Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports
(DMRs) and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals,
then permittees must submit DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). The Division anticipates that these regulations will be adopted and is beginning

• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.) Reporting
Page 3 of 5

Permit NCO040339
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting (Supersedes Section D. (2.1 and Section E. (5.) (a)]
Beginning no later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee
shall begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's
Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for.each
month and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted
facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet.
Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross-Media
Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all
discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to
complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original
and a copy of the computer-printed eDMR to the following address:
NC DENR / Division of Water Resources / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due
to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the
households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic
reporting requirements may.be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted
on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director.
Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must
be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior
to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin using eDMR.
Temporary waivers shall be valid for twelve (12) months and shall thereupon expire. At
such time, DMRs shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee
re-applies for and is granted a new temporary waiver by the Division.
Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic
reporting requirements is found on the following web page:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month
following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the
month following the commencement of discharge.
