Dear Mr. Bonfield:
Per the terms of your NPDES permit, you were required to register for, and begin using, the eDMR system

registered, but is not submitting data electromcally.
Failure to begin submitting reports electronically is a violation of the terms of your permit, subjecting you to
a possible assessment of civil penalties. In order to reduce the risk of receiving additional enforcement
action, you must complete your registration and submit your August 2017 DMR electronically on or before
October 31, 2017.
The Division has prepared a website devoted to all aspects of eDMR, including registration for its use,
obtaining an eDMR user account, and answers to frequently asked questions. You are encouraged to visit the
website at: http•//deq.nc gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr. Should you have further questions
regarding eDMR after reviewing the website's content, or have need of further assistance, you should contact
Bnanna Young at 919-807-6333 or [e-mail]
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter
