Catawba River Basin 2013 Basinwide Assessment Report Whole ...
Catawba River Basin 2013 Basinwide Assessment Report Whole Effluent Toxicity Program 2008-2012 The Division of Water Resource’s Whole Effluent Toxicity Monitoring Program Acute and/or chronic toxicity tests are used to determine toxicity of discharges to sensitive aquatic species (usually fathead minnow, Pimephales promelas or the water flea, Ceriodaphnia dubia). Results of these tests have been shown by researchers to be predictive of discharge impacts to receiving stream populations. Many facilities are required to monitor whole effluent toxicity (WET) by their NPDES permit. Facilities without monitoring requirements may have their effluents evaluated for toxicity by DWR’s Aquatic Toxicology Laboratory. If toxicity is detected, DWR may require aquatic toxicity testing upon permit renewal. DWR’s Aquatic Toxicology Branch maintains a compliance summary for all facilities required to perform tests and provides a monthly update of this information to Regional Offices and DWR administration. Ambient toxicity tests can be used to evaluate stream water quality relative to other stream sites and/or a point source discharge. All facilities are complaint for the 5-year basin cycle for the period of 2008-2012. WET Monitoring in the Catawba River Basin – 2008-2012 Eighty-eight facility permits in the Catawba River basin currently require whole effluent toxicity (WET) monitoring (Figure 1a and 1b). While eighty-three facility permits have a WET limit, the other five facilities do not have a permitted WET limit but are required to monitor their discharge. Some of these facilities have more than one permit because they have multiple outfalls. While the majority of facilities in this basin have been consistently in compliance, there have been a few instances of exceedances among the dischargers. All followup tests for the initial failures were compliant. Figure 1a. Upper Catawba River basin facilities required to conduct whole effluent toxicity testing
