(at least eight for a 24-hour period or four for an 8-hour period) of at least 100 milliliters (mL) each obtained at 

spaced time intervals during the compositing period. The composite must be flow-proportional; either the 

volume of each individual sample is proportional to discharge flow rates, or the sampling interval is proportional 

to the flow rates over the time period used to produce the composite. (EPA Form 2C) 

Composite Sample (for GC/MS volatile organic analysis) consists of at least four aliquots or grab samples 

collected during the sampling event (not necessarily flow proportioned). The samples must be combined in the

Measured Flow means any method of liquid volume measurement, the accuracy of which has been previously 

demonstrated in engineering practice, or for which a relationship to absolute volume has been obtained. 

Monthly Average 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. (25 Pa. Code 92a.2) 

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. 

Severe Property Damage means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities 

that causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources that 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. (40 CFR 122.41(m)(1)(ii)) 

Stormwater means the runoff from precipitation, snow melt runoff, and surface runoff and drainage. (25 Pa. 

Code 92a.2) 

Stormwater Associated With Industrial Activity means the discharge from any conveyance that is used for 

collecting and conveying stormwater and that is directly related to manufacturing, processing, or raw materials

92a.2. 

Total Dissolved Solids means the total dissolved (filterable) solids as determined by use of the method 

specified in 40 CFR Part 136. 

Toxic Pollutant means those pollutants, or combinations of pollutants, including disease-causing agents, which 

after discharge and upon exposure, ingestion, inhalation or assimilation into any organism, either directly from 

the environment or indirectly by ingestion through food chains may, on the basis of information available to 

DEP cause death, disease, behavioral abnormalities, cancer, genetic mutations, physiological malfunctions, 

including malfunctions in reproduction, or physical deformations in these organisms or their offspring. (25 Pa.

or footing drains where flows are not contaminated with process materials such as 

solvents. 

C. This permit does not authorize any discharge (storm water or non-storm water) 

which contains any pollutant that may cause or contribute to an impact on aquatic 

life or pose a substantial hazard to human health or the environment due to its 

quantity or concentration. 

D. This permit does not authorize the discharge of any pollutant resulting from an onsite spill, any such occurrence is subject to Sections A.3.c or d of this permit. 

E. Preparedness, Prevention and Contingency Plans (PPC) 

1. Operators of facilities shall review and revise as appropriate the PPC Plan for 

the site in accordance with 25 PA Code Section 101.3 to address storm 

water. The PPC Plan shall identify potential sources of pollution which may 

reasonably be expected to affect the quality of storm water discharges from 

the facility. Each of the following shall be evaluated for the reasonable 

potential for contributing pollutants to runoff: loading and unloading 

operations, outdoor storage activities, outdoor manufacturing or processing 

activities, significant dust or particulate generating process, and on-site 

waste disposal practices. Factors to consider include the toxicity of 

chemicals; quantity of chemicals used, produced or discharged; the 

likelihood of contact with storm water; and history of significant leaks or spills 

of toxic or hazardous pollutants. In addition, the PPC Plan shall describe the 

implementation of practices which are to be used to reduce the pollutants in 

storm water discharges ensuring compliance with the terms and conditions of 

this permit. 

2. Facilities subject to SARA Title III, Section 313 reporting requirements for 

releases of Section 313 water priority chemicals that have occurred within 

the last three years shall include a description of such releases in the PPC 

Plan.

year. A report summarizing the evaluation and any required follow-up 

actions shall be prepared and kept on-site. Such evaluations shall include 

the items in 3.a of this condition. 

a. Areas contributing to a storm water discharge shall be visually 

inspected for evidence of, or the potential for, pollutants entering the 

drainage system. Measures to reduce pollutant loadings shall be 

evaluated to determine whether they are adequate and properly 

implemented in accordance with the terms of the permit or whether 

additional control measures are needed. Structural storm water 

management measures, sediment and erosion control measures, and 

other structural pollution prevention measures identified in the plan 

shall be observed to ensure that they are operating correctly. 
3800-PM-WSFR0011 Rev. 11/2011

95 

b. Based on the results of the inspection, the description of potential 

pollutant sources and pollution prevention measures and controls 

identified in the PPC Plan shall be revised as appropriate and shall 

provide for implementation of any changes to the plan in a timely 

manner. 

