PART I <br />Page 3 of 19 <br />C. FOOTNOTES <br />7. A "24 hour composite' sample is a combination of at least eight <br />(8) sample aliquots of at least 100 milliliters, collected at <br />equally spaced intervals during the operating hours of a facility <br />over a twenty-four (24) hour period. Por volatile pollutants, <br />aliquots moat be combined is the laboratory Smmediately before <br />analysis. The composite must be flow proportional; either the <br />time interval between each aliquot or the volume of each aliquot <br />must be proportional to either the wastewater or effluent flow at <br />the time of sampling or the total wastewater or effluent flow <br />since the collection of the previous aliquot. Aliquots may be <br />collected manually or automatically. <br />f/ - In the event an oil sheen, or floating oil is observed, a grab sample <br />shall be collected, analyzed, and reported on the appropriate Dt~IIt. <br />Ia addition, corrective action shall be taken immediately to mitigate <br />the discharge of oil and grease. A description of the corrective <br />action taken should be included with the DlII1. <br />$/ - Where based an a minimum of 5 samples, the permittee demonstrates, to <br />the satisfaction of the Water Quality Control Division, that the <br />level of total dissolved solids (TDS) is the effluent can be <br />calculated based upon the level of electrical conductivity, the <br />permittee may measure and report TDS in terms of electrical <br />conductivity. <br />h/ - TDS shall be sampled on a monthly basis until siz samples have been <br />analyzed. A report of 'No Discharge" shall not be counted as one of <br />the siz samples. Thereafter, monitoring shall continue on a <br />quarterly basis. Following submittal of the initial siz sets of <br />monthly data, the Mvision shall determine whether the permittee is <br />required to submit a report addressing salt removal Sa accordance <br />with Regulations Por Implementation of the Colorado River Salinity <br />Standards Through the NPDES Permit Program, 3.10.0. If the salinity <br />report is required, the Division shall so advise the permittee by <br />letter and the report shall be submitted within 180 days. <br />i/ - This parameter is subject to "Noncompliance Notification" <br />requirements of Part II.A.3.Cb7(v) of this permit. <br />~/ - Procedure for determining settleable solids is contained Sa 40 CFR <br />434.64. The method detection limit for measuring settleable solids <br />under this part shall be 0.4 al/1. <br />I[/ - Should a precipitation event occur which is greater than the 10-year, <br />24-hour event, the permittee shall submit rain gauge or other <br />appropriate documentation 1n order for an ezemption to be claimed. <br />In lieu of such documentation, limitations contained in Part <br />I.A.1.(b), shall apply. Documentation shall be reported as an <br />attachment to the Discharge Honltoring Report for the appropriate <br />period. <br />Code: .1 - 16 Date: 1-84, revised 10-88, revised 12-88 <br />
