When does Risk Level 1 site have to sample?

• A. On a fixed schedule
• B. When sampling for all pollutants
• C. Not applicable
• D. When required for non-visible pollutants

Answer: (D)

Risk Level 1 is treated as the lowest risk, so routine sampling isn’t required for all pollutants or on a fixed schedule. Instead, sampling is only performed when the permit requires testing for non-visible pollutants—those contaminants that can’t be assessed by sight or basic field checks. This means you don’t conduct general sampling unless the regulatory permit explicitly calls for analyzing non-visible pollutants, ensuring compliance without unnecessary testing.
