DNR’s Electronic Business Tools

Here are the currently available tools and links to more information about each.

Once a person completes the Switchboard Registration steps, applicable tools are available via links in the What You Can Do section of the facility page. The facility page follows the contact page that's the first screen of the Switchboard after a person logs in.

These are hot links to sections of this listing. You can use these links or scroll down.

Note that the system titles below are links to additional information.

Electronic Discharge Monitoring Reporting (EDMR)
This system helps facilities with wastewater discharges meet their monthly reporting responsibilities. Submitting DMR's electronically is an alternative to the paper reporting requirements of the Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System program pursuant to S. 283.55, Wis. Stats., and chs. NR 205 and NR 214, Wis. Admin. Code.

The EDMR system provides multi-level access. People who enter and/or submit the monthly data are assigned by the facility. The authorized representative signs the certification document (currently a paper document) identifying that the data submitted was gathered and prepared under their supervision. DNR will send an e-mail to a confirmation person to document the accepted status of the data. The data file will be attached and must be retained by the facility.

Electronic Compliance Maintenance Annual Report (ECMAR)
This system helps facilities with wastewater discharges with their annual reporting.

People involved with the ECMAR system “enter” and/or “submit” the annual report. The eCMAR “enterer” is able to enter data and information, and validate the eCMAR sections. The “enterer” cannot submit the eCMAR form to the Department unless they have also been identified as the authorized “submitter.”A “submitter” is the individual authorized by your governing board, municipality, or owner to submit your completed eCMAR form to the Department. A “submitter” is only able to view entered data (read only mode). The “submitter” cannot enter data or information or validate sections unless they have also been identified as an authorized “enterer.” The Department will contact the individual identified as the authorized “submitter” if there are questions about the information submitted in the eCMAR form.

eApplication for Wastewater Permits
This system helps facility representatives submit complete applications for initial permits or for reissued permits under the Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System.

People typically involved in preparing and submitting an e-Application for a wastewater permit are those most familiar with the wastewater treatment plant or environmental system and an authorized representative. For a municipal system this might be the plant operator or superintendent and a public works director or an elected official. For an industrial facility, this might be a plant operator or an environmental manager and an owner or vice president of operations.

Drinking Water System (DWS)
The DWS allows laboratories to report the monitoring of public drinking water systems.

Laboratory Proficiency Testing (PT) Reporting
The PT Reporting tool allows commercial PT providers to report their customers' results to the DNR.

Air Emission Inventory and Hazardous Waste Internet Reporting
This is a secure web-based system for collecting Air Emission and/or Hazardous Waste information.
