How to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR) in MiEnviro

  • Step 1 - Accessing the DMR

    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.

  • Step 2 - Entering your information

    • 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.
