Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control. Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. MassJDay Measure a. The "monthly average discharge: is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month. on. which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic 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 "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. h. The "weekly average discharge" :ls defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday -Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, 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 day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. c. The ''maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during n calendar day. If only one 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 l+ermi.t. Part 11 Page 12 of 14 d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sample and/or measured 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 limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part 1 of the permit. 6. Concentration Measure ent a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges samples and/or measured during a calendar month. on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the. daily concentration values). The daily concentration. value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted byflow value) of all the. samples collected during that calendar day. The average. monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part T. of the permit_ b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations ofall daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled end measured divided bythe number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samplescollected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified. as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part 1 of the permit. c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Deily Concentration". Tt is identified as "Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. Part II Page 13 of 14 d. The "average annual concentration, other than for fecal coiiform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration. values). The. daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case, of grab samples is the arithmetic, mean (weighted. by. flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is identified. as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part 1 of the permit. e. The "daily minimum concentration" (for dissolved oxygen only) is the minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge. It is identified, as "Daily. Minimum" under "Other Limits" in Part 111 of the permit. 7. Other Measurements a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in. this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged. monthly. It is determined as 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 boththe sample and flow will be representative of the, total discharge- 8. TYpes of Samples a. 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 betweeneffluent 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. b.

The permit as modified or reissued under this paragraph shall also contain any other requirements .in the Act then applicable. F. Toxicity Reopener 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. G. The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity tests, using test procedures outlined in: 1.) 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 99% (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 TGP3B.

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 single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above, 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 limits. 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 noncompliance with monitoring requirements. H. The permittee shall properly connect to an operational publicly owned wastewater collection system within 180 days of its availability to the site, if the facility is in noncompliance with its permit effluent limitations for three consecutive months.

Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressedin this permit is the 24. hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the. arithmetic mean, of the total daily flows recorded during. the calendar month. b. An. "instantaneous flow measurement" is n measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when. both the sample and flow will be representative, of the total discharge. R. n. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at equal intervals and combined proportional to. flow, n sample continuously collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes token at varying time. intervals, If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the, following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab samples shall he no grenter 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 cnse, 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 samples less than four during any discharge period of 24 hours or less. b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samplescollected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be. taken manually. 9. Calculation of Means a. 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 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). 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. 1„C» Cal atdaa 1) A calendar- dais is dit+ of tlt nextday, ll period that: r a onal>lg Hazard t ubstanc> A hazardous pursuant t 1.

NC0041785, Gaston County The recently revised North Carolina Water Quality Regulations (15 NCAC 28 .0211 [L] jC) state that if an "Actton Level" is determined by the wasteload allocation to be exceeded under design low flow conditions, efforts shall. be made by all dischargers to reduce or eliminate these substances from their effluents. The levels of zinc and copper in ROMAC's discharge, which is. to a zero flow stream, far exceed the action levels for these substances of 50 ug/1 and 7 ug/l, respectively. Levels of copper have been detected as high as 2000 ug/1 and zinc concentrations have exceeded 700 ug/l- Therefore, per the regu- lation referenced above, a special condition shall be, placed in their NPDES permit to require reduction. efforts. The following wording is suggested: "Levels of copper and. zinc have. been detected in the subject permittee's effluent far in excess of that necessary to maintain the Action Levels for these substances asprescribed in Title 15 of the. North Carolina Administrative. Code, Section 2B .0211 (L) (4). Therefore, the permittee shall undertake, all reaso- nable measures necessary to reduce or eliminate these. substances from its effluent. Within 60 days from the issuance of this permit, the permittee shall submit a plan to the Water Quality Section of the Division of Environmental Management outlining what steps will be taken to reduce or eliminate copper and zinc from the discharge. The plan shall also include a time schedule for these steps to be completed."

Directions. -For each parameter listed, complete the information requested in each column in the units specified according to the instnrctions given below. Column f. -Enter the daily average value of the intake water at the point it enters the facility. If intake water is from more than one source, and enters the facility at separate entry points, the value given in column I should be weighted proportional to the quantity of flow contributed from each source. If water is treated before use, completion of this column is not required (see instructions for column 2). Values of intake are not required for mining activities. Column 2.-If all or part of intake water is treated before use, provide values for total intake here instead of in Column 1, Also describe briefly in item 26 "additional information," the type of treatment performed on intake water (e.g., rapid sand filtration, coagulation, flocculation, ion exchange, etc.) and the percent of intake water contributing to this discharge that has been treated. Column 3 -Supply daily average value for the days when discharge is actually operating or is expected to be operat- ing (a new discharge). Daily average values are to be com- puted by weighting the daily value in proportion to the daily flow. If a discharge occurs irregularly, the value supplied in the column marked "Daily Average" should represent an average for the average for the days the discharge actually occurs. Average values are not to be supplied for pH, specific conductance, and bacteriological parameters (e.g., coliform bacteria). Columns 4 and 5.-Supply minimum and maximum value observed (or expected for new discharge) over any one day when the discharge is operating. Column 6. -Specify the average frequency of analysis for each parameter as number analyses per number of days (e.g., "3(7" is equivalent to three analyses performed every 7 days). If continuous, enter "CONT." When analyses are conducted on more than one individual grab sample col- lected during the same day, the analysis frequency should reflect one analysis whose value is the average of the individual grab sample measurements. Average frequency should be based on an operating month. Column 7.-Specify the number of analyses performed at the average frequency specified in column 6, up to 365. Column 8 --Specify sample type as follows: G For grab sample (individual sample collected in less than 15 minutes). #C For composite sample "#" is to be replaced ?y average number of hours over which the cote, sample was collected. Composite samples .+rc binations of individual samples obtained di over a time period.

Do no, enter descriptors such as "NIL, "TRACE," "NEC,"" etc.. for this purpose. if it is your reasoned judgement that one more of the required parameters' is not present in the initial untreated or treated process water and/or the discharg enter an "A" (meaning "absent") in the appropriate space. In order for values reported to be representative, it is recommended that they be based on from at least five to seven analyses of composite samples (if applicable). Each of the composite samples should be obtained by compositing frequent samples in proportion to flow over an operating day. Samples should be taken during period of maximum production, if possible, if samples are taken at periods of less than maximum production, state in "Remarks" the percent of maximum production that was obtained during the sampling period.

The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected during 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. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. M 5 Part I 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 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. Not less than four equal volume influent or effluent portions collected over a period of 24 hours at intervals proportional to the flow. g• An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow. Grab Sample: A "grab sample" is a single influent or effluent portion which is not a composite sample. The sample(s) shall be collected at the period(s) most representative of the total discharge. 4. Test Procedures Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published pursuant to N. C. G.

The monthly average, other than for fecal colifcrrm 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 during 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. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. 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 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. (2) Not less than four equal volume influent or effluent portions collected over a period of 24 hours at intervals proportional to the flow. g• (3) An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow.