F. Sampling Requirements 

If storm water samples are required by Part A of this permit, they shall be collected 

as a grab sample during the first 30 minutes of the discharge. Analytical results of 

the sampling event shall be summarized on the attached Discharge Monitoring 

Reports (DMR) and submitted to the Department. If it is not practicable to collect 

samples due to adverse climatic conditions, or other circumstances beyond the 

permittee's control, the discharger must submit an explanation with the DMR as to 

exactly why the samples could not be collected. 

12. Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) Minimization 

The permittee will ensure that applied chlorine dosages, used for disinfection or other 

purposes, are optimized to the degree necessary such that the total residual chlorine in the 

discharge does not cause an adverse stream impact. In doing so, the permittee shall 

consider relevant factors affecting chlorine dosage, such as wastewater characteristics, 

mixing and contact times, desired result of chlorination, and expected impact on the 

receiving water body. 

To reduce or eliminate the amount of chlorine discharged into water bodies, the permittee 

must: (1) improve/adjust process controls and (2) improve operation/maintenance 

practices. 

If the Department determines or receives documented evidence levels of TRC in the 

permittee's effluent are causing adverse impacts in the receiving water, the permittee shall 

institute necessary additional steps to reduce or eliminate such impact. 

13. Usage rates of any chemical additives used at this facility that may be discharged and 

blow-down rates shall be controlled by the permittee to prevent any impairments to 

receiving water uses and/or effluent limit violations. Chemical additives include, but are 

not limited to, any chemicals added to water for control of corrosion, scaling, algae, slime 

or fouling in cooling, boiler, or process water systems. Chemical additives also include, 

but are not limited to agents used to aid in treatment such as water softeners, flocculants, 

coagulants, emulsion breakers, anti-foaming agents, dispersants, oxygen scavengers, pH 

stabilizers, and regenerants. Usage rates shall be limited to the minimum amount 

necessary to accomplish the intended purpose of the chemical addition. 

Accurate and complete records of chemical usage and discharge volumes must be 

maintained and summarized on a monthly basis using the attached form and kept on-site 

by the permittee. These records must be produced upon request by the Department. The 

"allowable usage rate" is the rate specified in the information submitted as required below

k. 96 hour - LC50 bioassay data on the whole product for at least one species of 

freshwater fish (mg/l). 

l. The MSDS and any mammalian toxicity data that is available for the whole product. 

If the additive is currently in use at the facility, it may continue to be used at the maximum 

rate reported pursuant to item d. above unless the permittee is notified otherwise. 

Whenever a change in chemical additives or an increase in usage rates is desired by the 

permittee, a complete written notification shall be submitted at least sixty (60) days prior to 

the proposed use of the chemical. This notification, at a minimum shall include the 

information outlined above. If the information is complete, and its use is not specifically 

denied, use of the proposed chemical additive is allowed 60 days after notification. The 

usage rate shall not exceed the maximum rate reported pursuant to item d. above. 

Use of additives that contain one or more ingredients that are carcinogens are generally 

prohibited, and should be substituted with alternative products. If no alternatives are 

available, the permittee must submit written documentation with the information required 

above that no alternatives are available and that the carcinogen involved will be "not 

detectable" in the final effluent using the most sensitive analytical method available.

Permit Permit No. PA0005037 A-1 

97 

Based on the information submitted, the Department will determine if any effluent 

limitations or other restrictions are necessary to protect water quality standards for aquatic 

life or human health. The permittee is responsible for preventing impairments to receiving 

water uses independent of the Department's review of this material. 

14. For Outfall 001, 126 and 226, 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 utility can demonstrate to the Bureau that the units in a particular location 

cannot operate at or below this level of chlorination. 

15. The permittee shall maintain warning signs at outfall 001 in a clearly visible location 

reading "CAUTION! WATER MAY BE HOT! AVOID CONTACT!" 

16. In accordance with part A.III.B.2 of this permit, the permittee shall submit a copy of the 

attached Supplemental Sewage Sludge Report to accompany each copy of the monthly 

Discharge Monitoring Reports to the addresses as specified above, with the exception that 

the Supplemental Sewage Sludge report shall not be submitted to the Environmental 

Protection Agency. This form must be submitted even if sewage sludge is not hauled in a 

given month, in this event enter "no sludge hauled." 

