PRESENTATIVE OUTFALL STATUS(ROS)Qlity
REQUEST FORM "l
If a facility is required to samp le multiple discharge locations with very similar stormwater discharges, the'
permittee may petition the Di ector for Representative Outfall Status(ROS). DEQ may grant Representative
Outfall Status if stormwater dscharges from a single outfall are representative of discharges from multiple
outfalls. Approved ROS will ri duce the number of outfalls where analytical sampling requirements apply.
If Representative Outfall Staft s is granted,ALL outfalls are still subject to the aualitatl monitoring
requirements of the facility's x ermit—unless otherwise allowed by the permit(such as NCGO20000)and DEQ
approval. The approval letter from DEQ must be kept on site with the facility's Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. The facility lust notify DEQ in writing if any changes affect representative status.
