(a) If required by the DEQ, place a flow-measuring device to measure only the wastewater discharge. (b) Provide easily accessible sampling points at the outfall of each treatment structure. (c) Upon request by the DEQ, provide five (5) days prior notice to the DEQ of the next sampling schedule so that DEQ personnel may be present to observe and collect split samples. (d) Minimum process control tests are tabulated in Appendix A of this Chapter, entitled, "Minimum Control Tests for Wastewater Treatment Facilities." 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 facility's discharge permit, stream monitoring samples must 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 as noted in the permit 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 coliform bacteria twice per month at least two (2) weeks apart, but not more often than required in the permit for effluent sampling for coliform, if the permit for discharge contains coliform 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. (f) The Executive Director may grant variances from the requirements in this Section upon a written request and a showing by the permittee that the requested variance will: (1) Not adversely affect the quality of the discharge nor the environment; (2) Avoid an excessive requirement; and (3) Not hinder the proper operations of the treatment facility. Health/Fish Flesh and Water Criteria 46 APPENDIX A. MINIMUM CONTROL TEST FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES [REVOKED] APPENDIX A. MINIMUM CONTROL TEST FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES [NEW] A facility must perform the minimum control tests for all processes which it utilizes. For example, a trickling filter facility which has an anaerobic digester must comply with Tables 1-2, 1-5 and 1-6. OAC 252:606-11-3 and OAC 252:606-11-5 contains stream monitoring requirements. All facilities which discharge must perform these tests. The following abbreviations, definitions and notations are used: DO -Dissolved Oxygen BOD5 -Five -day biochemical oxygen demand TSS -Total Suspended Solids SAR -Sodium absorption ratio 2/wk -Two times each week 3/wk -Three times each week 5/wk -Five times each week 7/wk -Seven times each week Daily -Each day 3 hr comp - A composite sample collected over a three hour period of time and consisting of three effluent portions collected no closer together than one hour (with the first portion collected no earlier than 10:00 a.m.) and composited according to flow. 6 hr comp - A composite sample collected over a six hour period of time and consisting of six effluent portions collected no closer together than one hour (with the first portion collected no earlier than 10:00 a.m.) and composited according to flow. 12 hr comp - A composite sample collected over a twelve hour period of time and consisting of twelve effluent portions collected no closer together than one hour and composited according to flow. Grab sample -An individual sample collected in less than 15 minutes. Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) Composite Sample1 SBR Sample -A minimum of three aliquots collected from the discharge of a reactor. The first aliquot must be collected no later than 1/4 time, the second approximately 1/2 time, and the third no earlier than 3/4 time from the initiation of a discharge cycle to the stoppage of the discharge cycle. The three aliquots must consist of equal portions unless the rate of discharge from the reactor varies significantly during the cycle, in which case aliquots must be proportional to the measurement of the flow occurring at the time of their collection. Single 47 Composite SBR Sample -One SBR sample collected from each reactor during one discharge cycle and composited proportional to the volume discharged from each of the reactors. The sample from at least one of the reactors must represent the expected period of peak influent organic loading. Two-Cycle Composite SBR Sample -One SBR sample collected from two consecutive discharge cycles of each reactor and composited proportional to the volume discharged during each cycle of each reactor. The sample from at least one cycle must represent the expected period of peak influent organic loading. Three-Cycle Composite SBR Sample -One SBR sample collected from three consecutive discharge cycles of each reactor and composited proportional to the volume discharged during each cycle of each reactor. The sample from at least one cycle must represent the expected period of peak influent organic loading. Example of a Single Composite SBR Sample (Two-cycle and three-cycle composited SBR samples are multiples of these composited proportional to the volume discharged in each cycle). [This example assumes an SBR plant with three reactors.] A-1 Proportional to A-2 S-1 Volume Discharged A-3 A-1 Proportional to A-2 S-2 Volume Discharged CS A-3 A-1 Proportional to A-2 S-3 Volume Discharged A-3 A-1 = 1st Aliquot Aeration Basin (Reactor) #1 Aeration Basin (Reactor) #2 Aeration Basin (Reactor) #3 48 A-2 = 2nd Aliquot A-3 = 3rd Aliquot (A-1) + (A-2) + (A-3) = S-_ S-1 = SBR Sample from Reactor #1 S-2 = SBR Sample from Reactor #2 S-3 = SBR Sample from Reactor #3 (S-1) + (S-2) + (S-3) = CS CS = Single Composite SBR Sample Depending on design flow, single, two-cycle, or three-cycle SBR Composite Sample results are used for reporting purposes on discharge monitoring reports. 