Electronic Discharge Monitoring Reports (eDMR)

The Electronic Discharge Monitoring Reports (eDMR) system is used by the regulated community to submit its discharge monitoring reports. This report is a type of wastewater monitoring report that may be required for a facility discharging pollutants from a point source into waters of the United States under the Clean Water Act (CWA). DMRs are submitted monthly, quarterly or semi-annually, depending on the permit conditions listed in the facility's Missouri State Operating permit. 

Accessing eDMR

The eDMR system is accessed through the department's Missouri Gateway for Environmental Management (MoGEM) online portal. You must have a MoGEM account in order to access eDMR. 

• Users who do not have a MoGEM account will need to register online as a new user, selecting eDMR as the e-Services to access. The department no longer accepts paper applications for eDMR registration. For more information, review Registering for a New User Account within the Missouri Gateway for Environmental Management (MoGEM) Portal.
• Users who have an existing MoGEM account do not need to create another account to access eDMR. Users can add eDMR as an e-Service to the current account as a new ‘Program’. For more information, review Add an eService to an Existing MoGEM Account publication.

Once your MoGEM account is created, you will need to login to the MoGEM online portal to access eDMR. If you need assistance, or are experiencing issues with MoGEM, please fill out a MoGEM App Issues Concern Form. If you have questions or are having difficulties finding what you need in eDMR, contact the eDMR Helpdesk. If for some reason you are unable to use eDMR, you will need to submit an Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report Waiver Request Form MO 780-2692 to the department.

Associating to a Facility

Once a user has an account registered in MoGEM, they will then need to associate to a facility. Each user will have an approved role in the eDMR system for each facility. This role determines what actions the user can take for that specific facility.

• Organization Official - There must be at least one organization official for each organization. This person must be an authorized person or a duly authorized representative of the organization and should be the first to access the MoGEM portal for an organization. This role is responsible for connecting and managing people in other roles to the facility. This role can sponsor people in other roles; accept or reject pending requests for the organization; and add, edit, certify or sign permit/report information. The organization official will have the ability to eSign documents and approve others to eSign documents. Only an organization official can enter a new organization in Shared CROMERR Services.
• Certifier - Can add, edit, certify or sign report information.
• Preparer - Can add or edit report information, but cannot certify it or sign it.
• Viewer - Can only view report information.

All roles must be approved by the organization official before they are associated to a specific facility. For additional instructions, review the document How to Associate to a Facility.
