umm..... i dont know how tough they are when it comes to these applications. and im no legal expert. just trying to come up with something that whoever reads the application might find useful. i read the form, and i think its geared to prevent the release of invasive species.

for BPs its easy.... as a tropical species, (native to equatorial Africa, found in nations like Ghana and Benin where it never gets cold) they cannot possibly survive in the wild given the climate of Pennsylvania, also the enclosures are designed in such a way that the BPs will be physically too large to escape.

shrimp and corals.... are you talking about species for salt water aquaristics, marine lifeforms? can they survive in fresh water? if they cannot possibly survive in fresh water then argue that. and point out the distance between your facility and the sea. if they cannot survive in the cold temperatures typical for pennsylvania (in the winter?), argue that as well. it may be harder for fresh water species, but you said: shrimp and corals, so i think we are dealing with marine species.

for the BPs also argue that they are common in the pet trade. if the corals and shrimp you want to work with are also common in the pet trade in Pennsylvania, also point that out.

then it may be enough to simply say that your wastewater goes into the sewers. i dont see how you would need any special treatment of the water if you can really make the point that they cannot possibly survive in any natural fresh water or the sewers in Pennsylvania.

the BP part seems really easy and straightforward, when it comes to the shrimps and corals you have to be aware that i am speculating in the form of "if this.... then that...". if there is a chance that they could survive in fresh water and/or the sewers and/or they could reach the coast somehow, then everything is different, and you may need to treat the water somehow, with filtration or disinfection or something. and the biggest assumption is that this is really all about preventing the introduction of invasive species.

good luck
