All permits require qualitative monitoring to be performed during a "measurable storm event."
A "measurable storm event" is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site
outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-how storm
interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for
local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR
Regional Office.

and 5 is very cloudy:
10 2 3 4 5
5. Floating Solids: Choose the number which best describes the amount of floating solids inthe
stormwater discharge, where 1 is no solids and 5 is the surface covered with floating solids:
0 2 3 4 5
6. Suspended Solids: Choose the number which best describes the amount of suspended solids in
the stormwater discharge, where 1 is no solids and 5 is extremely muddy:

indicative of pollutant exposure. These conditions warrant further investigation.
