NPDES Electronic Reporting Waiver

For NPDES permittees who are unable to meet the electronic reporting requirements, the rule provides flexibility for states to grant temporary or permanent waivers from electronic reporting. To obtain an electronic reporting waiver, permittees must first submit an electronic reporting waiver request by mail to:

Division of Water Resources
ATTN: Compliance & Enforcement Section
Davy Crockett Tower-9th Floor
500 James Robertson Parkway
Nashville, TN 37243

Requests must be submitted at least 120 days prior to the date the requestor is required to begin reporting. Applying for a waiver does not guarantee approval. The waiver is not effective until receipt of written approval from the Division.
