				the month divided by the number of samples analyzed. Report average
				concentrations on the SMR/DMR form if numerical limitations are given or
				reporting is required by the permit.
(2) Calculate Average Limitations as follows:
(A) "7-day average" or "weekly average",
				other than for bacteria, is the arithmetic mean of the daily values for all
				effluent samples collected during a calendar week, calculated as the sum of all
				daily discharges measured during a calendar week divided by the number of daily
				discharges measured during that week. The "7-day average" for bacteria is the
				geometric mean of the values for all effluent samples collected during a
				calendar week.
(B) "30-day average"
				or "monthly average", other than for bacteria, is the arithmetic mean of the
				daily values for all effluent samples collected during a calendar month,
				calculated as the sum of all daily discharges measured during a calendar month
				divided by the number of daily discharges measured during that month. The
				"30-day average" for bacteria is the geometric mean of the values for all

				40 CFR §
										136.3 Table II (containers, preservation and
				holding times).
(1) A grab sample must
				consist of one sample collected in less than a 15-minute period.

				least three discrete samples of equal volume taken at equal time intervals over
				the composite period, or taken proportional to flow rate, and combined into

(a) The provisions of this Section are
				minimum requirements.
(b) Results
				of all control tests must be made available to plant operators in a timely
				fashion for use in operational control of the facility.
(c) All plants must determine the daily flow
				and enter it in the operating records at the frequency specified in the permit.
				Flow measurements are also necessary when composite samples are collected. For
				plants not equipped with continuous flow recorders, occasional determinations
				of the flow over a 24-hour period will be necessary to establish a flow pattern
				so that occasional flow measurements will provide an indication of the total
				flow.
(d) Minimum control tests are
				tabulated in Appendix A of this Chapter, entitled, "Minimum Control Tests for
				Wastewater Treatment Facilities " and Appendix G of this Chapter, entitled,
				"Monitoring Frequencies for Backwash Discharge from Potable Water Treatment
				Facilities." In addition to these tests, routine observations, tests or
				measurements as to the quantity and quality of screenings, grit, sludge pumped
				from clarifiers, sludge /residuals drawn to drying beds or other means of
				disposal, the weather conditions must be entered in the operating records. The
				Executive Director may require that all effluent samples be collected from the
				outfall pipe at the point of discharge where conditions are such that the
				effluent quality will likely be different at this point than it is in the final
				treatment or storage unit.
(e) When
				required in a municipal facility's discharge permit, stream monitoring samples
				shall be collected instream above and below the point of wastewater discharge
				with consideration to the following factors: ease of access, mixing of plant
				effluent and the receiving stream, and the oxygen "sag" point of the receiving
				stream.
(1) Determine dissolved oxygen,
				temperature, pH, and stream appearance twice per month at least two weeks
				apart, but not more often than required in the permit for effluent sampling for
				BOD5.
(2)
				Test for indicator bacteria twice per month at least 2weeks apart, but not more
				often than required in the permit for effluent sampling for bacteria, if the
				permit for discharge contains bacteria limits.
(3) The DEQ may require additional tests when
				problems develop in plant operation, or as necessary to determine compliance
				with the purposes and objectives of this Chapter.
