Permit and Report Identification Elements
| XML Element Path | Element Description |
|---|---|
eDMR/Submission/Facility/Report/ReportIdentification/PermitNumber | The permit to which the submission relates |
eDMR/Submission/Facility/Report/ReportIdentification/ |
ReportStartDate and ReportEndDate | The first and last day of the reporting period to which the submission relates |
| eDMR/Submission/Facility/Report/ReportIdentification/MonitoringLocationGroup and monitoringLocationName attribute | the Monitoring Point or Limit Set Name (e.g. 001A, 002B) |
Daily and Summary DMR Value Elements
| XML Element Path | Element Description |
|---|---|
| eDMR/Submission/Facility/Report/ReportIdentification/MonitoringLocationGroup/ParameterIdentification/ParameterCode | The five character parameter code used to uniquely identify a different constituent to be measured and reported. (e.g. 50050 = flow). If this value is omitted from the XML file, the System will attempt to look up the parameter code based on the ParameterName provided in the following XML element. |
| eDMR/Submission/Facility/Report/ReportIdentification/MonitoringLocationGroup/ParameterIdentification/ParameterName | the name of the parameter that identifies the constituent to be measured and reported. (e.g. Flow, CBOD5, etc.). This value can be omitted from the XML file if a valid parameter code is provided in the previous ParameterCode element. |
| eDMR/Submission/Facility/Report/ReportIdentification/MonitoringLocationGroup/ParameterIdentification/PCSLocationCode | The unique identifier indicating the location where the sample is taken (e.g. 1 = Final Effluent, G = Influent). If this value is omitted from the XML file, the System will attempt to look up the monitoring location code based on the MonitoringSiteDescription provided in the following XML element. |
| eDMR/Submission/Facility/Report/ReportIdentification/MonitoringLocationGroup/ParameterIdentification/MonitoringSiteDescription | The name of the location where the sample is taken (Final Effluent, Influent). This value can be omitted from the XML file if a valid monitoring location code is provided in the previous PCSLocationCode element. |
Summary DMR Values
Summary DMR limits and values are located within the eDMR/Submission/Facility/Report/ReportIdentification/MonitoringLocationGroup/MonitoringData/SummaryofMonitoringResult block. Each reported value must be contained within the SummaryofMonitoringResult block containing two child elements; a PermitRequirementforSummary element containing the limit to which the DMR value relates, and a SummaryResult block containing the reported DMR summary value. The PermitRequirementforSummary block is used by the System to identify the limit to which the reported value relates. The SummaryResult block contains the values to be extracted from the XML file and inserted into the DMR summary form.
The following elements are relative to the SummaryofMonitoringResult parent element.
| XML Element Path | Element Description |
|---|---|
| PermitRequirementforSummary/StatisticalBaseCode | The statistical base code for the limit such as "Maximum Daily". The text must match exactly with the statistical base code description associated with the reporting requirement in the System. |
| PermitRequirementforSummary/LimitValue | The permit limit. If not a numeric value, it can be either "(Report)" or "(Optional"). |
| PermitRequirementforSummary/LimitUnit | The unit related to the permit limit (e.g. "mg/L", "MGD"). |
SummaryResult/MeasurementQualifier | Less than or greater than sign, if applicable for the reported DMR value. |
| SummaryResult/MeasurementValue | The reported DMR value ("0.00004", or "*T" if a no discharge code is applicable). |
| SummaryResult/ResultComment/Comments | A text comment related to the reported value. |
Daily DMR Values
Daily DMR limits and values are located within the eDMR/Submission/Facility/Report/ReportIdentification/MonitoringLocationGroup/MonitoringData/IndividualMonitoringResult block.
Each reported value must be contained within the IndividualMonitoringResult block containing two child elements; a PermitRequirementforIndividual element containing the limit to which the DMR value relates, and a IndividualResult block containing the reported DMR daily value. The PermitRequirementforIndividual block is used by the System to identify the limit to which the reported value relates. The IndividualMonitoringResult block contains the values to be extracted from the XML file and inserted into the DMR daily form.
The following elements are relative to the IndividualMonitoringResult parent element.
| XML Element Path | Element Description |
|---|---|
| PermitRequirementforIndividual/StatisticalBaseCode | The statistical base code for the limit such as "Maximum Daily". The text must match exactly with the statistical base code description associated with the reporting requirement in the System. |
| PermitRequirementforIndividual/LimitValue | The permit limit. If not a numeric value, it can be either "(Report)" or "(Optional"). |
PermitRequirementforIndividual/LimitValue | The permit limit. If not a numeric value, it can be either "(Report)" or "(Optional"). |
| PermitRequirementforIndividual/LimitUnit | The unit related to the permit limit (e.g. "mg/L", "MGD"). |
| IndividualResult/MeasurementQualifier | Less than or greater than sign, if applicable for the reported DMR value. |
| IndividualResult/MeasurementValue | The reported DMR value ("0.00004", or "*T" if a no discharge code is applicable). |
| IndividualResult/MonitoringStartDate | The date when the Daily DMR value sample was taken. |
| IndividualResult/ResultComment/Comments | A text comment related to the reported value. |
Example XML File
The following example shows a valid XML file containing one Summary and one Daily result. The portions highlighted in Bold Red would be inserted by the reporter to indicate the DMR values to insert into the DMR daily and summary forms.