49 TABLE 1-1 Discharging Lagoons1 Design Capacity (MGD) Parameters & Sample Site 0 - <0.1 0.1 - <0.5 0.5 - <1.0 1.0 - <5.0 5.0 - <10.0 >10.0 pH-each cell & effluent 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk DO-each cell & effluent 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk Alkalinity-each cell & effluent 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk Temperature-each cell & Effluent 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk Fecal Indicator Bacteria- effluent, if treatment process includes disinfection 1/wk 1/wk 1/wk 1/wk 1/wk 1/wk Chlorine Residual- effluent, if treatment process includes chlorination Daily Daily Daily Daily Daily Daily Flow-effluent 2/wk Instantaneous 5/wk Instantaneous 7/wk Totalized 7/wk Totalized 7/wk Totalized 7/wk Totalized BOD5-influent & effluent 1/mo grab 2/mo grab 3/mo 3 hr comp 1/wk 6 hr comp 5/wk 12 hr comp 7/wk 12 hr comp TSS-effluent 1/mo grab 2/mo grab 3/mo 3 hr comp 1/wk 6 hr comp 5/wk 12 hr comp 7/wk 12 hr comp Appearance of effluent 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk 2/wk 1 For industrial discharging facilities, the control tests listed above only apply to discharging lagoon systems that contain permit limits for oxygen demanding substances if the control test and the parameter listed in the permit are the same.

ANNUAL FEES FOR NON-INDUSTRIAL DISCHARGE PERMITS [NEW] Annual Fee Rating System – The fees for non-industrial discharge permits will be calculated according to an Annual Fee Rating System as follows: (1) The system will contain the following factors to evaluate the complexity of the permit: (a) Discharge complexity level designation (b) Major/minor facility designation (c) Actual wastewater flow rate over the previous twelve (12) months (d) Outfalls (e) Pretreatment Program. (2) Points will be calculated for each of the complexity factors listed in paragraph (1) according to the Instructions for completing the annual permit fee rating sheet (Table G-1) and the annual fee rating work sheet (Table G-2). (3) The total annual fee is calculated by adding the annual discharge fee and the annual pretreatment fee. The annual discharge fee will be calculated by multiplying the total number of points generated using Table B-2 items 1-5 beginning July 1, 2011 by $43.40; and beginning July 1, 2012 by $50.70. The annual pretreatment fee will be calculated by multiplying the total number of points generated using Table B-2 item 6 beginning July 1, 2011 by $42.57; and beginning July 1, 2012 by $49.87. (4) Fees for other disposal methods will be in addition to the fees for discharge and will be in accordance with other applicable rules of DEQ. (5) The annual fee will be paid in advance by all facilities which have a permit in effect as of June 30 of each year. Fees in excess of $1,000 may be paid quarterly upon the request of the permittee. (6) The first year fee for new facilities will be calculated according to the Annual Fee Rating System. Complexity factors based on operational levels at the facility will be calculated using levels proposed in the application. The first year fee for new facilities will be prorated and will cover the period beginning the issuance date of the permit and ending June 30th of the coinciding fiscal year. A statement of the first year fee will be mailed to the applicant with the permit and will be due within 20 days of receipt. (7) A statement of fees due will be mailed to the permittee at the beginning of each fiscal year (July 1). (8) Fees not received by the due date will be subject to an additional fee of ten percent (10%) of the fee set forth in the statement. (9) If the fees have not been received by DEQ within 15 days after the due date set forth in the statement, the permit will be subject to revocation after notice and opportunity for hearing. (10) Fee payment must be made by check, draft, or money order payable to the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality and mailed or hand delivered to DEQ. (11) State appropriations and federal grants will be used to offset the annual fee where possible. (12) To assist DEQ in meeting rising costs to the OPDES program associated with permitting and enforcement for non-industrial discharge permits, the fees set out in this Appendix shall be automatically adjusted on July 1st every year to correspond to the percentage, if any, by which the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the most recent calendar year exceeds the CPI for the previous calendar year. DEQ may round the adjusted fees up to the nearest dollar. DEQ may waive collection of an automatic increase in a