14 calendar days following a date identified in the above schedule of compliance, the permittee shall submit either a report of progress or, in the case of specific actions being required by identified dates, a written notice of compliance or noncompliance. In the latter case, the notice shall include the cause of noncompliance, any remedial actions taken, and the probability of meeting the next scheduled requirement. C. MONITORING AND REPORTING 11. 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 Vater 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 "daily average" discharge means the total discharge by weight during a calendar month divided by the number of days in the month that the production or commercial facility was operating. Where less than daily sampling is required by this permit, the daily average discharge shall be determined by the summation of all the measured daily discharges by weight divided by the number of days sampled during the calendar month when the measurements were made. c. The "daily maximum" discharge means the total discharge weight during any calendar day. 15 d. DEM or Division: Management, Department Development. means the Division of Environmental of Natural Resources and Community 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 gea,metric 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 co posite 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. 16 4. Test Procedures Test procedures for theanalysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published pursuant. to N.C.G.S. 143-215.63 et seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Act, and to regulations published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, As Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136. 5. Recording Results For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirements of this permit, the permittee shall record the following information. a. The exact place, date, and time of sampling; b. The dates the analyses were performed; and c. The person(s) who performed the analyses. 6. AdditionalMonitoring by Permittee tt:ee 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 UMR. 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 wri ::ten 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 shill be retained for a minimum of three (3) years. This period of retention shall be extended during the course of any unresolved litigation or if requested by the Divisionof Environmental Management or the Regional Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. 17 PART II GENERAL CONDITIONS A. MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS 1, Change in Discharge All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant identified in this permit more frequently than or at a level in excess of that authorized shall constitute a violation of the permit. Any anticipated facility expansions, production increases, or process modifications which will result in new, different, or increased discharges of pollutants must be reported by submission of a new NPDES application. or, if such changes will not violate the effluent limitations specified in this permit, by notice to the DEM of such changes. Following such notice, the permit may be modified to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited. . Noncompliance Notification.
