12. Wastewater constituents and characteristics, including any pollutants in the discharge which are limited by federal, state, and local standards, pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated process; and nature and concentration (or mass if pretreatment standard requires) of regulated pollutant in each regulated process (daily maximum and average concentration or mass when required by a pretreatment standard) Sampling and analysis shall be undertaken in accordance with 40 C.F.R. Part 136; and certified that sampling is representative of normal work cycles and expected pollutant discharges.
13. A statement reviewed by an authorized representative of the user and certified to by a qualified professional indicating whether or not the pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis, and if not, what additional pretreatment is necessary.
