What are my facilitys chances of being field sampled?
EPA expects to field sample at several facilities, and anticipates selecting one facility for each major industry that received the survey. For the industries whose wastes are more homogeneous, how representative your facility’s processes are for your entire industry would weigh in the selection, as well as how much data you supplied in your answers to Questions C22-C24. For the industries whose wastes are heterogeneous, it will be more difficult to select one facility as “representing” the industry group as a whole, and thus the quantity of data supplied for Questions C22-C24 would be the primary factor in EPA’s selection process.
