    Measurement of pollutants:

    (i)

    The categorical pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated process.

    (ii)

    The results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration, and/or mass, where required by the standard or by the regulatory authority, of regulated pollutants in the discharge from each regulated process. Instantaneous, daily maximum, and long-term average concentrations, or mass, where required, shall be reported. The sample shall be representative of daily operations and shall be analyzed in accordance with procedures set out in section 13-392 of this article.

    (iii)

    Sampling must be performed in accordance with procedures set out in section 13-393 of this article.
