−#When little information is available about the effectiveness of a certain type of BMP or treatment train (i.e., combination of BMPs) or when a new technology is being implemented for the first time in a certain context.
−#Where the sensitivity of the receiving water warrants a high level of inspection and testing to determine if BMP effluent quality meets design specifications or regulatory criteria.
