outlined above, prior to use in the process. The Permittee shall arrange for the
results of such sampling and testing to be provided in a manner and form
consistent with meeting the recordkeeping requirements cited below.
b. The Permittee is held responsible for any discrepancies discovered by DAQ as a
result of any sampling and analysis of the recycled shingles and asphalt roofing
materials.
c. Recordkeeping Requirements - The Permittee shall maintain certifications that the

outlined above, prior to use in the process. The Permittee shall arrange for the
results of such sampling and testing to be provided in a manner and form
consistent with meeting the recordkeeping requirements cited below.
b. The Permittee is held responsible for any discrepancies discovered by DAQ as a
result of any sampling and analysis of the recycled shingles and asphalt roofing
materials.
c. Recordkeeping Requirements - The Permittee shall maintain certifications that the
