### Permit No. LA0038890 AI No. 2290

The requirements of this subsection apply only when a toxicity test demonstrates significant lethal effects at or below the critical dilution. Significant lethal effects are herein defined as a statistically significant difference at the 95% confidence level 

### between the survival of the appropriate test organism in a specified effluent dilution and the control (0% effluent). If any valid test demonstrates significant lethal effects to a test 

### species at or below the

### dilution, the frequency of teSting for that species is automatically increased to once per quarter for the term of the permit.

a. The permittee shall conduct.a total of three (3) additional tests for any species that demonstrates statistically significant lethal toxic.effects at the critical dilution or lower effluent dilutions. The additional tests shall be 

### conducted monthlY during. the next three consecutive months in which a discharge occurs to determine; if 

### toxicity is 

### persistent or occurs on a periodic basis. The purpose of this testing is to determine whether toxicity is present at a level and frequency that will provide toxic sample results to use in performing a Toxicity Reduction Evaluation (TRE). If no 

### additional test failures occur during the retest monitoring period, the testing frequency will be once per quarter for the 

### term of the permit or until another test f8ilure occurs. The permittee may substitute one of the additional tests in lieu of one routine toxicity test. A full report shall be prepared
