Why the other answers are wrong

• Only by certified mail sent through EPA — EPA does not deliver these notices; the processor gives them directly.
• Only by a yearly notice in a local newspaper — The rule names signs, letters and equivalent means, not a newspaper notice.
• No notice is needed as long as signed statements are collected — Notification is a separate duty under 82.155(b)(2)(ii).
