Stormwater Electronic Discharge Monitoring Reports (eDMR) eDMR update: We continue to work through eDMR registrations, but there has been a delay. Permittees who already submitted registration forms but still awaiting information should continue to follow instructions for submitting DMRs below the table on this page. EPA’s NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule requires all NPDES-permitted facilities to submit reports such as discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and annual reports electronically rather than in paper. The rule changes only the method by which information is provided, not the content of the information that must be provided. Please visit the Wastewater eDMR web site if you need information about electronic reporting for an NPDES wastewater permit. Benefits of eDMR Saves time and resources by eliminating paper reports. Provides a complete and accurate set of monitoring data on industrial facilities. This data can be used to update industrial permits going forward.
