Some companies have responded by saying some questions are ‘not applicable’ to their unit – what does this mean?
EPA is finding that there are a number of reasons a company responded to a question as ‘not applicable’: It can mean the unit has no State rating (for the hazard potential determination); the information is not available; the facility is no longer in operation and the question does not apply; or there could be a below grade unit where none of the questions apply to this particular unit. EPA is following up with companies in cases where the response to a survey question is ‘not applicable’ and will add information as appropriate.
