Baseline monitoring reports
(OP)
Does an user required to have baseline monitoring report even though the site doesn't have applicable pretreatment standards (falls under specific industrial categeory which has no applicable pretreatment standards)





RE: Baseline monitoring reports
So if you are not subject to categorical pretreatment standards, there answer is no.
RE: Baseline monitoring reports
So if an industry fall under a specific industrial category which has no pretreatment standards, you don't need to have a baseline monitoring report to the control authority (POTW). Is this right?
Please make me understand what is a regulated process (EPA)?
RE: Baseline monitoring reports
A regulated process is one of the unit process of the particular categorical industry. For example, that would be the pharmaceutical manufacturing processes in the pharmaceutical categorical pretreatment standard. Regulated processes would not include other processes at the same site such as the sanitary waste and other manufacturing processes on the same site.

Appreciate your help.
RE: Baseline monitoring reports
If you are exempt, then you should not need to complete a Baseline Monitoring Report (BMR).
However, some Delegated Local Agency may require you to submit a BMR to certify that you are exempt as stated in the example below:
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
This statement is to be made by a qualified environmental professional or )for the exempt category) by a responsible company official. I hereby certify that the EPA categorical pretreatment standards which apply to this company are being met on a consistent basis.
Yes______No______Exempt______
You should contact the Delegated Local Agency receiving the discharge if you are uncertain if you are covered under any of the standards.
