toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent samplingffo'r-Pthis testing must be obtained
during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed,at'the NPDES permitted final effluent
discharge below all treatment processes.If the test procedure performed as the first test of any ssingle quarter results in a failure or ChV below the
permit limit,then multiple-concentration testing s hal=1 be'ierformed at a mi'n imum, in each of the two
following months as described in"North Carolina'Phase II Chronic Whole,Effluent Toxicity Test