given year if it determines other revenues, including 54 appropriated state general revenue funds, have increased sufficiently to make the funds generated by the automatic adjustment unnecessary in that year. A waiver does not affect future automatic adjustments. (a) Any automatic fee adjustment under this subsection may be averted or eliminated, or the adjustment percentage may be modified, by rule promulgated pursuant to the Oklahoma Administrative Procedures Act. The rulemaking process may be initiated in any manner provided by law, including a petition for rulemaking pursuant to 75 O.S. § 305 and OAC 252:4- 5-3 by any person affected by the automatic fee adjustment. (b) If the United States Department of Labor ceases to publish the CPI or revises the methodology or base years, no further automatic fee adjustments shall occur until a new automatic fee adjustment rule is promulgated pursuant to the Oklahoma Administrative Procedures Act. (c) For purposes of this subsection, "Consumer Price Index" or "CPI" means the Consumer Price Index - All Urban Consumers (U.S. All Items, Current Series, 1982-1984=100, CUUR0000SA0) published by the United States Department of Labor. The CPI for a calendar year is the figure denoted by the Department of Labor as the "Annual" index figure for that calendar year. (13) The fees listed in this Appendix shall only be raised in the manner stated in paragraph (12) above, unless a workload and budget analysis is completed, which demonstrates that an additional increase in fees is warranted. TABLE B-1 INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING NON-INDUSTRIAL DISCHARGE PERMIT ANNUAL FEE RATING WORK SHEET (For Staff Use) 1. DISCHARGE COMPLEXITY LEVEL DESIGNATION From the permit application and permit, determine the appropriate Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes for each discharge point by determining the processes and products reported for the facility for sewage treatment plants (SIC 4952), check complexity designation level 1. For other non-industrial discharges, use the latest available edition of Table 1 or 2 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency NPDES Permit Rating Worksheet "Complexity Groups for SIC Codes" to determine the applicable subcategory and the related complexity designation. When more than one category applies to effluent from a single discharge point, select the category with the highest complexity level designation. Level 1 is the lowest complexity level designation and Level 5 is the highest. 2. MAJOR/MINOR NPDES FACILITY DESIGNATION Determine if the facility is rated as a major facility according to the latest EPA NPDES Permit Rating System. Check the appropriate answer and record the applicable point amount. 3. WASTEWATER FLOW On the work sheet under the wastewater flow, indicate the appropriate flow range, based on actual flow rate from the previous 12 months. 4. TRADITIONAL POLLUTANT LOADING Determine if the permit contains discharge limitations for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), 55 chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS) and/or ammonia (or nitrogen). Points should be assigned for the parameters limited in the permit. For the purposes of determining permit fees, the daily average load for each parameter will be calculated, based upon the reported values for the parameter and flow rates submitted on self monitoring report (SMR) and/or discharge monitoring report (DMR) forms for the past 12 months. Calculate the BOD and/or COD daily average loads and record the applicable points for each. In some cases, oxygen demand may be limited by some parameter other than BOD or COD [i.e., ultimate oxygen demand (UOD), total organic carbon (TOC), or total oxygen demand (TOD)]. In such cases, record the alternate parameter in the applicable space and calculate the average load and report the applicable point amount. Sum the points for each parameter and record the total traditional pollutant points in the space provided. 5. OUTFALLS On the work sheet under outfalls, indicate the number of outfalls. 6. PRETREATMENT On the work sheet under pretreatment, indicate whether the applicant implements a DEQ- required/approved pretreatment program. 7. RATING POINTS FOR DISCHARGE Sum the rating points assigned to each of the four sections and record the total in the discharge rating points blank. 8. DISCHARGE FEE Multiply the points for discharge by the appropriate $/point as found in section (3) above. 9. RATING POINTS FOR PRETREATMENT Sum the rating points assigned to the two pretreatment sections and record the total in the pretreatment rating points blank. 10. PRETREATMENT EE F Multiply the points for pretreatment by the appropriate $/point as found in section (3) above. 11. ANNUAL PERMIT FEE The annual permit fee will be computed by adding the fee for discharge and the fee for pretreatment. 56 TABLE B-2 DISCHARGE PERMIT ANNUAL FEE RATING WORK SHEET PERMIT NO.____________ PERMITTEE__________________DATE___/___/___ 1.

