Stormwater Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Forms for Individual Permits

Below are generic DMR forms:

• Generic Individual Permit DMR Form
• Generic Annual DMR Form
• Qualitative Monitoring Form

How to Submit Paper DMRs Before eDMR is Implemented

The Stormwater Program is planning for NPDES Stormwater Industrial individual permitted facilities to use electronic Discharge Monitoring Reports in 2022.  Until your facility begins using eDMR, follow this NEW procedure for submitting eDMRs:

• Download the Generic Individual Permit DMR Form.
• Complete, sign, scan and upload the DMR to the NPDES Stormwater Permit Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Upload form within 30 days of receiving sampling results.
• Mail the original, signed hard copy of the DMR to the appropriate DEMLR Regional Office. 
• Do not send DMRs to Central Files in Raleigh!  (This is a change from the previous procedure.)
• Note that DMR forms have recently been updated.
