Solids
(
TSS):
For
Tables
A,
B,
D
and
E
the
daily
maximum
TSS
limit
is
40
mg/
L
for
NT

up
until
November
30,
2006.
After
December
1,
2006
the
daily
maximum
benzene
limit
is
set
at
7.0
ug/
L
for
saline
waters.
The

maximum
benzene
limit
is
set
at
7.0

for
fresh
waters
for
the
full
term

the
permit.

iii.
Total
Recoverable
Lead:
For
Tables
A,
B,
D
and

a
total
recoverable
lead
limit
is

the
total
recoverable
lead
limits
are
37
ug/
L
as
a
monthly
average
and
79
ug/
L
as
a
daily
maximum
up
until
November

2006
the
daily
maximum
total
recoverable
lead
limit
is
10
ug/
L
with
monthly
average
reporting.

iv.
Chronic
Toxicity:
For
Table
D,
the
chronic
toxicity
limit
is
only
applicable
if
one
or
more
metals
are
present
at
levels
comparable
to
the
NJSWQS.
For
new
dischargers,
monitoring
only
is
required
for
the
first
three
years
of
the
discharge.
After
that
time,
the
referenced
limit
is
imposed.

v.
Other
Pollutants
Under
Table
D:
For
Table
D,
if
other
pollutants
are
present
as
listed
on
Part
III­
Attachment
D,
the

a.
Each
analysis
required
by

Laboratory
that
is
certified
to
perform
that
analysis.

b.
The

perform
all
water/
wastewater
analyses
in
accordance

if
a
chronic
toxicity
limit
is
specified

III)

a.
The
permittee
shall
initiate
a
tiered
toxicity
investigation
if
two
out
of
six
consecutive
WET
tests
demonstrate
that
the
effluent
does
not

toxicity
limit
specified
in
Part

i.
If
the
exceedence
of
the
toxicity
limit
is
directly
caused
by
a
documented
facility
upset,
or
other
unusual
event
which
has
been
identified
and
appropriately
remedied
by
the
permittee,
the
toxicity
test
data
collected
during
the
event
may
be
eliminated
when
determining
the
need
for
initiating
a
TRIR
upon
written
Department
approval.

b.
The
permittee
shall
begin
toxicity
characterization
within
30
days
of
the
end
of
the

when
the
second
toxicity
test
exceeds
the
toxicity
limits
in
Part
III.
The
monitoring
frequency
for
toxicity
testing
shall
be
increased
to
semimonthly
(
i.
e.
every

Characterization
do
not
exceed
the
toxicity
limit.

ii.
If
two
out
of
any
six
consecutive,
acceptable
tests
again
exceed
the
toxicity
limit
in
Part

shall
repeat
Toxicity
Reduction
Implementation
Requirements.

c.
The
permittee
shall
initiate
a
preliminary
toxicity
identification
(
PTI)
upon
the
fourth
exceedence
of
the
toxicity
limit
specified
in
Part
III
during
toxicity
characterization.

i.
The
permittee
may
return
to
the
monitoring
frequency
specified
in
PART

while
conducting
the
PTI.
If
more
frequent
WET
testing
is
performed
during
the
PTI,
the
permittee

all
biomonitoring
reports
to
the
DEP
and
report
the
results
for
the
most
sensitive
species
on
the
DMR.

ii.
As
appropriate,
the
PTI
shall
include:
(
1)
treatment
plant
performance
evaluation,
(
2)
pretreatment
program
information,
(
3)
evaluation
of
ammonia
and
chlorine
produced
oxidants
levels
and
their
effect
on
the
toxicity
of
the
discharge,
(
4)
evaluation
of
chemical
use
and
processes
at
the
facility,
and
(
5)
an
evaluation
of
incidental

If
the
permittee
demonstrates
that
the
cause
of
toxicity
is
the
chlorine
added
for
disinfection
or
the
ammonia
concentration
in
the
effluent
and
the
chlorine
and/
or
ammonia
concentrations
are

tests
to
account
for
chlorine
and/

ammonia
toxicity
in

report.

iv.
The
permittee
shall
submit
a
Preliminary
Toxicity
Identification
Notification
within
15
months
of
triggering
TRIR.
This
notification

The
permittee
must
demonstrate
compliance
with

After
successful
completion,
the
permittee
may
return
to
the
WET
monitoring
frequency
specified
in
PART
III.

e.
The
permittee
shall
initiate
a
Comprehensive
Toxicity
Investigation
(
CTI)
if
the
PTI
does
not
identify
the
cause
of
toxicity
and
a
demonstration
of
consistent
compliance
with
the
toxicity
limit
in
Part
III
can
not
be
made.

i.
The
permittee
shall
develop
a
