VII. Self Monitoring and Reporting Requirements
Authorized facility representatives can submit and certify Industrial Self-Monitoring Reports (SMRs) as required by their Industrial Wastewater Control Program (IWCP) permit via the IWCP Online Portal. As a courtesy, portal notifications and Industrial Self-Monitoring Forms (ISFs) are emailed from noreply@salesforce.com to the Signatory Contacts on file. Authorized permittee contacts receiving email notifications will need to add noreply@salesforce.com to their safe sender list or discuss with your IT security about allowing your inbox to receive emails from noreply@salesforce.com.