The CPI for a calendar year is the figure denoted by the Department of Labor as the "Annual" index figure for that calendar year. (11) The fees listed in this Appendix shall only be raised in the manner stated in paragraph (10) above, unless a workload and budget analysis is completed, which demonstrates that an additional increase in fees is warranted. TABLE C-1 INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING INDUSTRIAL DISCHARGE PERMIT ANNUAL FEE RATING WORKSHEET (For Staff Use) 1. MAJOR/MINOR FACILITY DESIGNATION Determine if the facility is rated as a major facility according to the latest EPA NPDES Non- Municipal Permit Rating System. Check the appropriate answer and record the assigned amount for a minor, intermediate minor, complex minor, or $3000 for a major in the base fee blank. 2. DISCHARGE COMPLEXITY LEVEL DESIGNATION From the permit application and permit, determine the appropriate Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes for each discharge point by determining the processes and products reported for the industry. Use the latest available edition of Table 1 or 2 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency NPDES Permit Rating Worksheet "Complexity Groups for SIC Codes" to determine the applicable Industrial Subcategory and the related complexity designation. When more than one category applies to effluents from a single discharge point, select the category with the highest complexity level designation. Level I is the lowest complexity level designation and Level VI is the highest. If a facility is covered by SIC code 9999 (unclassifiable establishments), a Complexity Designation Level will be assigned as follows: A. If the facility is designated as major by the Environmental Protection Agency, check Category V. B. If the facility is designated as minor by the Environmental Protection Agency, check Category II. Record the applicable SIC code on the worksheet, then enter the highest complexity designation among all discharge points. 3. RECEIVING STREAM BENEFICIAL USE DESIGNATION Review the permit application to determine the name of the receiving stream for each discharge point. Review the current Oklahoma Water Quality Standards and determine the beneficial use designations for the stream. Mark the beneficial use(s) on the Worksheet and add the corresponding point amounts. If there is more than one receiving stream, calculate the beneficial use points for each and record the highest total. 61 4. TOXIC POLLUTANT POTENTIAL From the permit application and permit, determine the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes for each discharge point by determining the processes and products reported for the industry. Use the primary SIC to determine if there are industrial subcategories for that SIC code. Use the latest edition of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency NPDES Permit Rating Work Sheet to determine the applicable toxicity group. Use the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part and sub- part numbers to help identify the appropriate subcategory. If there is more than one applicable subcategory, select the subcategory that has the highest toxicity group. Enter the industrial subcategory number on the work sheet and check the appropriate Total toxicity potential number. Note that regardless of the facility's SIC code, if the facility discharges no process waste stream to a receiving water, the points scored are 0. Enter and record the applicable point amount. 5. TRADITIONAL POLLUTANT LOADING Determine if the permit contains discharge limitations for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS) and/or ammonia (or nitrogen). Points should be assigned for the parameters limited in the permit. For the purposes of determining permit fees, the daily average load for each parameter will be calculated, based upon the reported values for the parameter and flow rates submitted on self monitoring report (SMR) and/or discharge monitoring report (DMR) forms for the past 12 months. Calculate the BOD and/or COD daily average loads and record the applicable points for each. In some cases, oxygen demand may be limited by some parameter other than BOD or COD [i.e., ultimate oxygen demand (UOD), total organic carbon (TOC), or total oxygen demand (TOD)]. In such cases, record the alternate parameter in the applicable space and calculate the average load and report the applicable point amount. Sum the points for each parameter and record the total traditional pollutant points in the space provided. 7.

