Dear Mr. Matty:
Referenced permit is enclosed.
On October 15,1998, you submitted information/ data pertaining to dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform, pH and metals concentrations at Outfall 001. A review of the information indicated that the dissolved oxygen levels at the Outfall 001 were above the minimum requirements during the period from August through February. Therefore, we have deleted limitations for dissolved oxygen for this period.
Also, fecal coliform levels at the Outfall 001 during non-swimming season (October through April) were in compliance with the 2,000 col /100 ml limit without the use of the ozone disinfection system.
Therefore, we have deleted this requirement. The monitoring frequency for dissolved oxygen and pH is reduced to weekly. The concentrations of metals at the Outfall 001 were generally low, therefbre the monitoring requirement for metals is deleted from Part A of the permit. However, monitoring is required for metals on a yearly basis in accordance with the Other Requirement No. 5 Part C of the permit.
It will be necessary for you to submit a completed Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) on a monthly basis to the appropriate agencies (see Other Requirements on p.14 of the NPDES permit).
A master copy of the DMR form is enclosed, which should be reproduced for your use in this regard.
Please study the permit carefully and direct any questions to the Permits Section of this office.
I Please take the time to complete the enclosed questionnaire and return it in the pre-addressed
(
stamped envelope. Your response will be taken into account, as we consider ways ofimproving our service to the public and regulated community.

" Bypass" means the intentional diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility.
a.
l i
b.
" Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can i
reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does no_t mean ecor'omic loss caused by delays in production.
" Daily discharge" means the discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period c.
that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants with limitations expressed in units of mass, the " daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged l
over the day. For pollutants with limitations expressed in other units of measurement, the " daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day.
d.
" Average" refers to the use of an arithmetic mean, unless otherwise specified in this permit.
" Geometric Average (mean)" means the average of a set of n sample results given by the nth root of their e.
product.
f.
" Average monthly" discharge limitation means the highest allowable average of " daily values" over a calendar month, calculated as the sum of all " daily values" measured during a calendar month divided by the number of" daily values" measured during that month.
g.
" Average weekly" discharge limitation means the highest allowable average of " daily values" over a calendar week, calculated as the sum of ali " daily values" measured during a calendar week divided by the number of" daily values" measured during that week.

J.
" Composite Sample" (for all except GC/MS volatile organic analysis) means a combination of at least 8 individual samples of at least 100 milliliters each obtained at periodic intervals during the operating hours of a facility over a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period. The composite must be flow proportional, either the volume of each individual sample is proportional to discharge flow rates, or the sampling interval (for constant volume j
samples) is proportional to the flow rates, over the time period used to produce the composite.
j i
" Composite Sample for GC/MS volatile organic analysis" consists of at least four (rather than eight) aliquois or grab samples collected during actual hours of discharge over a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period and need not be flow proportioned. The four samples are composited in the laboratory immediately before analysis, and only one analysis performed.
The maximum time period between individual samples used for any " composite sample" shall not exceed two hours, except that for wastes of a uniform nature the samples may be collected on a frequency of at least twice per working shift and shall be equally spaced over a 24-hour period (or over the operating day if j
flows are of a shorter duration).
k.
" Grab Sample" means an individual sample of at least 100 milliliters collected at a randomly-selected time over a period not to exceed 15 minutes.

p.
" Estimate" means to be based on a technical evaluation of the sources contributing to the discharge including, but not limited to, pump capabilities, water meters and batch discharge volumes.
q.
"Non-contact cooling water" means water used to reduce temperature which does not come in direct contact with any raw material, intermediate product, waste product (other than heat), or finished product.
Such water may on occasion, as a result of corrosion, cooling system leakage or similar coolmg system I
failures contain small amounts of process chemicals: orovided, that all reasonable measures have been taken to prevent, reduce, eliminate and control the maximum extent feasible such contamination: and provided further, that all reasonable measures have been taken that will mitigate the effects of such contamination once it has occurred.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR UTILIZING NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES)
DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORT (DMR)
The original DMR fonn(s) included with your pennit are provided to serve as a master. Copies of this form must be used when reponing the results of the monitoring requirements in your permit.

Please make a note of your permit expiration date on the master DMR so that you will be reminded to submit your renewal application ISO days prior to expiration.
A " Monitor / Report" requirement contained in a permit requirement block indicates that the parameter is monitored and the test result reported in the appropriate block. Any test methods specified in Pan A or Part C of the permit must be used.
. An " Average Weekly" value is defined as the highest weeldy arithmetic average value observed during the monthly monitoring period.
l Loading or mass units shall be reported as the average of the calculated daily loadings during the monthly, l
weekly, or daily measurement period.
l For parameters for which the eftiuent limit is lower than the Method Detection Limit (MDL) of the most sensitive existing EPA approved (40 CFR Part 136), test method or DEP approved method, the parameters i
should be analyzed using the test method pecified in Part C of the permit. The sample results must be specified on the DMR fonn as either the measured (quantified) valae or as "less than" the detection limit used in the test i
(e.g. < x.x). Results SHALL NOT be reponed as "Not Detectable" or "ND". For computing monthly averages, all "less than" sample results may be counted as zero values. All sample results used in computing monthly average values must be reponed on the DMR form in the DMR comment section.
You should also note ;ay other special instructions or definitions contained on the front and back of the DMR t
as well as in the permit.
i Submit the completed forms to: DEP, EPA and the County Health Depanment as required in the permit. Unless otherwise specified in the permit, the DMR form must be submitted each month.
