The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so, it is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular importance is Page M3. Page M3 sets forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your discharge(s). Your discharge(s) must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed "Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies, sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your discharge (or operation), you must initiate the required monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on the DMR forms furnished to you by this Agency. If you have not received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive the form, please contact this Office as quickly as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting form (DEM Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form. It is imperative that all applicable parts be completed, otherwise the forms may be returned to you as incomplete. Failure to properly complete the forms may also result in an automatic $300.00 fine. The remaining Parts of the Permit (Parts II and III) set forth definitions, general conditions and special conditions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s). The conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater treatment plant operator if you are operating wastewater treatment facilities.
