Required sampling Clause Samples
The "Required sampling" clause mandates that certain materials, products, or processes must undergo specified sampling procedures to ensure compliance with quality or regulatory standards. In practice, this clause outlines the frequency, method, and scope of sampling, such as requiring periodic collection of product samples for laboratory testing or inspection. Its core function is to provide a systematic approach to quality control, helping to identify defects or non-conformities early and thereby reducing the risk of widespread issues.
Required sampling. SMC shall conduct biological (periphyton, chlorophyll a, and macroinvertebrate) sampling and water chemistry sampling at each monitoring site location designated in Section 1.2 of this Appendix. Biological monitoring frequencies established in Section 1.5 and 1.8 for periphyton and macroinvertebrates shall be modified to once annually if any one of the following circumstances occur: • A Tiered Trigger Level Exceedance • A Direct Discharge of adit water to the Stillwater River (MPDES) • A direct discharge of Stormwater from the permit area (MPDES) • An accidental spill or discharge to the Stillwater River resulting from SMC operations, licensed contractor, vendor or vendors agent Should instream water quality parameters return to baseline conditions and annual biological monitoring establish no impairment as a result of the triggering event, monitoring frequencies will return to those established below.
Required sampling. SMC shall conduct biological (periphyton, chlorophyll A and macroinvertebrate) sampling and water chemistry sampling at each monitoring site location designated in Section 1.2 of this Appendix, subject to the exceptions set forth in this section. Biological monitoring frequencies established in Section 1.5 and 1.8 for periphyton and macroinvertebrates shall be modified to once annually if any one of the following circumstances occur: A Tiered Trigger Level Exceedance A Direct Discharge of adit water to the East Boulder River (MPDES) A direct discharge of Stormwater from the permit area (MPDES) An accidental spill or discharge to the East Boulder River resulting from SMC operations, licensed contractor, vendor or vendors agent Should instream water quality parameters return to baseline conditions and annual biological monitoring establish no impairment as a result of the triggering event, monitoring frequencies will return to those established below.
