4. Recording flow meters and totalizers shall be utilized to measure flow and calibrated at least annually. [62-601.200(17)

and .500(6)]

5. The permittee shall initiate the series of tests described below, in accordance with the current sampling schedule, to

evaluate whole effluent toxicity of the discharge from outfall D-001. All test species, procedures and quality assurance

criteria used shall be in accordance with Short-term methods for Estimating the Chronic Toxicity of Effluents and

Receiving Waters to Freshwater Organisms, EPA/600/4-91/002, or the most current edition. The control and dilution

water will be moderately hard water as described in EPA/600/4-91/002, Table 3, or the most current edition. A standard

reference toxicant (SRT) quality assurance (QA) chronic toxicity test shall be conducted concurrently or no greater than

30 days before the date of the “routine” test, with each species used in the toxicity tests. The results of all QA toxicity

tests shall be submitted with the discharge monitoring report (DMR). Any deviation from the bioassay procedures

outlined herein shall be submitted in writing to the Department for review and approval prior to use.

a. 1. The permittee shall conduct a daphnid, Ceriodaphnia dubia, Survival and Reproduction test and a fathead

minnow, Pimephales promelas, Larval Survival and Growth Test. These tests shall be conducted using a control

(0% effluent) and one test concentration of 100% effluent.

2. For each set of tests conducted, a 24 hr. composite sample of final effluent shall be collected and used per

the sampling schedule discussed in EPA/600/4-91/002, Section 8, or the most current edition. Two additional

composite samples shall be collected according to the protocol and used as renewal solutions on Day 3 (48 hours)

and Day 5 (96 hours) of the test.

3. If control mortality exceeds 20% for either species in any test, the test for that species (including the

control) shall be repeated. A test will be considered valid only if control mortality does not exceed 20% for either

species. If, in any separate test, 100% mortality occurs prior to the end of the test, and control mortality is less than

20% at that time, that test (including the control) shall be terminated with the conclusion that the sample

demonstrates unacceptable chronic toxicity. Additionally, each test must meet the acceptability criteria for the test

species as defined in EPA/600/4-91/002 Section 13.11 and Section 11.11, respectively, or the most current edition.

b. 1. The toxicity tests specified above shall be conducted once every six months. These tests are referred to as

“routine” tests. Upon the completion of six valid tests which demonstrate that no chronic toxicity violation (as

defined in c.1.) has been identified, the permittee may petition the Department for a reduction in monitoring

frequency.

2. Results from “routine” tests shall be reported according to EPA/600/4-91/002, Section 10, Report

Preparation (or the most current edition), and shall be submitted to:

Florida Department of Environmental Regulation

Central

3319 Maguire Boulevard Suite 232

Orlando, FL, Florida 32803-3767

Additionally, all results shall be recorded and submitted on the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) in the

following manner:

If the NOEC of a test species is less than 100% effluent, “<100%” should be entered on the DMR for that

species. If the NOEC of a test species is greater than or equal to 100% effluent, “>100%” should be entered.

c. 1. An NOEC of less than 100% effluent in any “routine” or additional definitive test will be a violation of

these permit conditions and Rule 62-302.530(62), FAC.

2. If an NOEC of less than 100% effluent is found in a “routine” test, the permittee shall conduct three

additional tests on each species indicating the violation.

3. The first additional test shall be conducted using a control (0% effluent) and a minimum of five dilutions:

100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5% and 6.25% effluent. The dilution series may be modified in the second and third test to

more accurately identify the toxicity, such that at least two dilutions above (not to exceed 100% effluent) and two

dilutions below the target concentration and a control (0% effluent) are run. All test results shall be statistically

analyzed according to the Appendices in EPA/600/4-91/002, or the most current edition.

4. For each additional test, the sample collection requirements and the test acceptability criteria specified in

section a. above must be met for the test to be considered valid. The first test shall begin within two weeks of the

end of the “routine” tests, and shall be conducted weekly thereafter until three additional, valid tests are completed.

5. Results from additional tests, required due to a chronic toxicity violation in the “routine” tests, shall be

submitted in a single report prepared according to EPA/600/4-91/002, Section 10, or the most current edition, and

submitted within 45 days of completion of the third additional, valid test. Upon the completion of the third

additional test, the permittee will meet with the Department within 30 days of the report submittal to identify

corrective actions necessary to remedy the observed chronic toxicity.

6. The maximum combined daily discharge to D-001 (flow to the Halifax River) shall not exceed 22.8 MGD

7. The Class III Marine Waters Florida water quality standard for cyanide (≤1.0 ug/L) is lower than the method detection

limit (MDL) of Analytical Method No. 335.3 (5 ug/l). In accordance with Rule 62-4.246(10), F.A.C, the method

detection limit (MDL) of Analytical Method No. 335.3 (5 ug/l) will be used by the Department and the permittee to

determine compliance. [62-302.530(25)]

8. Effluent testing shall be conducted in accordance with the instructions for Section 3A, item 14 of permit application

Form 2A at Monitoring Location Site Number EFD-1 or EFD-2. The results shall be submitted on the tables in Form

2A to the Department’s Central District Office within 6 months of permit issuance. The results of these analyses shall be

evaluated to determine if there is reasonable assurance that the effluent will comply with water quality standards. Based

on the results, the Department shall reserve the right to revise this permit to incorporate additional monitoring or effluent

limits. [62-620.910(2)]

9. Coliforms and nutrients are listed as parameters of concern on the 1998 303d planning list for this segment of the

Halifax River. This discharge is in compliance with the approved Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Halifax

River for nutrients. The Department may develop a TMDL for coliforms during the life of this permit. Once a TMDL

has been established and adopted by rule, the Department shall revise this permit to incorporate the final findings of the

TMDL, pursuant to Rule 62-620.325, Florida Administrative Code. This may include revised or new limits for

coliforms. [62-620.325]

not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and the steps taken or planned to reduce,

eliminate, and prevent recurrence of the bypass.

demonstrates that it will meet the three conditions listed in Permit Condition IX. 22. a. 1. through 3. of this permit.

d. A permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause reclaimed water or effluent limitations to be

exceeded if it is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the

provisions of Permit Condition IX. 22. a. through c. of this permit.

[62-620.610(22)]
