Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well. Information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule is found at: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/10/22/2015-24954/national-pollutant-discharge-elimination- system-npdes-electronic-reporting-rule Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the"Reporting Requirements"section above.
