SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A (2). CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QUATERLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina
Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised November 1995, or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is 90%
(defined as treatment two in the procedure document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this
procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The tests will be performed 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. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-1
(original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Water Quality
4401 Reedy Creek Rd.
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association
with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be
measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee
will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit
number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the
form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
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 the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, 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 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, shall constitute an invalid test and will
require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial
monitoring.
