a) Enter the required monitoring data for the days when a discharge occurred;

b) For each required monitoring day there was no discharge, do not enter "0" for flow.

Enter code "AC" for each parameter for each monitoring day the facility was not

discharging.

3) If no sample is taken on a required monitoring day, use these codes if applicable:

a) Use the "AN" or the "AH" codes. Use the "AN" code to indicate when samples are

not collected on days that the facility is not normally staffed. The use of this code is

limited to Saturdays, Sundays, and officially recognized municipal holidays if the treatment

plant is not normally staffed on those days and staff are needed for sampling. This code is

only acceptable for parameters that are sampled daily, but cannot be used if continuous

monitoring and recording is used, e.g. flow metering, continuous pH or temperature

monitoring. For parameters sampled at a lesser frequency, the sampling date should be

moved to a date when the facility is staffed. Enter code "AN" for each parameter for each

monitoring day the facility was not staffed.
Page 18

0IN00101*GD

b) Use the "AH" code when a required sample is not taken for a reason other than one

covered by another "A" code. An explanation as to why the sample was not taken must be

entered as a Specific Comment for that parameter and date on eDMR or in the Remarks

Section of the form 4500. Enter code "AH" for each parameter for each monitoring day a

sample was not taken.

c) Data Substitution Codes (a.k.a. "A Codes") used on the Monthly Discharge

Monitoring Report form or eDMR are as follows:

AA - Below Detectable Limit

AB - Analytical Data Lost

AC -Facility Not Discharging (or No Sludge Hauled)

AD - Automatic Analyzer Out of Service

AE - Analytical Data Not Valid

AF - Sample Site Inaccessible Due to Flooding or Freezing

AH - Sample Not Taken, Explanation Included

AJ - Above Range of Automatic Analyzer

AK - Biological Sample Too Numerous to Count

AL - No Discharge For the Month

AN - Sample Not Taken, Plant Not Normally Staffed (Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays)

F. Mercury - Evaluate Need for Variance

Ohio rules for implementing water quality standards [OAC 3745-2-08(L)] require that

mixing zones for bioaccumulative chemicals of concern (BCCs) be phased out as of

November 15, 2010. This means that dischargers will need to meet water quality standards

at the discharge point for BCCs after that date. Mercury is considered a BCC.

1) Based on an evaluation of mercury data for outfall 0IN00101001 and 0IN00101002

collected using either Method 1631 or Method 245.7, the permittee shall submit one of

the following to Ohio EPA with the next renewal application.

a) A letter stating that the discharge is able to comply with the water quality standard for

mercury for average criteria of 12 ng/l.

b) If the permittee determines that discharge concentrations of mercury will exceed the

water quality standards for mercury without the construction of expensive end-of-pipe

controls, a variance from the mercury water quality standards is available under paragraph

(D)(10) of rule 3745-33-07. If the permittee determines it is eligible, it may submit an

application for coverage under this mercury variance. Paragraphs (D)(10)(a) and (b) of

rule 3745-33-07 include information on eligibility for coverage and list the information

that must be included in the application; or

c) If the permittee determines that discharge concentrations of mercury will exceed the

water quality standards, and it is not eligible for coverage under the mercury variance

available at paragraph (D)(10) of rule 3745-33-07, it may submit an application for an

individual variance from water quality standards. Paragraph (D)(1-3) of rule 3745-33-07

provides information on the applicability and conditions of an individual variance.

Paragraph (D)(4) of the rule list the information that must be included in the application.

PART III - GENERAL CONDITIONS

1. DEFINITIONS

"Daily discharge" means the discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour

period 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 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.

"Average weekly" discharge limitation means the highest allowable average of "daily discharges'' over

a calendar week, calculated as the sum of all "daily discharges'' measured during a calendar week

divided by the number of "daily discharges'' measured during that week. Each of the following 7-day

periods is defined as a calendar week: Week 1 is Days 1 - 7 of the month; Week 2 is Days 8 - 14;

Week 3 is Days 15 - 21; and Week 4 is Days 22 - 28. If the "daily discharge" on days 29, 30 or 31

exceeds the "average weekly" discharge limitation, Ohio EPA may elect to evaluate the last 7 days of

the month as Week 4 instead of Days 22 - 28. Compliance with fecal coliform bacteria or E coli

bacteria limitations shall be determined using the geometric mean.

"Average monthly" discharge limitation means the highest allowable average of "daily discharges" over

a calendar month, calculated as the sum of all "daily discharges" measured during a calendar month

divided by the number of "daily discharges" measured during that month. Compliance with fecal

coliform bacteria or E coli bacteria limitations shall be determined using the geometric mean.

"85 percent removal" means the arithmetic mean of the values for effluent samples collected in a period

of 30 consecutive days shall not exceed 15 percent of the arithmetic mean of the values for influent

samples collected at approximately the same times during the same period.

"Absolute Limitations" Compliance with limitations having descriptions of "shall not be less than,"

"nor greater than," "shall not exceed," "minimum," or "maximum" shall be determined from any single

value for effluent samples and/or measurements collected.

