UPDES Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR)

This page is under construction, it should be completely functional in the near future.

This page contains information that you can use to enter your DMR information, save or print your DMR forms.  These forms will be made acceptable for submission to the Division of Water Quality.

This DMR.pdf file was downloaded from the US EPA web site.  It is a same format as your current report forms.  The DMR.pdf file is an Adobe Acrobat file which you can download and use to enter DMR information.  In the near future this site will allow you to enter your DMR data into the database and produce company specific discharge monitoring reports at the push of a button. 

(Note - this sample DMR form is for testing purposes only .  dmrf.pdf )

The DMR form is comprised of column delimited fields. The following fields are included in the DMR form.  These will eventually be linked to the database for field specific information which will allow you to complete your DMR forms and print them for submission to Water Quality.

Below is a detailed explanation for each field.

UPDES PERMIT NUMBER 

The UPDES Permit number is the number assigned by the Division of Water Quality.  It typically begins with UTG or UT followed by 7 digits.  (IE: UT0023456 or UTG0023456)

 

DISCHARGE NUMBER

The Discharge Number is the three digit extension of the Permit number which identified the outfall source, whether it be sediment pond discharge, mine water discharge, etc.  This number is located as the outfall numbers in the UPDES permit.  Typically these are 001, 002, 003, etc.  (IE: UTG0023456-001, sediment pond discharge to Coal Creek)

 

FROM YEAR

The "From Year" is a two digit field containing the beginning year of the time frame for which the report is being prepared.   For reports covering a one month period, the From Year and To Year would be the same.

(IE: discharge report for November 1999, the From Year would be "99" ; discharge report for March 2001, the From Year would be "01" )

 

FROM MONTH

The "From Month" is a two digit field containing the beginning month for which the report is being prepared.   For reports covering a one month period, the From Month and To Month would be the same.

(IE: discharge report for November 1999, the From Month would be "11" ; discharge report for March 2001, the From Month would be "03", etc. )

 

FROM DAY

The "From Day" is a two digit field containing the beginning day for which the report is being prepared.   For reports covering a one month period,  the From Day is the first day of the month being reported. 

(IE: discharge report for November 1999, the From Day would be "01" ; discharge report for March 2001, the From Day would be "01" )

 

TO YEAR

The "To Year" is a two digit field containing the ending day of the time frame for which the report is being prepared.   For reports covering a one month period, the From Year and To Year would be the same.

(IE: discharge report for November 1999, the To Year would be "99"; discharge report for March 2001, the To Year would be "01" )

 

TO MONTH

The "To Month" is a two digit field containing the ending month for which the report is being prepared.   For reports covering one month, the From Month and To Month would be the same.

(IE: discharge report for November 1999, the To Month would be "11" ; discharge report for March 2001, the To Month would be "03", etc. )

 

TO DAY

The "To Day" is a two digit field containing the beginning day for which the report is being prepared.   For reports covering a one month period,  the To Day is the last day of the month being reported. 

(IE: discharge report for November 1999, the To Day would be "30" ; discharge report for March 2001, the To Day would be "31" )

 

PARAMETER

The UPDES Parameters have been set up specifically for UPDES data and DMR forms.   These parameters have specific UPDES assigned numbers as well as a APPX Database Parameter number.  Click here for full parameter list. 

 

MINIMUM (QUALITY or CONCENTRATION)

The Minimum Quality or Concentration is the lowest value obtained for all samples taken during the reporting period.  Typically the minimum is only required for pH.

 

AVERAGE (QUANTITY, QUALITY , OR CONCENTRATION)

The Average Quantity, Quality or Concentration is the average value for the specific parameter obtained from all samples taken during the reporting period.  

 

MAXIMUM (QUANTITY, QUALITY, or CONCENTRATION)

The Maximum Quantity, Quality or Concentration is the maximum value for the specific parameter obtained from all samples taken during the reporting period.  

 

NO. EX.

This field represents the number of samples which exceed the limits for each parameter during the reporting period.

 

FREQUENCY OF ANALYSIS

The Frequency of Analysis is determined from the UPDES permit.  Typically these are specified as once/month or twice/month for each parameter.

 

SAMPLE TYPE

The Sample Type is the method used to collect the sample or parameter data.  These can be: Grab Sample: collected in an instant in time.  These are when samples are collected at a single time and submitted for laboratory analysis.   such as Settleable Solids, Total Dissolved Solids, or Total Suspended Solids; 

Visual Observation: Visual Observations are used for Oil and Grease.  When a Sheen is observed, then a sample should be collected for laboratory analysis for Oil & Grease. 

Measured value.     Measured values are used when field measurements are made such as a flow determination or Field pHs.
