WHAT THE MEASURE IS SHOWING
WHY THIS MEASURE IS IMPORTANT
Self-Monitoring Reports (SMRs) are the primary tool to assess compliance with permit requirements. SMRs are submitted with different frequencies and with different purposes. At a minimum, all regulated facilities are required to submit an annual report, with most facilities also required to submit quarterly reports. Some dischargers may also be required to submit monthly reports and other technical reports. SMRs contain the information required to assess the quality of a regulated facility's discharge and the facility's compliance with its permit. SMRs typically include both the data required by the permit as well as any additional date the permitted has collected, consistent with permit requirements. SMRs often include an assessment of discharge conditions, analysis performed by a certified laboratory, and field measurements (such as pH and stream flow). Regional Water Board staff review reports to determine if the reports are complete, and if the reported values are within the permitted limits. In 2010, the Water Boards transitioned to tracking both paper and electronic form monitoring reports due, received, and reviewed in the CIWQS database. This card shows the progress towards tracking monitoring and reviewing reports from all permitted facilities.
TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
- Data Source: CIWQS. Period July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018.
- Unit of Measure: Number of self-monitoring reports that were due, received or reviewed during FY 17-18.

GLOSSARY
- All other WDR facilities
- All facilities that treat and/or dispose of wastes that do not fall into one of the Municipal, Industrial and Agricultural Waste categories. It does not include Dairies or other Confined Animal facilities.
- CIWQS
- The California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS) is a web-based relational database for core regulatory data. Using this system, both staff and the public can access data related to places of environmental interest, permits and other orders, inspections and violations and enforcement activities.
- Self Monitoring Report
- The form used to report self-monitoring results by regulated facilities. Self Monitoring: Sampling and analyses performed by a facility to determine compliance with a permit or other regulatory requirements.
- Waste Discharge Requirements Program
- The Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) Program regulates all point source discharges of waste to land that do not require full containment (which falls under the Land Discharge Program), or are not subject to the NPDES Program.