FEES FOR INDUSTRIAL USERS [REVOKED] APPENDIX E. FEES FOR INDUSTRIAL USERS [NEW] (A) The fee for industrial users discharging to non-pretreatment Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) will be as follows: beginning July 1, 2011, $1,100.00; beginning July 1, 2012, $1,920.00; beginning July 1, 2013, $4,150.00; beginning July 1, 2014, $4,200.00; beginning July 66 1, 2015 and thereafter, $4,270.00. (B) Fee payment must be made by check, draft, or money order payable to the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality and mailed or hand delivered to DEQ. (C) The annual fee must be paid in advance by all facilities which have a permit in effect as of June 30 of each year. (D) The first year fee for facilities will be prorated and will cover the period beginning the issuance date of the permit and ending June 30th of the coinciding fiscal year. A statement of the first year fee will be mailed to the applicant within 10 days of receipt of application and will be due within 20 days of receipt of application. (E) A statement of fees due will be mailed to the permittee at the beginning of each fiscal year (July 1). (F) Fees not received by the due date will be subject to an additional fee of ten percent (10%) of the fee set forth in the statement. (G) If the fees have not been received by DEQ within 15 days after the due date set forth in the statement, the permit will be subject to revocation after notice and opportunity for hearing. (H) State appropriations and federal grants will be used to offset the annual fee where possible. (I) To assist DEQ in meeting rising costs to the OPDES program associated with permitting and enforcement for industrial users discharging to nonpretreatment POTWs, the fees set out in this Appendix shall be automatically adjusted on July 1st every year to correspond to the percentage, if any, by which the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the most recent calendar year exceeds the CPI for the previous calendar year. DEQ may round the adjusted fees up to the nearest dollar. DEQ may waive collection of an automatic increase in a given year if it determines other revenues, including appropriated state general revenue funds, have increased sufficiently to make the funds generated by the automatic adjustment unnecessary in that year. A waiver does not affect future automatic adjustments. (1) Any automatic fee adjustment under this subsection may be averted or eliminated, or the adjustment percentage may be modified, by rule promulgated pursuant to the Oklahoma Administrative Procedures Act. The rulemaking process may be initiated in any manner provided by law, including a petition for rulemaking pursuant to 75 O.S. § 305 and OAC 252:4-5-3 by any person affected by the automatic fee adjustment. (2) If the United States Department of Labor ceases to publish the CPI or revises the methodology or base years, no further automatic fee adjustments shall occur until a new automatic fee adjustment rule is promulgated pursuant to the Oklahoma Administrative Procedures Act. (3) For purposes of this subsection, "Consumer Price Index" or "CPI" means the Consumer Price Index - All Urban Consumers (U.S. All Items, Current Series, 1982-1984=100, CUUR0000SA0) published by the United States Department of Labor. The CPI for a calendar year is the figure denoted by the Department of Labor as the "Annual" index figure for that calendar year. (J) The fees listed in this Appendix shall only be raised in the manner stated in paragraph (I) above, unless a workload and budget analysis is completed, which demonstrates that an additional increase in fees is warranted. 67 APPENDIX F. FEES FOR LAND APPLICATION OF BIOSOLIDS [REVOKED] APPENDIX F. FEES FOR LAND APPLICATION OF BIOSOLIDS [NEW] (a) Beginning July 1, 2008, the annual permit fee is: (1) Population Range 0-100 - $261.00 (2) Population Range 101-500 - $292.00 (3) Population Range 501-1,000 - $509.00 (4) Population Range 1,001-5,000 - $881.00 (5) Population Range 5,001+ - $1,005.00 (b) Fees are due upon receipt of an invoice mailed by DEQ annually. Upon payment of the annual fee, the permit will continue in effect for one year but in no case past its expiration. Failure to pay the fee may result in the suspension or termination of the permit. (c) Financial assurance (1) If the applicant is not a city, town or other public entity, the applicant must submit the following information to DEQ: (A) Expected costs for operation and maintenance, replacement and closure; (B) Continued existence and financial accountability; and that (C) Assurance that provisions have been made for continued existence of the operating entity