Upcoming Deadline for MSGP Facilities to Report in NetDMR
February 2024—Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) facilities must submit electronic Discharge Monitoring Reports of all required monitoring results by March 31, 2024.
Facilities must report results through the NetDMR electronic reporting system if they do any of the following:
- Meet federal effluent limits within sectors A, C, D, E, J, O, and S. Part III.C.2 Table 3 of the MSGP ( TXR050000) lists all activities required to meet federal effluent limits.
- Meet numeric effluent limits for hazardous metals and must report exceeding a limit.
- Meet benchmark monitoring requirements.
- Discharge a pollutant of concern at a level of concern directly into an impaired water body.
Facilities that meet the preceding criteria must report their results for the monitoring period of Jan. 1, 2023 through Dec. 31, 2023.
If you report your results to TCEQ on paper forms without an electronic reporting waiver, we will return them to you and your submittal will not fulfill your reporting requirements.
Exceptions to Reporting in NetDMR
TCEQ may grant a temporary waiver from electronic reporting in some cases for each facility. For information on how to obtain a temporary waiver, contact the Stormwater Processing Center at 512-239-3700.
