Dear Mr.Huber:
Due to the time constraints with the implementation of eDMR for numerous facilities, Charlotte Water
requested that the deadline be extended for any NPDES permits that include the eDMR permit condition.
After discussion by phone conference on July 21,2015, between the Division of Water Resources and
Charlotte Water, it was determined that more time was needed to begin submitting discharge monitoring
reports electronically(eDMR)for your facilities under the operation of Charlotte Water.
Pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1(b),no later than March 31,
2016, Charlotte Water, shall begin submitting discharge monitoring reports electronically using the
Division's eDMR application system for the following permitted facilities:

In addition,you had expressed concern about having to submit two paper copies of DMRs. We apologize
for any misunderstanding you may have had. To further clarify,the following guidance can be found on
the eDMR webpage:
At this time,NC DWR is not compliant with the electronic signature component of US EPA's
electronic reporting requirements. As a result,eDMR users will be required to complete their
eDMR submission by printing, signing,and submitting one signed original and a copy of the
eDMR to NC DWR as specified in Part II, Condition D(2)of the NPDES permit. The North
Carolina Division of Water Resources will update eDMR participants when full compliance with
US EPA's electronic reporting requirements is achieved.Please note that until we are compliant
with EPA's requirements,the printed and signed copies of the eDMR reports will need to be sent
to:
