What does DMR stand for in wastewater regulatory reporting?

• A. Discharge Monitoring Requirements
• B. Discharge Monitoring Record
• C. Discharge Monitoring Report
• D. Discharge Management Report

Answer: (C)

In wastewater regulatory reporting, DMR stands for Discharge Monitoring Report. This is the official form you submit to show your monitoring results for the facility’s effluent and demonstrate compliance with the permit limits set under the NPDES program. The report aggregates data for the reporting period—parameter by parameter, with units, flow, and any exceedances—and is certified by the authorized representative. The other phrases refer to concepts like requirements, records, or management around discharge, but they do not denote the required regulatory document itself.
