PART I <br />Page 3 of l3 <br />C. FOOTNOTES (continued) <br />b/ TDS shall be sampled on a monthly basis until six samples have boen analyzed. A report of 'No Discharge" <br />shall not be counted as one of the six samples. Thereafter, monitoring shall continue on a quarterly basis. <br />Following submittal of the initial six sets of monthly data, the Division shall deG:rmine whether the permittee is <br />required to submit a report addressing salt removal in accordance with Regulations For Implementation of the <br />Colorado River Salinity Standards Through the NPDES Permit Program, 3.10.0. If the salinity report is <br />required, the Division shall so advise the permittee by letter and the report shall be submitted within 180 days. <br />i/ 'ibis parameter is subject to 'Noncompliance Notification' requirements of Part II.A.3.(b)(v) of this permit. <br />j/ Procedure for determining settleable solids is contained in 40 CFR 434.64. The method detection limit for <br />measuring settleable solids under this part shall be 0.4 ml/1. - <br />k/ Should a precipitation event occur which is greater than the 10-year, 24-hour event, the permittee shall submit <br />rain gauge or other appropriate documentation in order for an exemption to be claimed. In lieu of such <br />documentation, limitations contained in Part I.A.I.(b), shall apply. Documentation shall be reported as an <br />attachment to the Discharge Monitoring Report for the appropriate period. <br />I/ When the most sensitive analytical method which complies with Part I.F.2. of th.e permit has a detection limit <br />greater than or equal to the permit limit, the permittee shall report 'less than the detectable limit," as <br />appropriate. Such reports shall not be considered as violations of the permit limit. <br />The present lowest method detection limits for specific parameters (which have limitations which are, in some <br />cases, less than or equal to the detection limit) are as follows: <br />Total Residual Chlorine 0.05 mg/1 <br />Total Recoverable Cadmium 0.0003 mg/I <br />Total Recoverable Copper 0.005 mg/1 <br />Total Recoverable Lead 0.005 mg/I <br />Total Mercury 0.00025 mg/I <br />Total Recoverable Nickel 0.05 mg/I <br />Total Recoverable Silver 0.0002 mg/I <br />Total Recoverable Zinc 0.05 mg/I <br />Benzene 0.001 mg/I <br />m/ Fecal coliform bacteria average concentrations shall be determined by the geometric mean of all samples <br />collected during a thiRy (30) consecutive day period. The 7 day average shall be determined by the geometric <br />mean of all samples taken during a seven (7) day period. <br />n/ There shall be no acute toxicity in the efFluent from this discharge point. The ae:ute toxicity limitation is <br />exceeded if 1) a statistically significant difference in mortality (at the 9590 confidence level) is observed for <br />either species between the control and any dilution less that or equal to the identified IWC or 2) a species <br />mortality N any dilution of effluent (including 10090 effluent) exceeds 5090. <br />
