The answer is both. The “thinking process” is not a one-size-fits-all tool. The same can be said for the use of A3’s.

NJDEP Inspections of Facilities with Permanent No-Exposure Certificates
Recently NJDEP has begun conducting large numbers of inspections at facilities that have stormwater no-exposure certificates.
