The facility map has been updated. 2. Regulatory citations have been added. 3. Electronic reporting of discharge monitoring reports (eDMR)has been added in Section A. (6.). 4. The sample types for Oil&Grease,pH and Temperature have been mdicated as grab. 5. A new parameter Free Oil Visual Sheen[51689] has been added to the effluent tables for Outfalls 001, 002 and 005 to record visual inspection of the tailrace.Monitoring for this parameter is at least once per quarter by estimate. See footnote 3 m the permit for more information. 6. For Outfalls 001,002 and 005,Footnote 4 has been added as a new requirement: If oil sheen or visible foam(other than trace amounts)are present,monitoring of the following parameters is required until presence of oil or foam is abated: pH and O&G. 7. For Outfalls 001, 002 and 005,Footnote 5 has been added indicating that BMPs can be employed in lieu of monitoring. 8. For Outfalls 003 and 004, semi-annual monitoring has been indicated for Temperature and pH. 9. Special Condition A. (5.) for Use of Biocides has been added.
