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

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,

following address:
NC DENR/DWR/Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files/eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 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.

The above permitted facility generates enough solids to have pumped and hauled by local
pump/haul businesses. Our grease interceptor is pumped once a year in June/July after
school recesses for summer. Our aeration basin/clarifier is generally pumped 3-4 times a
year as needed. Our equalization basis is stable and does not need to be pumped. It is
monitored. As a Class 2 facility, we are on-site 5 days per week and closely monitor for
any additional pumping needs. Our surface sand filter is raked weekly, weather
permitting.
