The discharge from this facility shall not cause turbidity in the receiving stream to exceed 50 NTU. If the instream turbidity exceeds 50 NTU due to natural background conditions, the discharge cannot cause turbidity to increase in the receiving stream. 3. Limit takes effect September 1, 2005. Until then, the permittee shall monitor TRC (with no effluent limit). 4. See A. (2) for Total Nitrogen monitoring and reporting requirements. All samples collected should be from a representative discharge event. There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. A. (2) CALCULATION OF TOTAL NITROGEN LOADS a. The Permittee shall calculate quarterly and annual TN Loads as follows: i. Quarterly TN Load (pounds/quarter) = TN x TQF x 8.34 where: TN = TQF = 8.34 = average Total Nitrogen concentration (mg/L) of the samples collected during the quarter Total Quarterly Flow of wastewater discharged during the calendar quarter (MG/qtr) conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds ii. Annual TN Load (pounds/year) = Sum of the four Quarterly TN Loads for the calendar year b. The Permittee shall report quarterly Total Nitrogen results (mg/L and pounds/quarter) in the final discharge monitoring report for each quarter and shall report each year's results (pounds/year) with the December report for that year.

The chlorine contained in the filter backwash will probably dissipate in the lagoon while waiting to be discharged. We will not recommend a chlorine limit for this facility. The permit can be renewed in accordance with the basinwide permit.