17. When collecting samples that are to be analyzed for any of the priority pollutants, the 

permittee shall collect the sample type required by Part A of this permit, and the permittee 

shall use the methods and techniques in the attached instructions "Department of 

Environmental Resources, Water Quality Management - Sampling and Analytical Testing 

Instruction" (October 1988). For each priority pollutant, the permittee shall use a method 

that will quantifiably measure the priority pollutant at or below the effluent limitation in Part 

A of this permit. 

18. There shall be no discharge of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) compounds such as those 

commonly used for transformer fluid. 

19. Outfalls 001, 126 and 226 shall have no detectable amount of the 126 priority pollutants 

(as shown in Appendix A of 40 CFR 423) contained in chemicals added for cooling tower 

maintenance, except for chromium and zinc as shown in Part A of the permit. 

20. The discharge of hydrostatic test water from any existing petroleum product storage tanks 

and/or new tanks is approved on an as-needed basis and is subject to the following 

conditions: 

a. Use of chlorinated water such as a municipal supply should be avoided as the 

source of test water. If municipal water must be used, the water must be retained in 

the tank for at least 24 hours prior to discharge. If surface waters are used as the 

source of test water, the water withdrawn from the stream must be less than 25% of 

the stream flow and the discharge cannot increase the flow of the stream by more 

than 25%. When testing multiple tanks, the test water must be conveyed from the 

smallest tank to the largest tank adding water as needed, then drain the last tank in 

accordance with this approval.

b. All tanks must be thoroughly cleaned prior to hydrostatic testing to remove any 

contaminants to the best practicable extent. 

c. Water shall be discharged through an energy dissipater (bales of straw, geotech 

mesh, etc.) at a controlled rate to minimize erosion. The permittee shall comply 

with Chapter 102 of the Department's Rules and Regulations and the Department's 

"Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Manual". The water shall be discharged to 

the outfall without passing through the oil/water separators to prevent washout of 

removed materials. 

d. The discharge shall not contain any substances in concentration or amount 

sufficient to be harmful to water uses protected or to human, animal, plant or 

aquatic life. The discharger is responsible for any impairment of water use that 

occurs as a result of this discharge. The Department reserves the right to require 

that the discharge be discontinued. 

e. All water discharged must be properly directed so that it causes no nuisance 

conditions and does not pool or pond prior to reaching a surface water. 

f. The discharge of hydrostatic test water must comply with the following effluent 

limitations and monitoring requirements:

generators) and 288 and 289 (relating to residual waste landfills and 

impoundments) and the Federal Clean Water Act and its amendments. 

21. Toxics Reduction Evaluation (TRE) 

A. Water Quality-Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs) 

1. Based on the discharge and stream data currently available to the 

Department, the WQBELs for iron on Page 47 is necessary to protect the 

receiving stream uses designated in the Department's Rules and 

Regulations. 

2. Within 60 days of the permit effective date (PED), the permittee must submit 

notification to the Department verifying one of the following options has been 

selected. 

a. The permittee accepts the Department's data, assumptions and water 

quality modeling which was the basis for the WQBELs and will not 

proceed with optional site-specific data collection activities described 

in Section C of this condition. The WQBELs will be considered final 

and enforceable three years after the PED and should be used as the 

basis for conducting Phase II of the TRE. 

b. During the period following permit issuance, and prior to the WQBELs 

becoming final, the permittee agrees to conduct site-specific discharge 

and/or stream data collection and provide the Department with data to 

verify or refine the WQBELs in accordance with the schedule in 

Section B.2, herein. If warranted, modified WQBELs will be 

established through a permit amendment. Any such permit 

amendment shall be considered a formal permitting action of the 

Department subject to applicable permit modification procedures. 

If the permittee fails to select one of these options within 60 days of 

permit effective date, option A.2.a. is selected by default. If the 

permittee selects option A.2.b. and conducts TRE actions within the 

schedule in Section B.2 of this condition of the permit, herein, the 

Department will issue a written decision by letter or permit 
3800-PM-WSFR0011 Rev. 11/2011 

Permit Permit No. PA0005037 A-1 

100 

amendment. The permittee will have 30 days from the date of receipt 

of such written Department letter or decision to file an appeal of the 

final WQBELs. 

3. In either case, the Permittee must conduct a TRE as outlined below. Phase I 

of the TRE has both required and optional components. 

