' Monitoring requirements are set based on the pennitted flow (16,920 gpd) and type of treatment system (facultative lagoon). Note that if the pen -nit is modified to change flow and/or type of
treatment system in the future, monitoring requirements will be updated accordingly.
3 x Year sampling shall be conducted during March, July and November.
3 Monitoring frequency for Residual Chlorine and pH may be "per spray event" if irrigation occurs less than 5 days in one week.
