Illinois EPA Director announces 100 recipients to receive $500 grants from the Agency
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. --- Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Director Doug Scott announced that the Agency has chosen 100 permitted wastewater treatment facilities to receive $500 grants.
The 100 recipients were randomly chosen from a pool of 324 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) facilities that registered to use the Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) system between January 1 and June 30, 2006. The Illinois EPA sent congratulatory notifications to all 100 winners along with a written agreement, which will enable them to collect the grant.
"We are hopeful this grant will enable our smaller facilities that may have limited resources to take advantage of the efficiency of electronic reporting," said Director Scott. "The eDMR system will benefit both the facilities and the IEPA by reducing paperwork, thus getting the job done faster."
The eDMR grant program is funded by a $50,000 grant from the U.S. EPA to promote the usage of the eDMR system. The $500 grants can be utilized on costs associated with the system, such as computer equipment, Internet connection, etc. It can also be used for other costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the NPDES permitted facility.
The eDMR system is a paperless Internet-based reporting system designed to assist with reporting requirements. There is no charge to use the system, and participation is voluntary. It not only reduces the amount of paperwork, but it is more efficient with its improved speed and accuracy in reporting, and the convenient form completion. The system first became available for use in April 2004 and has seen over 1,300 new users since its inception.
