NOTES: All sampling procedures must be in accordance with 40 CFR Part 136 and EAJSA Rules and Regulations. Sample preservation must be performed immediately upon sample collection. Any self-monitoring conducted at the designated sample location (outlined in permit) which is in accordance with EPA approved procedure must be reported to the EAJSA (please note 1/28/00 memo). When using a different method for analysis you must notify the EAJSA prior. References: 40 CFR Part 136 EPA's Industrial User Inspection And Sampling Manual for POTWs (EPA 831-B-94-001).
