What must be done regarding pump station elapsed time (ET) meter readings?

ET meter readings must be submitted to DERM using the WEB application designed for ET data entry, referencing Section 10 and the PSO permit. The submitted manual must include Section 10 as-is (unedited) to inform the permittee about ET reporting.
