What Are SMRCs?
Self-Monitoring Report Configurations (SMRCs) are sample report requirements assigned to industrial users. These configurations define when a report is due, what sampling is required, and how compliance is evaluated.
Unlike Authority Sample Report Configurations (ASRCs), SMRCs must reference a legal enforcement mechanism, either a general control (e.g. ordinance) or a specific control (e.g. permit), to be enforceable.
Step 1: Report Configuration
The first step is similar to ASRCs, but with two key differences when assigned to Industry:
Compliance Toggles
Appear next to lab report and chain of custody fields.
When enabled, missing attachments trigger violations and compliance status changes.
Enforceability Section
General Control: Choose from a list of active or upcoming controls. Report due dates cannot precede the control's effective date.
Specific Control: No scheduling in this step. Scheduling occurs later during permit (specific control) creation.
Step 2: Sampling Configuration
This step works the same as in ASRCs.
If using a specific control, sampling can follow any schedule. However, that schedule may later affect options during permit setup.
If using a general control, sample scheduling is constrained by the report schedule, just like in ASRCs.
You can define administrative periods and sample periods for stricter validation of sampling windows.
Step 3: Review and Status
Review the report and sampling configuration before clicking Finish. Based on the connection to a legal control, the SMRC may enter:
Available – Completed but not yet tied to a permit
Active or Upcoming – Based on control's effective dates
Only when connected to a legal control will sample reports be generated.
Managing SMRCs
Management tools and rules vary by status:
Drafts and available configurations can be edited or deleted.
Upcoming SMRCs tied to general controls can be terminated. Those tied to specific controls cannot.
Terminated and expired SMRCs can be archived to reduce clutter.
Status Behavior
Draft – Configuration in progress. Can be edited or deleted.
Available – Completed and enforceable by a specific control. Can be edited, deleted, or archived.
Pending – Selected for inclusion in a draft/pending permit. No actions available until permit is finalized or removed.
Active – Enforceable and within effective dates. Cannot be edited.
Upcoming – Future effective date. General control SMRCs may be terminated. Specific control SMRCs may not.
Terminated – Enforceability has ended. Can be archived.
Expired – Linked control has expired. Can be archived.
Deleted – Only draft SMRCs may be deleted. Deleted SMRCs cannot be recovered.
Try It Out
General Control SMRC:
Create an SMRC tied to an active general control.
Complete the configuration. View it in the table as “active.”
Open the SMRC and terminate it. Archive it from the table.
Specific Control SMRC:
Create an SMRC tied to a specific control.
Complete the configuration. Confirm status is “available.”
View available actions (edit, delete, archive) from the overview page.