B. TRE Submission Requirements 

1. The TRE shall be developed to: 

a. confirm and quantify the presence of the pollutants in the discharge 

with WQBELs. 

b. verify or refine the modeling data and/or assumptions used to develop 

the WQBELs. 

c. identify sources of the pollutants with final WQBELs. 

d. recommend management practices, wastewater treatment 

technologies, or other control techniques to reduce or eliminate these 

pollutants. 

2. A copy of the Department's "Guidelines for Conducting a Toxics Reduction 

Evaluation" is enclosed for your use. The TRE and associated reports shall 

be completed and submitted in accordance with the following schedule: 

Action Date 

a. submit notification specified within 60 days of PED 

 in A.2 above

 from the Department to 

 proceed with Phase II 

f. submit complete Phase II report within 180 days of notice 

to proceed with Phase II 

g. progress reports every three months 

starting 120 days after PED 
3800-PM-WSFR0011 Rev. 11/2011 

Permit Permit No. PA0005037 A-1 

101 

C. Phase I TRE Requirements 

1. The permittee is required to submit Phase I of the TRE consisting of the 

following components: 

a. influent and effluent quality review 

b. source inventory and evaluation 

c. source reduction evaluation 

d. implementation of pollution prevention, sound housekeeping practices, 

and other management practices. 

2. The permittee has the option of providing all or some of the following sitespecific data as part of Phase I for use in verifying and refining the WQBELs: 

- discharge hardness 

- discharge pollutant concentration and variability 

- design discharge flow 

- discharge mixing characteristics 

- pollutant fate characteristics 

- stream width, depth and slope 

- stream velocity 

- ambient stream data for pollutants, pH, temperature 

- instream hardness 

- water intake quality and quantity 

- treatment plant influent pollutant concentrations 

- chemical translators 

- Water Effects Ratio (WER) 

The permittee should contact the Department for guidance in determining 

which of the above data will have a significant impact on the WQBELs and 

also for protocols on collecting and submitting the data. The Department will 

determine the adequacy of any site-specific data submitted and advise the 

permittee accordingly. If initial review of the submitted data suggests that 

additional data collection is necessary, the Department will so advise the 

permittee. The Department will notify the permittee what effect, if any, the 

data have on the WQBELs using the procedure outlined in A.2 above. 

3. Site-Specific Criteria 

The permittee may request an opportunity to demonstrate alternative, sitespecific criteria for any pollutants with WQBELs. The procedures for carrying 

out such demonstrations must receive written approval in advance by the 

Department and must be in accordance with the requirements of Section 

93.8 of the Department's Rules and Regulations. 

If the permittee chooses this option, requests for alternative, site-specific 

criteria must be submitted to the Department as part of the Phase I TRE 

report. Where the demonstration results in more stringent limitations than 

those previously established by the Department, the more stringent limitation 
3800-PM-WSFR0011 Rev. 11/2011 

Permit Permit No. PA0005037 A-1 

102 

will apply. Any less stringent limitations which are approved by the 

Department shall not violate any other applicable water criteria. 

4. Alternative Site Specific Method Detection Limits (MDL) 

In some cases, the WQBEL may be less than the Method Detection Level 

(MDL) in the Department's Policy, 25 PA Code 16. In this event, the 

permittee has the option to demonstrate alternative, facility-specific MDLs to 

account for analytical matrix interference associated with the wastewater in 

question. The procedures for determining MDLs, published as Appendix B in 

40 CFR 136 must be followed and complete documentation provided. The 

request for approval of alternative facility-specific MDLs including all 

documentation required to support such a request must be submitted to the 

Department with the Phase I TRE report. The Department may grant a 

facility specific MDL by specifying "not detectable" as a WQBEL and 

including the numeric alternate MDL value for compliance purposes through 

the permit modification or renewal process. 

D. Phase II TRE Requirements 

The permittee should not proceed with Phase II until notified by the Department to 

do so. Depending on the results of Phase I the WQBELs may need to be modified 

or Phase II may not be necessary. 

1. Source Reduction Evaluation 

In addition to those items in C.1 above, as part of Phase II, the permittee 

must conduct source reduction evaluations including recycle, reuse, and 

process/chemical substitution. The intent of this portion of the TRE is to 

investigate and implement all low-cost, non-structural alternatives to reduce 

pollutants. 

2. Final WQBEL Compliance Strategies and Schedule 

A complete TRE report must consist of identification and assessment of all 

available pollution control options (Best Management Practices and/or 

treatment technologies and other structural alternatives) and their ability to 

comply with the final WQBELs or other WQBELs identified in response to 

Phase I. The permittee must select a specific pollution control option that will 

achieve the applicable WQBELs and specify a schedule for the 

implementation of this option. 

