Changes for Renewal. The Division understands that you have made no significant changes in
treatment process during the last permit cycle.We have therefore made only minimal
changes to your permit by updating your site map.Please note that electronic reporting of
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) is now required.
eDMR Submittals: Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring
reports(DMRs)and program reports [See Special Condition A. (3.)]. If you have filled out and
submitted to DWQ an electronic signature agreement,you are no longer required to submit
