Is your industrial facility permitted under the Multi-Sector Generic Permit for Stormwater Discharge (MSGP)? Are you in Year 2 or Year 4 of your permit? If the answer to these two questions is a yes, then you may be required to submit what is known as an analytical monitoring, or Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR). DMR’s are to be conducted each calendar quarter starting in year two of your MSGP coverage. The results from year two will determine if any best management practices should be implemented to prevent pollutants from leaving the facility. In your year four MSGP coverage, you will require additional DMR reports to determine if the facility’s impact on reducing the pollutants leaving the site.
Stormwater runoff can pollute waterbodies by encountering your exposed materials and industrial activities. A quarterly DMR procedure requires the facility to collect a water sample at a designated, pre-determined, outfall location(s) to provide information about the quality of water being discharged from your site. The average pollutant level of the four quarterly samples, also called the Analytical Monitoring Report, must then be submitted electronically to the FL Department of Environmental Protection (FLDEP) through a program called EzDMR system.
