Interim limitations, target values, and target limitations established under sub. (2) shall be expressed in the permit as a concentration limitation, in units of mg/L or equivalent units.(5) MONITORING. A determination of compliance with interim, target, and calculated limitations and comparison with target values shall be based upon 24-hour composite samples. The department shall determine on a case-by-case basis the monitoring frequency to be required for these limitations.Wis. Admin. Code Department of Natural Resources NR 106.88
