Page 19 of 46 <br />Alternatively, discharge turbidity may be measured at the point where the <br />discharge leaves the construction site, rather than in the receiving waterbody. <br />2. Based on sampling, if the discharge turbidity exceeds the water qualiry standard for <br />turbidity (more than 5 NTU over background turbidiry when the background <br />turbidity is 50 NTU or less, or mote than a 10% increase in turbidity when the <br />background turbidity is more than 50 NTU), all furure discharges shall comply with <br />a numeric effluent limit which is equal to the water quality standard for turbidiry. <br />3. If a future discharge exceeds the water qualiry standard for turbidity, the Permittee <br />shall: <br />a. Review the SWPPP for compliance with Condition S9 and make appropriate <br />revisions within 7 days of the discharge that exceeded the standard; <br />b. Fully implement and maintain appropriate source control and/or treatrnent BMI's <br />as soon as possible, but within 10 days of the discharge that exceeded the <br />standard; <br />c. Document BMP implementation and maintenance in the site log book; <br />d. Notify the appropriatc Ecology Regional Office by phone within 24 hours of <br />analysis; <br />e. Continuc to sample daily until discharge mrbidity meets the water quality <br />standard for mrbidity. <br />C. Discharaes to waterbodies on the 303(dl list for Hieh aH <br />Permittees which discharge to waterbodies on the 303(d) list for high pH shall <br />conduct sampling at one of the following locations to evaluate compliance with the <br />water qualiry standard for pH (in the range of 6.5 — 8.5): <br />a. pH shall be mcasured at the point of discharge into the 303(d) listed waterbody, <br />inside the area of influencc of the discharge; or <br />b. Altematively, pH may be measured at the point where the discharge leaves the <br />consmiction sitc, rathcr than in the recciving water. <br />2, Based on the sampling set forth above, iCthe pH exceeds the water quality standard <br />for pH (in the range of 6.5 — 8.5), all future discharges shall comply with a numeric <br />efFluent limit which is cqual to the water quality standard for pH. <br />3. If a future dischargc exceeds the water quality standard for pH, the Permittee shall: <br />a. Review thc SWPPP for compliance with Condition S9 and make appropriate <br />revisions within 7 days of thc discharge tiiat exceeded the water quality standard; <br />
