Biosolids Annual Reports (BAR) and Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR)

Every facility that can generate biosolids must submit an annual report and discharge monitoring report (DMR) by October 30th of every year into our database, called MiEnviro Portal. 

Below is a tutorial on completing the biosolids annual report and discharge monitoring reports.

MiEnviro Portal

We use a permitting and compliance database called MiEnviro.  All biosolids annual reports are now submitted through MiEnviro. The current biosolids annual reports form is available in MiEnviro.

How to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR) in MiEnviro

  • Once you have navigated to your site, you can access your DMR through either:

    • Your facility’s dashboard
      • If entering information for an upcoming annual report, It should appear on your priority tab.
    • The Discharge Monitoring Reports Tab
      • In the frequency column, look for the “annual” frequency
      • If you have more than one annual report, look at the date range October-September.

    • There is no daily tab for biosolids, and it should default to the summary tab.
    • If your facility did not land apply, select the “no discharge box.”
      • Do not enter zeros or Asterix codes in the columns.
    • If your facility did land apply, enter the minimum, average and maximum for all parameters.
      • If you only have one analysis, enter the same number in all three columns.
