Enforcement in New England

Discharge Monitoring Report Instructions

The DMR Instructions for 2009 have been updated.

Regarding electronic submittal of DMRs and/or reports, you will be contacted by this Region when it becomes available. NOTE: You are required to maintain an up-to-date copy of your NPDES Permit, Fact Sheet, General Conditions Part II, and/or enforcement order, with your Annual Letter, Instructions, and DMRs. If you have any questions or notice any discrepancy on your DMRs, contact the Environmental Protection Specialist listed in your annual letter.

The instructions should be carefully reviewed in order to ensure accuracy in reporting and submitting the DMRs to the U.S. EPA and the appropriate state agency.

These instructions are for the states of Massachusetts and New Hampshire which are not delegated the authority for the NPDES program in Region 1 New England.

The facilities in New England (CT, ME, MA, NH, RI, and VT) with SLUDGE reporting requirements should see Chapter 1, Section 9d of the instructions. The states of Maine and Vermont will continue to use the PCS data system.

After the DMR has been properly completed, it must be signed by a principal executive officer or authorized agent. The original, signed and dated DMR must then be mailed, prior to the due date specified in your National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, to:

Water Technical Unit (SEW)
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
PO Box 8127
Boston, MA 02114

Please be sure to submit the signed original DMR to the U.S. EPA.
