b. The " average weekly" mass discharge means the total discharge by weight during a calendar week divided by tne number of days in the week that the facility was operating. Where less than daily sampling is required by this permit, the average weekly mass discharge shall be determined by the summation of all the measured daily discharges by weight divided by the number of days during the calendar week when the measurements were made.

1. MANAGEMENT REQUlREMENTS
a. Permit Modification, Termination, or Revocation and Reissuance (1) This permit may be modified, terminated, or revoked and reissued during its term for any of the causes specified in 25 Pa. Code, Chapter 92.

(2) The filing of a request by the permittee for a permit modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination, or a notification of planned changes or anticipated non-compliance, does not stay any permit condition.

(3) Toxic Pollutants - Notwithstanding the above, if a toxic effluent standard or prohibition (including any schedule of compliance spe-cified in such ef fluent standard or prohibition) is established under Section 307(a) of the Clean Water Act for a toxic pollutant which is present in the discharge, and such standard or prohibi-tion is more stringent than any limitation for such pollutant in this permit, then this permit shall be modified or revoked and reissued by the Department to conform with the toxic ef fluent standard or- prohibition and the permittee so not'Ified. ' I n the abse'nce of a Departmental action to modify or to revoke and reissue'this permit, any toxic effluent standard or prohibition established under Section 307(a) of.the Clean Water Act is con-sidered to be ef f ective and enforceable against the permittee.

b. Outy to Provide Information (1) The permittee shall furnish to the Department within a reasonable time any information which tne Department may request to determine whether cause exists for modifying, revoking and reissuing, or terminating this permit, or to determine compliance with this permit.

c. Where the Permittee is a Publiciv Owned Treatment Works (POTW)

(1) The permittee shall provide adequate notice as discussed in subparagraph c(2) below to the Department of the following:

(a) Any new introduction of pollutants into the POTW from an industrial user which would be subject to Sections 301 and 306 of the Clean Water Act if it were otherwise discharging directly into waters of the United States.

(b) Any substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants being introduced into the POTW by an industrial user which was discharging into the POTW at the time of issuance of this permit.

Industrial user" (2) The submission of the above information in the POTW's annual Wasteload Management Report, required under the provisions of 25 Pa. Code, Chapter 94, will normally be considered as providing adequate noti.co to the Department. However, if the above changes in industrial pollutant loadings to the POTW are significant enough to warrant either modification or revocation and reissuance of this permit, then the permittee is required to meet the provi-sions of Part B.1.a above. ,

d. Sveassinq (1) Bypassino not Exceedino Permit Limitations - The permittae may allow 'any bypass to occur which does not cause ef fluent limita-tions to be exceeded, but only if the bypass is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. This type of bypassing is not subject to the reporting and notification requirements of Part A.3.c above.

(2) Other Bvoassino -

In all other situat,lons bypassing is prohibited unless the following conditions are met:

(a) A bypass is unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or " severe property damage";

(b) There are no feasible alternatives to a bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes, or reintenance during normal periods of equipment down-time. (This condition is not satisfied if the permittee could have installed adequate backup equipment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance); and (c) The permittee submitted the necessary reports required under Part A.3.c above.

(3) The Department may approve an anticipated bypass, af ter con-sidering its adver,se effects, if the Department determines that. it will meet the 3 conditions listed above.

NOTICE: FAILURE TO SUPPLY ANY OF THE ABOVE INFORMATION MAY RESULT IN THE DISMISSAL OF YOUR APPEAL.

6 ATTACHMENT - NOTICE OF APPEAL 3(a). Part C, requirement (h), of said Permit provides that:

"Neither free available chlorine nor total residual chlorine may be discharged from any unit for more than two hours in any one day and not more than one unit in any plant may discharge free available or total residual chlorine at any one time unless the permittee can demonstrate to the Department that the units in a particular location cannot operate at or below this level of chlorination.

(b).

Appellant objects to Part C, requirement (h) in that it imposes an i'mmediately-ef fective standard upon Appellant's facility. Appellant has recently become aware that the chlorination limits specified by requirement (h) are inadequate to control biofouling at its unit. Appellant cannot operate its unit at or below the prescribed level of chlorination and desires to make a demonstration of this fact to the Department, as permitted by requirement (h). Promptly upon discovery of the inadequacy of the prescribed chlorination limits, Appellant advised the Department thereof by letter of December 24, 1984) copy attached as Exhibit B), and also advised the Department of its desire to perform the demonstration authorized by requirement (h). In order to conduct such a demonstration, levels of chlorination exceeding those levels specified by requirement (h) will be necessary.

If requirement (h) remains in force during the demonstration period, Appellant wil'1 be subject to

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . _ _ --- _ __ n- . - _ - _

. o' j sanctions for exceedances of the chlorination level specified by requirement (h), thereby effectively denying Appellant the right to make its demonstration to the Department. Therefore, Appellant requests that the ef fectiveness of the chlorination limits specified by requirement (h) be suspended until Appellant has coaducted its demonstration and the Department's ruling 4 thereon has become final.

1 i

(c). Appellant further objects to requirement (h) in that .

4 the chlorination limits prescribed therein are ambiguous as to whether they apply to the dosing period or to the period of discharge into the river. The Department has by permit transmittal letter of November 26, 1984 (copy attached as Exhibit C) stated that it agrees with Appellant that the chlorination limits apply _only to the dosing period, but such interpretation has not been reflected in the Permit, thereby exposing Appellant to possible actions by third parties , or by the Department, arising from a contrary interpretation of requirement (h). Therefore, Appellant ' requests that requirement (h) be amended by adding the following provision at the end thereof:

"This limitation shall apply to the dosing period only." .

(d). Part A, pages 2e and 21 of said Permit establish the following effluent limitations for free available chlorine:

" Maximum Daily Concentration -- 0.2 mg/l"

" Instantaneous Maximum Concentration -- 0.5 mg/1" These numerical limitations were taken by the Department from United Stated Environmental Protection 2

Agency standards published at 40 CFR 125 and 423. The Environmental Protection Agency standards, however, clearly apply to daily average concentrations and to daily maximum concentrations, respectively, while the limitations of the Permit are ambiguous. The Department has verbally agreed with Appellant. that the proper interpretation of the " maximum daily" limitation specified in the Permit is to apply the same to average daily discharge concentrations, in accordance with Environmental Protection Agency standards. This interpretation, however, is not reflected in the Permit, thereby exposing Appellant to possible actions arising from a contrary interpretation of the limitations. Therefore, Appellant requests that the free available chlorine effluent limitations specified at pages 2e and 21 of the Permit be amended to read as follows:

" Daily Average -- 0. 2 mg/l"

" Daily Maximum -- 0.5 mg/1"
