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 acco rdance with Short-term methods for Estimati ng the Chronic Toxicity of Effluents and Receiving Waters to Freshwater Organi sms, EPA/600/4-91/002, or the most curre nt 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” te st, 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 EP A/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 th at species (including the control) shall be repeated. A test will be considered valid only if contro l mortality does not exceed 20% for either species. If, in any separate test, 100% mortality occurs prio r 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 toxic ity. Additionally, each test must meet the acceptability criteria for the test species as defined in EPA/ 600/4-91/002 Section 13.11 and Sec tion 11.11, respectively, or the most current edition.

b. 1. The toxicity tests specified above shall be conducte d 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:

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.FACILITY: Daytona Beach/Bethune Point WWTF PERMIT NUMBER: FL0025984 PERMITTEE: City of Daytona B each EXPIRATION DATE: June 1, 2008



### 4 c. 1. An NOEC of less than 100% effluent in any “routin e” 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 c ontrol (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, su ch 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 EP A/600/4-91/002, or the most current edition.

4. For each additional test, the sample collection requi rements 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 add itional, 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 reme dy 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 wa ter 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 Me thod 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 in structions 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. Th e 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 sha ll 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]
