North Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream. this permit may be re-
•
opened 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, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls,
