Acute Toxicity-Mysid, H. costata or M. bahia-survival Maximum Daily (MDEL) limit is 0 Pass/Fail (Pass = 0, Fail = 1) and reported value was 0 Pass/Fail (Pass = 0, Fail = 1) at NBPL-036. |
The acute toxicity sample collected at Outfall 26 (NBPL-038) located on Sierra Pier 5002 on September 09, 2022, indicated a "fail" in accordance with the test of significant toxicity (TST) approach and had a percent effect greater than 40 percent; therefore, the sample exceeded the acute toxicity MDEL. NBPL Environmental Office personnel evaluated Outfall 26 (NBPL-036) drainage basin and identified housekeeping deficiencies for corrective action, and observed an increased number of support vehicles and laydown area use on the pier (potential uncontrolled source of zinc and copper). The NBPL Permit requires an additional acute toxicity test if there is an exceedance of the acute toxicity MDEL. The acute toxicity test result for the sample collected at Subase 26 on November 8, 2022, was "pass". |

Chlorine, Total Residual Maximum Daily (MDEL) limit is 8.1 ug/L and reported value was 100 ug/L at CS-001. |
Ship onboard monitoring of Total Residual Chlorine at the ASW-100 discharge valve was logged as 0.1 ppm, or 100 ug/L, therefore exceeding the MDEL of 8.1 ug/L. NBPL Environmental personnel identified insufficient sodium bisulfite in the dechlorinator unit, in combination with an increased flow rate, leading to residual chlorine in the effluent. The Topside Chlorinator Instruction and logs are being updated to include increased amounts of sodium bisulfite and reinforce permit conditions. |

Acute Toxicity-Mysid, H. costata or M. bahia-survival Maximum Daily (MDEL) limit is 0 Pass/Fail (Pass = 0, Fail = 1) and reported value was 1 Pass/Fail (Pass = 0, Fail = 1) at NBPL-038. |
The additional acute toxicity sample collected at Outfall 28 (NBPL-038) located on Sierra Pier 5002 on March 4, 2022, indicated a "fail" in accordance with the TST approach and had a percent effect greater than 20 percent; therefore, the additional sample exceeded the Maximum Daily Effluent Limit (MDEL). As a result of two consecutive exceedances of the acute toxicity MDEL at the high risk industrial area storm water outfall (Outfall 28/NBPL-038), NBPL Environmental Office submitted a Toxicity Reduction Evaluation (TRE) Work Plan Amendment on May 12, 2022. A TRE Progress Report was submitted to the RWQCB on July 21, 2022, listing actions taken toward achieving compliance. |

The acute toxicity sample collected at Outfall 28 (NBPL-038) located on Sierra Pier 5002 on December 14, 2021, indicated a "fail" in accordance with the test of significant toxicity (TST) approach and had a percent effect greater than 40 percent; therefore, the sample exceeded the acute toxicity MDEL. NBPL Environmental Office personnel evaluated Outfall 28 (NBPL-038) drainage basin and identified housekeeping deficiencies for corrective action, and observed an increased number of support vehicles and laydown area use on the pier (potential uncontrolled source of zinc and copper). The NBPL Permit requires an additional acute toxicity test if there is an exceedance of the acute toxicity MDEL, this test was conducted at Outfall 28 (NBPL-038) on March 4, 2022. |

Chronic Toxicity 1-Hour Average (Mean) limit is 0 Pass/Fail (Pass = 0, Fail = 1) and reported value was 0 Pass/Fail (Pass = 0, Fail = 1) at NBPL-038. |
None. BMPs were observed to be implemented during quarterly inspections. Although the outfall results are considered an MDEL exceedance, in accordance with Section V.C.6 of Attachment E of the NBPL Permit, preparation of a toxicity reduction evaluation (TRE) work plan or implementation of a TRE is not required because of the lack of toxicity in the adjacent receiving water. |