3. Section 95.4 Time Extension Requests 

In some cases, the final WQBEL may not be technologically achievable using 

any combination of control options. In this event, the permittee has the 

option of requesting an extension of time to achieve the WQBEL, provided 

the permittee demonstrates eligibility for time extension under the 

requirements contained in 25 Pa. Code 95, Section 95.4 of the Department's 
3800-PM-WSFR0011 Rev. 11/2011 

Permit Permit No. PA0005037 A-1 

103 

Rules and Regulations. If the permittee elects to submit the 95.4 time 

extension request, the request must be submitted with Phase II of the TRE 

report. Forms are available from the Department to be used for any such 

requests. 

22. Toxics Reduction Evaluation (TRE) 

A. Water Quality-Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs) 

1. Based on the discharge and stream data currently available to the 

Department, the WQBELs for arsenic, boron, cadmium, dissolved iron, nickel 

and thallium on Pages 14 and 15, are necessary to protect the receiving 

stream designated water uses in the Department's Rules and Regulations. 

2. Within 60 days of the permit amendment effective date (PAED), the 

permittee must submit notification to the Department verifying one of the 

following options has been selected. 

a. The permittee accepts the Department's data, assumptions and water 

quality modeling which was the basis for the WQBELs and will not 

proceed with optional site-specific data collection activities described 

in Section C of this condition. The WQBELs will be considered final 

and enforceable three years after the PED and should be used as the 

basis for conducting Phase II of the TRE. 

b. During the period following permit issuance, and prior to the WQBELs 

becoming final, the permittee agrees to conduct site-specific discharge 

and/or stream data collection and provide the Department with data to 

verify or refine the WQBELs in accordance with the schedule in 

Section B.2, herein. If warranted, modified WQBELs will be 

established through a permit amendment. Any such permit 

amendment shall be considered a formal permitting action of the 

Department subject to applicable permit modification procedures. 

If the permittee fails to select one of these options within 60 days of 

permit amendment effective date, option A.2.a. is selected by default. 

If the permittee selects option A.2.b. and conducts TRE actions within 

the schedule in Section B.2 of this condition of the permit, herein, the 

Department will issue a written decision by letter or permit 

amendment. The permittee will have 30 days from the date of receipt 

of such written Department letter or decision to file an appeal of the 

final WQBELs. 

3. In either case, the Permittee must conduct a TRE as outlined below. Phase I 

of the TRE has both required and optional components. 

B. TRE Submission Requirements

will apply. Any less stringent limitations which are approved by the 

Department shall not violate any other applicable water criteria. 

4. Alternative Site Specific Method Detection Limits (MDL) 

In some cases, the WQBEL may be less than the Method Detection Level 

(MDL) in the Department's Policy, 25 PA Code 16. In this event, the 

permittee has the option to demonstrate alternative, facility-specific MDLs to 

account for analytical matrix interference associated with the wastewater in 

question. The procedures for determining MDLs, published as Appendix B in 

40 CFR 136 must be followed and complete documentation provided. The 
3800-PM-WSFR0011 Rev. 11/2011 

Permit Permit No. PA0005037 A-1 

106 

request for approval of alternative facility-specific MDLs including all 

documentation required to support such a request must be submitted to the 

Department with the Phase I TRE report. The Department may grant a 

facility specific MDL by specifying "not detectable" as a WQBEL and 

including the numeric alternate MDL value for compliance purposes through 

the permit modification or renewal process. 

D. Phase II TRE Requirements 

The permittee should not proceed with Phase II until notified by the Department to 

do so. Depending on the results of Phase I the WQBELs may need to be modified 

or Phase II may not be necessary. 

1. Source Reduction Evaluation 

In addition to those items in C.1 above, as part of Phase II, the permittee 

must conduct source reduction evaluations including recycle, reuse, and 

process/chemical substitution. The intent of this portion of the TRE is to 

investigate and implement all low-cost, non-structural alternatives to reduce 

pollutants. 

2. Final WQBEL Compliance Strategies and Schedule 

A complete TRE report must consist of identification and assessment of all 

available pollution control options (Best Management Practices and/or 

treatment technologies and other structural alternatives) and their ability to 

comply with the final WQBELs or other WQBELs identified in response to 

Phase I. The permittee must select a specific pollution control option that will 

achieve the applicable WQBELs and specify a schedule for the 

implementation of this option. 

