Self-Monitoring
Discharge Monitoring Reports
Self-monitoring information
generally includes any information which must be reported as a condition
of a wastewater facility permit. However, on a routine basis,
self-monitoring information is typically comprised of daily, weekly, and
monthly effluent quality data. This information is generally reported on
either a monthly or quarterly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) which is
issued to the permitted wastewater facility.
Routine self-monitoring data provides the Department with a
reliable and fundamental source of a large quantity of effluent
monitoring data. This information is reviewed to verify that
wastewater facilities are meeting discharges limitations and not
impacting ground water or surface water quality. The Department uses
this information in conjunction with it inspection activities in order
to ensure that the facilities are meeting their discharge limitations
and are operating in accordance with Department requirements.
Electronic Reporting (E2-DMR)
As part of the Department’s
ongoing efforts to improve business processes, we are working with
members of the regulated public to provide paper-less alternatives for
environmental reporting using e-Commerce and Internet technologies.
Currently, the Department is working with those wastewater
facilities that are signing up to use the new Wastewater Electronic
Environmental Discharge Monitoring Report (E2-DMR) System. The
Department’s web-enabled E2-DMR System offers the advantage of less
process for the regulated community. By offering several streamlined
reporting options, the system offers significant labor savings for
both the Department and the public. Most importantly, while saving
these costs, the system also increases timelines.
