discharge monitoring requirements

Discharge monitoring requirements involve regularly measuring and reporting the pollutants released from a facility into the environment, such as into water bodies or air. These rules ensure that emissions stay within safe limits to protect public health and the environment. Facilities must analyze their discharges for specific contaminants, maintain accurate records, and submit reports to regulatory agencies. This process helps authorities oversee compliance, prevent pollution, and take corrective actions if necessary. Essentially, it’s a way to make sure industries are responsible for their environmental impact and are following legal standards.
