I would recommend noting it somewhere on the DMR that the previous period was missed, and this one is a make-up, or else include a cover letter explaining that.

It looks like there's a slim chance of some rain tomorrow. Worst case I will definitely collect on the next rainfall to show good faith Is there any additional documentation I need to add with the sample I get, in the event it is out of the compliance period, or just the normal documentation with the date enough? Thank you for your help, -Nick From: Georgoulias, Bethany<bethany.georgoulias@ncdenr.gov> Sent: Monday, June 28, 2021 9:21 AM To: Nicholas Ludovico <Nicholas Ludovico@huntsman.com> Subject: RE: [External] Huntsman NCG060037 Hi, Nick, You don't really have an option as far as compliance, unless there's an event to sample before July 1. We always recommend planning to get a sample early on in the monitoring period to avoid a higher risk of missing a sampling opportunity near the end. If there is no event to sample, I would recommend taking a sample at the next earliest opportunity as a "make-up," and then sample again to fulfill that next monitoring period. The make-up sample does not fulfill compliance, but it will show a good faith effort to obtain a sample under your permit and give you something to evaluate site conditions with. Any compliance action that would result in future inspections or evaluations for failing to monitor during the time period would be at the discretion of the regional office, and an effort to collect a sample as soon as possible after the missed period would probably be viewed favorably. However, there's not much else you can do if you miss it. I hope this helps. Bethany Georgoulias Environmental Engineer Stormwater Program, Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources N.C.
