(6) A discharger need not collect a sample from a sampling point in accordance with subsection (3) until 12 consecutive monthly rainbow trout acute lethality tests and 12 consecutive monthly Daphnia magna acute lethality tests performed on samples collected at the sampling point at a discharger’s plant result in mortality for no more than 50 per cent of the test organisms in 100 per cent effluent.  O. Reg. 561/94, s. 27 (6). Monitoring — Cooling Water Effluent — Weekly Assessment

28. (1) Each discharger shall, on one day in each week, pick up a set of samples collected at each cooling water effluent sampling point at the discharger’s plant and shall analyze each set of samples for total suspended solids. (2) There shall be an interval of at least four days between successive pick-up days at the plant under subsection (1). (3) All samples picked up under subsection (1) in a week shall be picked up on the same day in the week.  O. Reg. 561/94, s. 28. Monitoring — Salt Evaporator Effluent — Weekly Assessment

29. (1) Each discharger shall, on one day in each week, pick up a set of samples collected at each salt evaporator effluent sampling point at the discharger’s plant and shall analyze each set of samples for total suspended solids. (2) There shall be an interval of at least four days between successive pick-up days at the plant under subsection (1). (3) All samples picked up under subsection (1) in a week shall be picked up on the same day in the week.  O. Reg. 561/94, s. 29. PART VI   EFFLUENT VOLUME Flow Measurement

30. (1) For the purposes of this section, a volume of effluent for a stream for a day is the volume that flowed past the sampling point established under Part II on the stream during the 24-hour period preceding the pick-up of the first sample picked up from the stream for the day. (2) Each discharger shall determine in cubic metres a daily volume of effluent for each process effluent stream at the discharger’s plant for each day on which a sample is collected under this Regulation from the stream. (3) Each discharger shall use flow measurement methods that allow the daily volumes for process effluent streams to be determined to an accuracy of within plus or minus 15 per cent. (4) Each discharger shall determine in cubic metres a daily volume of effluent for each cooling water effluent stream at the discharger’s plant for each day on which a sample is collected under this Regulation from the stream. (5) Each discharger shall use flow measurement methods that allow the daily volumes for cooling water effluent streams to be determined to an accuracy of within plus or minus 20 per cent. (6) Each discharger shall determine in cubic metres a volume of effluent for each salt evaporator effluent monitoring stream at the discharger’s plant for each day on which a sample is collected under this Regulation from the stream. (7) Each discharger shall use flow measurement methods that allow the daily volumes for salt evaporator effluent streams to be determined to an accuracy of within plus or minus 20 per cent. (8) Each discharger shall, no later than the day on which this section comes into force, determine by calibration or confirm by means of a certified report of a registered professional engineer of the Province of Ontario that each flow measurement method used under subsection (2) meets the accuracy requirements of subsection (3), that each flow measurement method used under subsection (4) meets the accuracy requirements of subsection (5), and that each flow measurement method used under subsection (6) meets the accuracy requirements of subsection (7). (9) Where a discharger uses a new flow measurement method or alters an existing flow measurement method, the discharger shall determine by calibration or confirm by means of a certified report of a registered professional engineer of the Province of Ontario that each new or altered flow measurement method meets the accuracy requirements of subsection (3), (5) or (7), as the case may be, within two weeks after the day on which the new or altered method or system is used. (10) Each discharger shall develop and implement a maintenance schedule and a calibration schedule for each flow measurement system installed at the discharger’s plant and shall maintain each flow measurement system according to good operating practices. (11) Each discharger shall use reasonable efforts to set up each flow measurement system used for the purposes of this section in a way that permits inspection by a provincial officer.  O. Reg. 561/94, s. 30. Calculation of Plant Volumes

31. (1) Each discharger shall calculate, in cubic metres, a daily process effluent plant volume for each day. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1), a process effluent plant volume for a day is the sum of the daily process effluent volumes determined under section 30 for the day. (3) Each discharger shall calculate, in cubic metres, a monthly average process effluent plant volume for each month, by taking the arithmetic mean of the daily process effluent plant volumes calculated under subsection (1) for the month. (4) Each discharger shall calculate, in cubic metres, a daily cooling water effluent plant volume for each day. (5) For the purposes of subsection (4), a cooling water effluent plant volume for a day is the sum of the daily cooling water volumes determined under section 30 for the day. (6) Each discharger shall calculate, in cubic metres, a monthly average cooling water effluent plant volume for each month, by taking the arithmetic mean of the daily cooling water effluent plant volumes calculated under subsection (4) for the month. (7) Each discharger shall calculate, in cubic metres, a daily salt evaporator effluent plant volume for each day. (8) For the purposes of subsection (7), a salt evaporator effluent volume for a day is the sum of the daily salt evaporator effluent volumes determined under section 30 for the day. (9) Each discharger shall calculate, in cubic metres, a monthly average salt evaporator effluent plant volume for each month, by taking the arithmetic mean of the daily salt evaporator effluent plant volumes calculated under subsection (7) for the month.
