### Appendix A to Part 127 **[ DRAFT FOR SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICE** 

**– CLEAN VERSION**  **]** The following two tables identify the minimum set of data that states, tribes, territories, and NPDES
-regulated entities must electronically

report to the designated initial recipient (NPDES authorized program or EPA) [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)]. Use of these two tables ensure s that there is consistent and complete reporting nationwide, and expeditious collection and processing of the data, thereb y making it more accurate and timely. Taken together, these data standardizations and the corresponding electronic reporting requirements in 40 CFR 3, 1 22, 123, 127, 403, and 503 are designed to save the NPDES authorized programs considerable resources, make reporting easi er for NPDES
-regulated entities, streamline permit renewals (as permit writers typically review previous noncompliance events during permit renewal), ensure full exchange of NPDES program data between states and EPA to the public, improve environmental dec ision
-making, and protect human health and the environment. **Instructions:** Table 1 provides the list of data sources and minimum submission frequencies for the ten different NPDES Data Groups. Table 2 provides the data that must be electronically reported for each of these NPDES Data Groups
. The use of each data element is determined b y identifying the number(s) in the column labeled “NPDES Data Group Number” in Table 2 and finding the corresponding “NPDES Data Group Number” in Table 1. For example, a value of “ 1” in Table 2 means that this data element is required in the transmission of data from the NPDES program to EPA (Core NPDES Permitting, Compliance, and Enforcement Data)
. Likewise, a value of “1 through 10 ” in Table 2 means that this data element is required in all ten NPDES data groups.12/8/14 Page | 2 **Table 1 : Data Sources and Regulatory Citations**  **1 NPDES**  **Data Group**  **Number 2**  **NPDES Data Group Program** **Area Data Provider**  **Minim um** **Frequency 3**

or within 30 days of receipt of a report from a regulated entity [see 127.23(a)(1)]
. However, the frequency associated with any particular permittee may be considerably less [e.g., once every five years for most permit information]. 2 General Permit Reports [Notice s of Intent to discharge (NOI s); Notice s of Termination (NOT s); No Exposure Certifications (NECs); Lo w Erosivity Waivers (LEWs)] [40 CFR 122.28 and 124.5 ] All NPDES Program Sectors NPDES Permittee Prior to General Permit Issuance , Consideration for Permit Exclusion or Waiver from Permitting , and Permit Coverage Termination 3 Discharge Monitoring Reports [40 CFR 122.41(l)(4)] Most NPDES Program Sectors NPDES Permittee At least annual, although a more frequent submission required in the permit would

apply 4 Biosolids Annual Program Reports [40 CFR 503] Biosolids NPDES Regulated Biosolids Generator and Handler Annual 5 Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) Annual Program Reports [40 CFR 122.42(e)(4)] CAFO CAFO Annual 6 Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Program Reports [40 CFR 122.34(g)(3) and 122.42(c)] MS4 NPDES Permittee Year two and year four of permit coverage (Small MS4), Annual (Medium and Large

**Note 1:** NPDES regulated entities regulated by a NPDES permit will comply with all reporting requirements in their respective NPDES permit. 2 **Note 2**  **:** Use the “NPDES Data Group Number” in this table and the “NPDES Data Group Number” column in Table 2 to identify the source of the required data entry . EPA notes that electronic systems may use additional data to facilitate electronic reporting as we ll as management and reporting of electronic data
. For example, NPDES permittees may be required to enter their NPDES permit number (“NPDES ID ”

– NPDES Data Group 1 and 2 ) into the applicable electronic reporting system in order to identify their permit and submit a Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR
- NPDES Data Group 3 ). Additionally, NPDES regulated entities may be required to enter and submit data to update or correct erroneous data. For example, NPDES permittees may be required to enter new data regarding the Facility Individual First Name and Last Name (NPDES Data Group 1 and 2 ) with their DMR submission when there is a facility personnel change. **Note 3:**  The applicable reporting frequency is specified in the NPDES permit or control mechanism, which may be more frequent than the minimum frequenc y specified in Table 1. **Note 4:**  NPDES regulated entities that have no historical record (e.g., “greenfield” facilities) do not need to provide data elements that rely on historical data elements. For example, the following data element relies on historical data: Biosolids or Sewage Sludge Amount (Permit)
- The amount of biosolids (in dry metric tons) produced by the permitted facility in the preceding 365
- day period for each different type of biosolids and sewage sludge generated by the facility.12/8/14 Page | 4

**Note 5:** For the purposes of this Appendix , biosolids refers to treated or processed domestic sewage sludge. **Note 6:** Authorized states will be the data provider in the event an event where the regulated entity is covered by a waiver from electronic reporting.12/8/14 Page | 5 **Table 2**  **: Required NPDES Data**
