미주리 환경자원 부서(Missouri Department of Natural Resources)는 최근 새로운 온라인 도구를 보급하여 미주리 하수 배출권 소지자들에게 요구되는 하수 배출 모니터링 보고서를 전자적으로 작성할 수 있도록 돕고 있다.

MDNR 관리자 새라 파커(Sara Parker Pauley)는 도시 관리 공무원들이 모인 자리에서 연설을 통해 어떻게 환경자원 부서가 이 전자동 배출 모니터링 보고서(eDMR)를 통해 효율성에 한발 더 다가서게 되었는지 설명하였다. "약 일년 전, 우리는 ePermitting을 통해 토지 분할 권리를 찾는 이들의 절차를 간소화하였습니다. 이제 eDMR을 통해 우리는 4,500에 이르는 하수 배출권 소지자들을 위해 보고 절차를 간소화할 수 있게 되었습니다."

JEFFERSON CITY, MO, June 28, 2013 -- A new online tool was released by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) that helps Missouri wastewater permit holders submit required wastewater discharge monitoring reports electronically. 

MDNR Director Sara Parker Pauley addressed a gathering of municipal leaders and explained how the department is taking another step in efficiency with the electronic discharge monitoring (eDMR) report. "Almost a year ago, we rolled out ePermitting, which simplified the process for those seeking land disturbance permits. With eDMR, we're simplifying the reporting process for Missouri's estimated 4,500 wastewater permit holders."

Some wastewater systems are required to submit discharge monitoring reports that summarize effluent monitoring results. The eDMR system allows wastewater treatment facilities to submit their reports via the internet. Historically, the reports were handled entirely through a paper recording and submission process. 

The eDMR system will be faster and more efficient than the current system and will greatly reduce the amount of time and labor wastewater facilities spend preparing these reports. Additionally, eDMR will save the department time and improve accuracy by eliminating potential errors that might be introduced by manual data entry. The eDMR system is the Department of Natural Resources' second major online initiative aimed at improving permitting time and efficiency. The ePermitting system, launched in June of last year, allows Missourians to apply for and receive land disturbance permits entirely online.