"Net concentration" shall mean the difference between the concentration of a given substance in a

sample taken of the discharge and the concentration of the same substances in a sample taken at the

intake which supplies water to the given process. For the purpose of this definition, samples that are

taken to determine the net concentration shall always be 24-hour composite samples made up of at least

six increments taken at regular intervals throughout the plant day.
0IN00101*GD

Page 21 Part III General Conditions (Con't)

"Net Load" shall mean the difference between the load of a given substance as calculated from a sample

taken of the discharge and the load of the same substance in a sample taken at the intake which supplies

water to given process. For purposes of this definition, samples that are taken to determine the net

loading shall always be 24-hour composite samples made up of at least six increments taken at regular

intervals throughout the plant day.

"MGD" means million gallons per day.

"mg/l" means milligrams per liter.

"ug/l" means micrograms per liter.

"ng/l" means nanograms per liter.

"S.U." means standard pH unit.

"kg/day" means kilograms per day.

"Reporting Code" is a five digit number used by the Ohio EPA in processing reported data. The

reporting code does not imply the type of analysis used nor the sampling techniques employed.

"Quarterly (1/Quarter) sampling frequency" means the sampling shall be done in the months of March,

June, August, and December, unless specificially identified otherwise in the Effluent Limitations and

Monitoring Requirements table.

"Yearly (1/Year) sampling frequency" means the sampling shall be done in the month of September,

unless specificially identified otherwise in the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements table.

"Semi-annual (2/Year) sampling frequency" means the sampling shall be done during the months of

June and December, unless specificially identified otherwise.

"Winter" shall be considered to be the period from November 1 through April 30.

"Bypass" means the intentional diversion of waste streams from any portion of the treatment facility.

"Summer" shall be considered to be the period from May 1 through October 31.

"Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment

facilities which would cause them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural

resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property

damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production.

"Upset" means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance

with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of

the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error,

improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive

maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
0IN00101*GD

Page 22 Part III General Conditions (Con't)

"Sewage sludge" means a solid, semi-solid, or liquid residue generated during the treatment of domestic

sewage in a treatment works as defined in section 6111.01 of the Revised Code. "Sewage sludge"

includes, but is not limited to, scum or solids removed in primary, secondary, or advanced wastewater

treatment processes. "Sewage sludge" does not include ash generated during the firing of sewage sludge

in a sewage sludge incinerator, grit and screenings generated during preliminary treatment of domestic

sewage in a treatment works, animal manure, residue generated during treatment of animal manure, or

domestic septage.

"Sewage sludge weight" means the weight of sewage sludge, in dry U.S. tons, including admixtures

such as liming materials or bulking agents. Monitoring frequencies for sewage sludge parameters are

based on the reported sludge weight generated in a calendar year (use the most recent calendar year

data when the NPDES permit is up for renewal).

"Sewage sludge fee weight" means the weight of sewage sludge, in dry U.S. tons, excluding admixtures

such as liming materials or bulking agents. Annual sewage sludge fees, as per section 3745.11(Y) of the

Ohio Revised Code, are based on the reported sludge fee weight for the most recent calendar year.

16. DISCHARGE CHANGES

The following changes must be reported to the appropriate Ohio EPA district office as soon as

practicable:

A. For all treatment works, any significant change in character of the discharge which the permittee

knows or has reason to believe has occurred or will occur which would constitute cause for modification

or revocation and reissuance. The permittee shall give advance notice to the Director of any planned

changes in the permitted facility or activity which may result in noncompliance with permit

requirements. Notification of permit changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay any permit

condition.

B. For publicly owned treatment works:

1. Any proposed plant modification, addition, and/or expansion that will change the capacity or

efficiency of the plant;

2. The addition of any new significant industrial discharge; and

3. Changes in the quantity or quality of the wastes from existing tributary industrial discharges which

will result in significant new or increased discharges of pollutants.

C. For non-publicly owned treatment works, any proposed facility expansions, production increases, or

process modifications, which will result in new, different, or increased discharges of pollutants.

Following this notice, modifications to the permit may be made to reflect any necessary changes in

permit conditions, including any necessary effluent limitations for any pollutants not identified and

limited herein. A determination will also be made as to whether a National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA) review will be required. Sections 6111.44 and 6111.45, Ohio Revised Code, require that plans

for treatment works or improvements to such works be approved by the Director of the Ohio EPA prior

to initiation of construction.

existing manufacturing, commercial, mining, and silvicultural dischargers must notify the Director as

soon as they know or have reason to believe:

1. That any activity has occurred or will occur which would result in the discharge on a routine or

frequent basis of any toxic pollutant which is not limited in the permit. If that discharge will exceed the

highest of the "notification levels" specified in 40 CFR Sections 122.42(a)(1)(i) through

122.42(a)(1)(iv).

2. That any activity has occurred or will occur which would result in any discharge, on a non-routine or

infrequent basis, of a toxic pollutant which is not limited in the permit, if that discharge will exceed the

highest of the "notification levels" specified in 122.42(a)(2)(i) through 122.42(a)(2)(iv).

17. TOXIC POLLUTANTS

The permittee shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under Section 307 (a) of

the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants within the time provided in the regulations that establish these

standards or prohibitions, even if the permit has not yet been modified to incorporate the requirement.

Following establishment of such standards or prohibitions, the Director shall modify this permit and so

notify the permittee.
