INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE WASTEWATER DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORT Read these instructions as well as the SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE WASTEWATER DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORT before completing the DMR. Hard copies and/or electronic copies of the required parts of the DMR were provided with the permit. All required information shall be completed in full and typed or printed in ink. A signed, original DMR shall be mailed to the address printed on the DMR by the 281h of the month following the monitoring period. The DMR shall not be submitted before the end of the monitoring period. The DMR consists of three parts--A, B, and D--all of which may or may not be applicable to every facility . Facilities may have one or more Part A's for reporting effluent or reclaimed water data. All domestic wastewater facilities will have a Part B for reporting daily sample results . Part D is used for reporting ground water monitoring well data. When results are not available, the following codes should be used on parts A and D of the DMR and an explanation provided where appropriate. Note: Codes used on Part B for raw data are different. CODE DESCRIPTION/INSTRUCTIONS CODE DESCRIPTION/INSTRUCTIONS ANC Analysis not conducted. NOD No discharge from/to site. DRY Dry Well OPS Operations were shutdown so no sample could be taken. FLD Flood disaster. OTH Other. Please enter an explanation of why monitoring data were not available. IFS Insufficient flow for sampling. SEF Sampling equipment failure. LS Lost sample. MNR Monitoring not re uired this period. When reporting analyticrl results that fall below a laboratory ' s reported method detection limits or practical quantification limits, the following instructions should be used: 1 . Results greater than or equal zo the PQL shall be reported as the measured quantity. 2. Results less than the PQL and greater than or equal to the MDL shall be reported as the laboratory's MDL value. These values shall be deemed equal to the MDL when necessary to calculate an average for that parameter and when determining compliance with permit limits. 3 . Results less than the MDL shall be reported by entering a less than sign ("<") followed by the laboratory's MDL value, e.g. < 0.001 . A value of one-half the MDL or one-half the effluent limit, whichever is lower, shall be used for that sample when necessary to calculate an average for that parameter. Values less than the MDL are considered to demonstrate compliance with an effluent limitation. PART A -DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORT (DMR) Part A of the DMR is comprised of one or more sections, each having its own header information. Facility information is preprinted in the header as well as the monitoring group number, whether the limits and monitoring requirements are interim or final, and the required submittal frequency (e.g. monthly, annually, quarterly, etc.). Submit Part A based on the required reporting frequency in the header and the instructions shown in the permit. The following should be cor:.pleted by ':he permittee or authorized representative: No Discharge From Ste: Check this box if no discharge occurs and, as a result, there are no data or codes to be entered for all of the parameters on the DMR for the entire monitoring group number; however, if the monitoring group includes other monitoring lo ;ations (e.g., influent sampling), the "NOD" code should be used to individually denote those parameters for which there was no discharge. Monitoring Period: Enter the mor_th, day, and year for the first and last day of the monitoring period (i .e. the month, the quarter, the year, etc.) during which the data on this report were collected and analyzed. Sample Measurement: Before filling in sample measurements in the table, check to see that the data collected correspond to the limit indicated on the DMR (i.e. interim or final) and that the data correspond to the monitoring group number in the header. Enter the data or calculated results for each parameter on this row in the non-shaded area above the limit. Be sure the result being entered corresponds to the appropriate statistical base code (e.g. annual average, monthly average, single sample maximum, etc.) and units. No. Ex.: Enter the number of sample measurements during the monitoring period that exceeded the permit limit for each parameter in the non-shaded area. If none, enter zero. Frequency of Analysis: The shaded areas in this column contain the minimum number of times the measurement is required to be made according to the permit. Enter the actual number of times the measurement was made in the space above the shaded area. Sample Type: The shaded areas in this column contain the type of sample (e.g. grab, composite, continuous) required by the permit. Enter the actual sample type that was taken in the space above the shaded area. Signature: This report must be signed in accordance with Rule 62-620.305, F.A.C . Type or print the name and title of the signing official. Include the telephone number where the official may be reached in the event there are questions concerning this report. Enter the date when the report is signed. Comment and Explanction of Any Violations: Use this area to explain any exceedances, any upset or by-pass events, or other items which require explanation. If more space is needed, reference all attachments in this area. DEP Form 62-620.910( 10), effective November 29, 1994
