EPA, Software Vendors to Test Feasibility Of Electronic Reporting for W?ter Monitoring

摘要

The Environmental Protection Age icy will work with vendors during the next few months to determine whether they can develop software allowing the regulated community to submit Clean Water Act compliance monitoring data electronically, EPA staff said July 13. Providing this "proof-of-concept demonstration" is successful, the agency intends to propose by the end of this calendar year a rule that would require electronic submission of most National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit data, said Lucy Reed, deputy director of the Enforcement Targeting and Data Division within EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.
