All pollutant analyses, including sampling techniques, to be submitted as part of a wastewater discharge permit application or report shall be performed in accordance with procedures established by SCDHEC and the techniques prescribed in 40 CFR Part 136 and amendments thereto, unless otherwise specified in an applicable categorical pretreatment standard. If 40 CFR Part 136 does not contain sampling or analytical techniques for the pollutant in question, or where the EPA determines that the Part 136 sampling and analytical techniques are inappropriate for the pollutant in question, sampling and analyses must be performed in accordance with procedures approved by SCDHEC and on the basis of recommendations from the state. All laboratory analyses shall be performed in a state certified laboratory. Sampling techniques must meet proper chain-of-custody procedures.
