DSW Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report Submission System (e-DMR's)

The eDMR data reporting system is entirely web-based and accessible via Internet Explorer through any internet connection.   It is accessible via the Ohio EPA eBusiness Center which is a new, secure portal for online business services.   The eBusiness Center initially only included eDMR, the wastewater 4500 & 4519 Form reporting system, although over time has incorporated many other Division services for you to use trough your personal account.

How to Sign Up for e-DMR?

e-DMR is the required submittal method for Form 4500 & 4519 monthly and semiannual reports and is available statewide.   Access to eDMR is gained thorugh your personal eBusiness Center account.  All new users will start by creating an Ohio EPA eBusiness Center account.  Once logged in, apply for a PIN.  Once you receive your PIN you can add all of your facilities to gain access to their reports and submit data when required.   This new system provides many features. Some include: copy and paste from Microsoft Excel, its entirely on the internet, user friendly interface, secure, the ability to import XML files from other database software, more than 1 user account can have access to a facilities reports, and delegation of rights so others can perform data entry. e-DMR was developed first and will hopefully be followed by the inclusion of an NPDES permit renewal application system in the future.  It is also envisioned that many other DSW forms will be accessible through this online application in the near future.

eDMR Progress & Success

Nearly 3700 facility reports are received monthly via e-DMR.  100% of all permitted facilities report their data each month via eDMR which is automatically loaded into the Agency's database.  Transmittal is fast and efficient.  Given the success of eDMR the Agency has been able to roll out several other services through the Ohio EPA eBusiness Center.
