water. Both untreated stormwater storage requirements, and adequate post- . <br />treatment flow control must be achieved. The post -treatment flow control <br />pond's revised dimensions must be entered into the WWHM and the WWHM <br />must be run to confirm compliance with the flow control requirement. <br />Maintenance Monitoring: At a minimum, the following monitoring shall be <br />Standards conducted. Test results shall be recorded on a daily log kept on site. <br />Additional testing may be required by the NPDES permit based on site <br />conditions. <br />Operational Monitoring: <br />• Total volume treated and discharged. <br />• Flow must be continuously monitored and recorded at not greater than <br />15-minute intervals. <br />• Type and amount of chemical used for pH adjustment. <br />• Amount of polymer used for treatment. <br />• Settling time. <br />Compliance Monitoring: <br />• Influent and effluent pH, flocculent chemical concentration, and <br />turbidity must be continuously monitored and recorded at not greater <br />than 15-minute intervals. pH and turbidity of the receiving water. <br />Biomonitoring: 0 <br />Treated stormwater must be non -toxic to aquatic organisms. Treated <br />stormwater must be tested for aquatic toxicity or residual chemicals. <br />Frequency of biomonitoring will be determined by Ecology. <br />Residual chemical tests must be approved by Ecology prior to their use. <br />If testing treated stormwater for aquatic toxicity, you must test for acute <br />(lethal) toxicity. Bioassays shall be conducted by a laboratory accredited <br />by Ecology, unless otherwise approved by Ecology. Acute toxicity tests <br />shall be conducted per the CTAPE protocol. <br />Discharge Compliance: Prior to discharge, treated stormwater must <br />be sampled and tested for compliance with pH, flocculent chemical <br />concentration, and turbidity limits. These limits may be established by <br />the Construction Stormwater General Permit or a site -specific discharge <br />permit. Sampling and testing for other pollutants may also be necessary at <br />some sites. pH must be within the range of 6.5 to 8.5 standard units and <br />not cause a change in the pH of the receiving water of more than 0.2 <br />standard units. Treated stormwater samples and measurements shall be <br />taken from the discharge pipe or another location representative of the <br />nature of the treated stormwater discharge. Samples used for determining <br />compliance with the water quality standards in the receiving water shall <br />not be taken from the treatment pond prior to decanting. Compliance with • <br />the water quality standards is determined in the receiving water. <br />Volume H— Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention - August 2012 <br />4-117 <br />
