The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (OKDEQ) is providing a
web-enabled electronic environmental (E2) reporting system for wastewater
facilities to streamline the management of discharge monitoring reports
(DMRs) required under the Oklahoma wastewater regulation program.
The E2 DMR systems provides wastewater facilities with an alternative
way to submit DMR data and allow the OKDEQ to electronically validate the
data, acknowledge receipt, and upload data to state's central
wastewater database.
Implementing this new system will reach the goal of improving the
management of data associated with the Department's wastewater monitoring
program. The E2 system will:
- Save wastewater treatment facilities compliance
costs with a streamlined reporting method and readily available computer
tools.
- Save programmatic costs by reducing resources
required for managing paper-based DMR reports.
- Improve the accuracy of compliance data by
eliminating potential errors that will be otherwise introduced through
manual data entry.
- Improve the state wastewater discharge treatment
programs' overall effectiveness while offering alternatives for less
process to the regulated community.
