Quarterly test results shall be reported along with the Disrhazge Monitoring Report (DMR) submitted for the end of the reporting calendar quarter (i.e., WET testing results for the calendar quarter ending March 31 shall be reported with the DMR due April 28, with the remaining WET testing reports submitted with DMRs due each July 28, October 28 and January 28). The results shall be submitted on the Acute Tonicity Test report form, available from the Division. Copies of these reports are to be submitted to both the Division and EPA. The permittee shall conduct each acute WET test in general accordance with methods described in the Division guidance document entitled Guidelines for Conducting Whole Effluent Tonicity Tests. The permittee s con uct an acute - our WET test using Ceriodaphnia sp., and as acute 96-hour WET test using fathead minnows.

Accelerated Testing - 002, 003, 005, 004, 009, 011 If an individual toxicity test shows toxicity at concentrations less than or equal to the Instream Waste Concentration (IWC) of 100X or if SOX species mortalitq in any dilution is detected in any acute WET test conducted in accordance with this permit, the permittee shall notify the Division verbally within 24 hours and in writing within 5 days of becoming aware of the toxicity. Within 7 days of becoming aware of the toxicity, the permittee shall then begin accelerated testing of the discharge with whichever species has proven (through the first instance of toxicity) to be the moat sensitive.
