stream impairment can be attributed to your facility, then mitigative measures may be
required".
• TRC language for Compliance Level for Cover Letters/Effluent Sheet Footnote:
"The facility shall report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC certified laboratory
including field certified. However, effluent values below 50 ug/1 will be treated as zero
for compliance purposes."
