Subject: NPDES Electronic Reporting Requirements and
Sixty Day Notice of Minor Modification of the NPDES Permit
Olde Beau Golf Club WWTP
NPDES Permit Number: NCO078158
Dear NPDES Permittee:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) recently published the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule.The rule requires NPDES regulated facilities to
report information electronically, instead of filing written paper reports.The rule does not change what
information is required from facilities. It only changes the method by which information is provided (i.e.,
electronic rather than paper-based).
EPA is phasing in the requirements of the rule over a 5-year period. The two phases of the rule, and their
key milestones, are:
• Phase 1—Starting on December 21,2016, regulated entities that are required to submit Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) will begin submitting these reports electronically. If you are currently
reporting your DMR data electronically using eDMR,then you simply need to continue reporting
in the same way as you are now. The key change is that, starting on December 21, 2016,
electronic reporting of DMRs will be required, instead of voluntary.
• Phase 2—Starting on December 21,2020, regulated entities that are required to submit certain
other NPDES reports will begin submitting these reports electronically. Reports covered in the
second phase include Notices of Intent to discharge in compliance with an NPDES general permit,
Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports, and a number of other NPDES program reports.
