Tis the semi-annual monitoring report season! Many facilities with KPDES general wastewater discharge permits and/or with air permits have semi -annual reports due on July 28 (DMRs) or July 30 (SAMRs).

KPDES Discharge Monitoring Reporting (DMRs) for general industrial stormwater permit KYR00 have a semi-annual reporting deadline of January 28 and July 28. To help permittees comply, the Kentucky DEP Division of Compliance Assistance (DCA) has updated the Discharge Monitoring Report Manual.  It is full of good information on how to create, access and manage your netDMR account and on how to report data and the lack of data.  EPA also has a Permittee User Guide and provides online netDMR training.

Many KDAQ permits require a semi-annual monitoring report (SAMR) on January 30 and July 30 for the life of the permit. Each permit has specific monitoring requirements, and the SMAR is a summary of the monitoring performed for the reporting period. The KDEP DCA provides training for Semi Annual Monitoring Reports (SAMRs). Note that if your facility is located in Jefferson County your SAMR date may vary.