for the expected life of the facility. (2) Continued existence may be demonstrated in one of the following fashions: (A)The applicant may be a property owners association or a nonprofit corporation established under the laws of the State of Oklahoma. The association must have the legal authority to own and manage the land application system including the authority to set and collect fees from users for operation and maintenance of the system. The bylaws of the entity must contain a provision that dissolution cannot occur until the system is either closed in accordance with applicable DEQ rules or transferred to another viable operating entity. The instrument creating the association must be filed in the office of the county clerk where the property is located; or (B) The applicant must provide proof of a sufficient amount on deposit to the credit of a trust, the powers of which are to operate and maintain the wastewater system for the expected life of the facility; or (C) Other proof of financial viability, such as the issuance of a bond or insurance contract covering the operation and maintenance of the wastewater system for the life of the system may be submitted to DEQ for approval; and (3) Costs for closure of the wastewater system as required by law must be included in any funding plan. (4) If the information fails to demonstrate the on-going viability of the operation, the application will be denied. (d) To assist DEQ in meeting rising costs to the OPDES program associated with the land application of biosolids, the fees set out in this Appendix shall be automatically adjusted on July 1st every year to correspond to the percentage, if any, by which the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the most recent calendar year exceeds the CPI for the previous calendar year. DEQ may round the adjusted fees up to the nearest dollar. DEQ may waive collection of an automatic increase in a given year if it determines other revenues, including appropriated state general revenue funds, have increased sufficiently to make the funds generated by the automatic adjustment unnecessary in that year. A waiver does not affect future automatic adjustments. (1) Any automatic fee adjustment under this subsection may be averted or eliminated, or the 68 adjustment percentage may be modified, by rule promulgated pursuant to the Oklahoma Administrative Procedures Act. The rulemaking process may be initiated in any manner provided by law, including a petition for rulemaking pursuant to 75 O.S. § 305 and OAC 252:4- 5-3 by any person affected by the automatic fee adjustment. (2) If the United States Department of Labor ceases to publish the CPI or revises the methodology or base years, no further automatic fee adjustments shall occur until a new automatic fee adjustment rule is promulgated pursuant to the Oklahoma Administrative Procedures Act.

METHODOLOGY AND EQUATIONS FOR CHARACTERIZING EFFLUENT AND BACKGROUND CONCENTRATIONS IN DETERMINATION OF REASONABLE POTENTIAL TO EXCEED NUMERICAL CRITERIA [NEW] I. EFFLUENT A. Measures of central tendency. CE(mean) represents the mean of an effluent distribution. CE(mean) is a geometric mean, unless the geometric mean is not determinable in which case an arithmetic mean is used. Where one or the other form of the mean must be used in an equation, that form is explicitly stated. (1) CE(avg). CE(avg) is calculated as follows: [I-1] (2) CE(geomean). CE(geomean) is calculated according to either of the following two forms, which are equivalent. [I-2] B. Effluent variability. An effluent data set's standard deviation is the primary measure of its variability. Generally, as the mean of an effluent distribution increases, its standard deviation also tends to increase. The coefficient of variation is a measure of a data set's variability relative to its arithmetic mean. (1) Standard deviation of untransformed effluent data set (sx). The standard deviation of an untransformed effluent data set is calculated as follows: , [I-3] where N is the number of data points in the effluent data set. (2) Standard deviation of log-transformed effluent data set (sln(x)). The standard deviation of a log-transformed effluent data set is calculated as follows: N x C N 1 i i E(avg)       =  = N N 1 i i N 1 i i E(geomean) x N ) (x ln EXP C   = = =                   = ( ) ( ) 1 - N N x - x N s N 1 i 2 N 1 i i 2 i x   = =         = 79 , [I-4] where N is the number of data points in the effluent data set. The standard deviation of a log-transformed data set applies only to the transformed data set and cannot be translated back into an equivalent untransformed data set standard deviation, for example: (3) CV. The CV of an untransformed data set is calculated as follows, when using at least ten (10) data points (if less than ten data points are available, a value of 0.6 is assumed): , [I-5] where CE(avg) and sx are determined according to Equations I-1 and I-3, respectively. C. C95 and C95(M). The use of both C95 and C95(M) assumes a log-normal effluent distribution. For the purpose of determining whether effluent limitations are required, C95 represents the 95th percentile effluent concentration. For the purpose of determining whether further effluent monitoring is required, if C95 does not exhibit reasonable potential then C95(M) is used. (1) C95. The method by which C95 is determined is dependent on whether there are 10or more data points available. (a) Less than 10 data points available. The mean effluent concentration (CE(mean)) is multiplied by a reasonable potential factor (RPF95), which represents the 95th percentile maximum likelihood estimator for a log-normal distribution, according to Equation I- 6. If only one data point is available, it is assumed to represent the effluent mean. RPF95 is calculated according to Equation I-7, assuming a CV of 0.6. [I-6] [I-7] Since a CV of 0.6 is assumed, RPF95 = 2.135 and Equation I-6 reduces to C95 = CE(mean)  2.135. Where determinable, the geometric mean, CE(geomean), shall be used as CE(mean) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) 1 - N N x ln - x ln N s N 1 i 2 N 1 i i 2 i (x) ln   = =         = ( ) x (x) ln s s EXP  E(avg) x C s CV = 95 E(mean) 95 RPF C C  = ( ) ( ) ( ) 2 2 95 CV 1 ln 0.5 CV 1 ln 1.645 EXP RPF + − + = 80 in Equation I-6. The arithmetic mean, CE(avg), may be used if the geometric mean is unknown or undeterminable. (b) Ten or more data points available. C95 is obtained directly from the data set as the inverse of the cumulative log-normal distribution function at a 95% probability using Equation I-8. [I-8] where ln(x)avg is the arithmetic mean of the log-transformed effluent data set and s ln(x) is the standard deviation of the log-transformed effluent data set. (2) C95(M). The smaller the size of an effluent data set, the greater the uncertainty of its distribution. The extreme case occurs where only one data point is available. Where less than 10 data points are available to determine C95, further effluent monitoring may be warranted for the purpose of future reevaluation of reasonable potential. The method used, referred to as the TSD method, is described in Section 3.3.2 of Technical Support Document for Water Quality-Based Toxics Control, EPA Publication No. EPA/505/2-90- 001, March 1991. A log-normal distribution and a CV of 0.6 are assumed. C95(M) is calculated according to Equation I-9. [I-9] CE(max) is the highest concentration of a toxicant in its effluent data set. If only one data point is available, it is considered to be CE(max). RPF95(M) is determined at a 95% confidence level and a 95% probability basis, according to Equation I-10. [I-10] where zN is the upper kth percentile of the normal distribution, k = (1-confidence level)1/N = (0.05)1/N for the 95% confidence level, and CV=0.6.

(A) Numerical criteria for toxic substances: As described in OAC 252:606-6-11 and 14, CB is the background concentration representative of low stream flow (7Q2) conditions. (B) Human health and raw water criteria. As described in OAC 252:606-6-11 and 15, CB is the long-term background concentration representative of average stream flow conditions, and is expressed as a geometric mean. (C) Agriculture criteria. As described in OAC 252:606-6-11 and 16, if site-specific mineral constituent background data is used (as opposed to the historical YMS and SS criteria in Appendix F of OAC 252:730), CB is calculated as the arithmetic average of the site-specific background data distribution. If historical YMS and SS data from Appendix F of OAC 252:730 are used, CB is calculated according to Equation I-11. [I-11] (SS) B (YMS) B B C C 2 C −  = 82 APPENDIX J. WHOLE EFFLUENT TOXICITY (WET) TESTING CRITICAL DILUTIONS AND DILUTION SERIES [NEW] The narrative toxicity criterion is implemented according to procedures in OAC 252:740 and OAC 252:606-6-17 through 6-43. Critical dilutions are expressed in terms of percent effluent. Both types of WET testing require that test organisms be subjected to a series of effluent dilutions based on the critical dilution. Tables J-1 and J-2 reflect the 0.75 dilution series to be used for each percent critical dilution. For WET testing purposes, Qe is the design flow for a municipal POTW or the highest monthly average flow over the most recent two-year period of record for an industrial facility.
