Incorporated into Permits
Self Reporting System 130.24.01
The Texas Water Quality Board has adopted Rules
130.24.01.005-.009 concerning reporting and monitor-
ing requirements for the holders of waste discharge
permits issued by the Texas Water Quality Board.
These rules specify (1) the parameters to be monitored;
(2) the monitoring location; (3) the frequency of
analysis or measurement; and (4) the submission and
form of monthly effluent reports.
In order to allow interested persons an opportunity to
submit data, views, or arguments, a public hearing was
held on January 20, 1975, in Austin, in accordance with
the rules of the Texas Water Quality Board.
Copies of the document are available for inspection in
the offices of the Texas Register Division of the Secre-
tary of State's Office as well as the offices of the Texas
Water Quaility Board. Any comments concerning this
document or request for copies may be sent to Marvin
Moos, Texas Water Quality Board, P.O. Box 13246,
Capitol Station, Austin, Texas 78711, telephone (512)
475-5647.
These proposed rules, as well as any comments
received, were presented to the Texas Water Quality
Board for final adoption at its regular meeting begin-
ning at 9 a.m. on April 27, 1976, in the Madrid-Gra-
nada Rooms, Sheraton-Crest Inn, 111 East 1st Street,

These proposed rules are promulgated under the
authority of Section 21.094, Vernon's Texas Civil
Statutes, Water Code.
.005. Parameters to be Monitored. Each permittee
will be required to monitor on a regular basis each and
every parameter which is included in the applicable
permit. Each permittee may also be required to moni-
tor any other such parameters as the executive director
of the board may reasonably deem necessary to ade-
quately monitor the quality of any discharge. Should
the analysis for any additional parameters not already
mentioned be required of the permittee, that permittee
will be notified in writing of such requirements prior to
the initiation of the requirement.
.006. Required Sampling Location and Frequency of
Analysis or Measurement. The necessary samples
shall be taken from the effluent at the discharge point
as described in the governing permit unless an alter-
nate sampling and measuring point is agreed upon in
advance in writing by the Executive Director of the
Texas Water Quality Board or his appointed represen-
tative. Samples shall be taken and measurements shall
be made at the frequencies specified in the governing
permit for each parameter. Should any permit not
specify a sampling frequency or should the sampling
frequency be stamped out using an "NPDES Require-
ment Only" stamp, the discharger shall follow the fre-
quencies set forth in Tables 1 and 2 in Rule
130.24.01.009, basing the frequency of analysis on the
currently applicable permitted average daily flow. Ta-
ble 1 shall be applicable to treated domestic sewage
effluent, while Table 2 shall be applicable to all other
wastewater effluents. Should a parameter included in a
permit not be listed in the applicable table, the permit-
tee will be instructed in writing as to what frequency of
analysis shall be followed.
.007. Documentation of Effluent Reports.
(a) The monthly effluent report speaks only to
summarized data concerning the quality and quantity
of the final effluent and says nothing to the records and
laboratory control tests which should be performed in
the interest of treatment plant process control. For
each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the re-
quirements of this document, the permittee shall record
the following information:
(1) the exact place, date, and time of sampling;
(2) the dates the analyses were performed;
(3) the person(s) who performed the analyses;
(4) the analytical techniques or methods used;
and
(5) the results of all required analyses.
(b) The permittee shall be subject to routine in-
spection of Items 1 through 5 of Section (a) of this rule.O