3. Section 95.4 Time Extension Requests 

In some cases, the final WQBEL may not be technologically achievable using 

any combination of control options. In this event, the permittee has the 

option of requesting an extension of time to achieve the WQBEL, provided 

the permittee demonstrates eligibility for time extension under the 

requirements contained in 25 Pa. Code 95, Section 95.4 of the Department's 

Rules and Regulations. If the permittee elects to submit the 95.4 time 

extension request, the request must be submitted with Phase II of the TRE 

report. Forms are available from the Department to be used for any such 

requests. 

23. Within 90 days of commencement of the discharges, the permittee shall submit storm 

water sampling and analytical results consistent with the requirements of Module 13 of the 

NPDES Application for Permit to Discharge Industrial Wastewater for Internal Outfalls 213, 

613 and 813 and Outfalls 030 and 032. The permittee shall provide written notification that 

the discharges have commenced within 10 days of commencement of the discharges from 

Internal Outfalls 213, 613 and 813 and Outfalls 030 and 032.

24. Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Water Quality Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs) 

1. Based on the January 29, 2010 EPA approved Final TMDL for the Kiskiminetas and 

Conemaugh River Watersheds, the WQBELs for iron, aluminum and manganese on 

Pages 9, 14, 15, 22, 49, 54, 60, 64, and 76 are necessary to protect the receiving 

stream designated water uses in the Department's Rules and Regulations. 

2. Prior to the effective date of the WQBELs, the permittee shall conduct a source 

reduction evaluation. The purpose of the source reduction evaluation shall be to 

investigate and implement all non-structural alternatives to reduce pollutants in the 

discharges assigned WQBELs. 

 If implementation of source reduction measures does not result in iron, aluminum and 

manganese effluent concentrations that are less than the WQBELs for iron, aluminum 

and manganese, the permittee shall prepare a Water Quality Management Part II 

permit application for the construction of wastewater treatment systems designed to 

achieve the WQBELs for iron, aluminum and manganese. 

3. The permittee shall conduct and implement the source reduction evaluation and 

comply with the WQBELs according to the following schedule: 

a. Submit a work plan describing its Source Within 60 days of the Permit 

Reduction Evaluation. Amendment Effective Date 

 

b. Submit a Water Quality Management Within 2.5 years of Permit 

Part II Permit Application. Amendment Effective Date 

c. Submit progress reports. Every three months starting 120 

Reports shall include updates, attainment days after Permit Amendment 

any progress made toward milestones, Effective Date

summary of results of any supplemental 

sampling and a discussion of compliance 

or non-compliance with interim and final 

requirements. 

d. Compliance with final limits. As soon as possible but no later 

than 3 years after Permit 

Amendment Effective Date 

4. Site-Specific Criteria 

The permittee may request an opportunity to demonstrate alternative, site-specific 

criteria for iron, aluminum, and manganese. The procedures for carrying out such 

demonstrations must receive written approval in advance by the Department and 

must be conducted in accordance with the requirements of Section 93.8 of the 

Department’s Rules and Regulations. 

If the permittee chooses this option, any request for alternative, site-specific criteria 

must be submitted to the Department within 180 days of the Permit Amendment 
3800-PM-WSFR0011 Rev. 11/2011 

Permit Permit No. PA0005037 A-1 

108 

Effective Date. Where the demonstration results in more stringent limitations than 

those previously established by the Department, the more stringent limitation will 

apply. Any less stringent limitations that are approved by the Department shall not 

violate any other applicable water quality criteria. 

25. The permittee shall use the following test procedures and shall achieve the MDL for the 

pollutants listed: 

 

Parameter Name 

Required Analytical Test 

Method MDL* (ug/l) 

Mercury 1631E 0.0002 

Selenium 200.9 0.6 

Silver 200.7 2 

Lead 200.9 0.7 

Chromium VI 3120 7 

Free Cyanide 4500-CN NA 

 

 *Method Detection Limit 

 If the detection limit listed cannot be met, the permittee may be granted case-specific 

MDLs if they submit complete documentation demonstrating a matrix effect in their 

particular effluent. The permittee shall follow the procedure for determining MDLs 

published as Appendix B of 40 CFR Part 136 (relating to guidelines establishing test 

procedures).
