## G. pH MONITORING
Enforcement of pH levels, as listed in Appendix C of this Permit, shall be based on GRAB SAMPLE. The Permittee should be aware that pH levels measured in Composite Sample will provide an average pH of the waste stream and will not indicate the total range of pH in the effluent. The Permittee is encouraged to doperiodic GRAB SAMPLE pH analyses to ensure permit compliance.

Additional reporting shall be undertaken by the Permittee when required by the Director of Works & Utilities.
## Flow Proportioned Sampling
Proper sampling techniques are essential for accurate testing in evaluation of wastewater. To be representative of the entire flow, samples should be taken where the wastewater is well mixed.
An instantaneous grab sample represents conditions at the time of sampling only, and cannot be considered to represent a longer time period, since the character of a wastewater is usually not
A composite sample is a mixture of individual grabs proportioned according to the wastewater flow pattern. Compositing is commonly accomplished by collecting individual samples at regular time intervals, for example, every hour on the hour, and by storing them in a refrigerator or ice chest: coincident flow rates are read from an installed flow meter or are determined from some other flow recording device. A representative sample is obtained by mixing together portions of individual samples relative to flow rates at sampling times.
Composite samples representing specified time periods are tested to appraise plant performance and loadings. Weekday specimens collected over a 24-hour period are most common. Average daily BOD, TSS, and Oil & Grease data are used to calculate plant yield treatment efficiencies Integrated samples during the period of peak flow, usually 8 to 12 hr. depending on influent variation, allow determination of maximum loadings on treatment units.
## Example:
Hourly samples were taken of wastewater entering a treatment system. The following equations illustrate the portions to be used from the hourly grabs to provide composite samples for the 24-hr duration and during the period of maximum 8-hr loading, between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. The composite sample volumes needed for laboratory testing are approximately 2500ml.
