      Once the applicant has identified the business as one needing a wastewater discharge permit, the applicant should download CFR Title 40, Part 403.12 and follow the instructions to prepare a Baseline Monitoring Report (BMR). Please note that the BMR should be certified by a licensed engineer or a qualified professional. If a qualified professional, who is not a licensed engineer, certifies the BMR, a statement describing their qualifications must be included with the BMR submission.
