a. TI rnorth1y average discharge: is dnfinedas the total is of all
daily discharges. sampled and/or measured during n calendar month on
which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges samples and/or measured during stroll month, It is
therefore, anarithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month. and then dividing this sum. by
the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is
identified as "Daily Average" or "Monthly Average" in Pat I of the
permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of
all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week
(Snnday-Saturday) on which. daily discharges are sampled andmeastiTed,
divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured.
during such week, It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by
adding the weights of pollutants found each dayof the week. and then
dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This
limitation is ideririfiQd as "Weekly Average," in PA1:t T of the pc.m7mt
c. The "maximum daily discharge" Is the total mass (weight) of a
pollutant discharged during caleudal day If only 0i1 sample is
taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from
it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as
"Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined. as the total mass of n11
daily discharges sample and/or me,asured during the calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number
of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is,
therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of
pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing. this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported, This limit8tion is defined as
"Annual Average" in Part 1 of the pPrmiL.

7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours
average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined A.S the arithmetic mean
of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time
of sampling, when both the sample and flow will he representative of the
total discharge.
Types,of Sampjes
a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at
equal intervals and combined proportional toflow, n sample, continuously
collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken nt 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 he greater than six
hours nor the number of grab samplesless than, four during any discharge,
period of 24 hours or less,
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a
period of time not exceeding. 15. minutes; the grab sample can be taken
manually.
9. Calculation of Means
e. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set: of values is the summation,
of the individual values divided by the, number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The, geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of
the product of the individual values whore N is equal to the number of
individual values, The. geometric mean, is equivalent to the nntilog 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 times its respective, flow divided by the summation of the
respective flows.

of the Clean Water Act, if the effluent guideline. ar water quality standard.
so. issued Or approved:
1. contains different conditions or is otherwise mnre stringent than any
effluent limitation in the permit; or
2. controls any pollutant not limited in the. permit.
The permit as modified or reissued under this paragraph shill alsocontain. any
other requirements in the Act then. applicable.

F. Toxicity Reopener
Part TIT
Permit No. NC0006513
This permit shall be modified, or revoked and reissued to
incorporate toxicity limitations and monitoring requirements in the
event toxicity testing or other studies conducted on the effluent or
receiving stream indicate that detrimental effects may be expected
in the receiving stream as a result of this discharge.
C. Chronic Toxicity Testing Requirement
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity
using test procedures outlined in:
I. The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay
procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised
*February 1987) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable
inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is 997 (defined
as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The
permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this
procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The
first test will be performed after thirty days from issuance of this
permit during the months of January, April, July and October.
Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES
permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit
condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form
(MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TCP313. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to
the following address:
Technical Services Branch
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management
PO Box 27687
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting
chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the
toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and
reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste
stream.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests
performed by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management
indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may
be reopened and modified to include alternate monitoring
requirements or limitations.
Note: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited
document, such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate
environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will
require immediate retesting (within 30 days of initial monitoring
event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute a
failure of permit conditions.
