Your compliance record is public. Late and missing reports show up on EPA's online database, where anyone can look up your facility: regulators, neighbors, and the press.

Is This You?

  • Your DMRs go in late, or not at all.
  • You got a letter or Notice of Violation from DEEP or EPA.
  • Nobody on staff really understands the MOR or NetDMR.
  • The person who did your reports left, and nobody picked it up.
  • You're not sure your lab data would hold up to an audit.
  • Your operators need certification, and nobody has time to train them.

If even one of these sounds familiar, let's talk. The sooner it's fixed, the less it costs you.

What I Take Off Your Plate:

You keep running your system. I handle the numbers, the forms, and the deadlines, and I flag problems in your data before DEEP does.

Monthly DEEP Compliance Reporting

Every month I prepare your reports from your lab and operating data, check every result against your permit limits, and hand them back ready to certify. You review and submit in NetDMR. One flat monthly fee, no surprises.

Monthly Operating Reports (MOR), Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR), and nitrogen reports.

Catch-Up and Violation Help

Behind on reports, or holding a Notice of Violation from DEEP or EPA? I'll get you current, organized, and back in good standing, fast.

Compliance Check-Up

I review your last 12 months of reports and lab data, then give you a plain-language report of the errors, the risks, and exactly what to fix.

Training, Lab, and Operations Support:

Reporting is only as good as the people, the lab, and the process behind it. I help with all three, on site or remotely.

Hi, I'm Danielle Morrison

I've spent more than 20 years in Connecticut wastewater: running treatment plants, managing operators, working side by side with DEEP, and preparing compliance reports month after month. I spent 15 years managing the lab and running every test at a 9 MGD plant, after starting my career as an analyst at a contract lab, so I know what good data looks like and exactly where it goes wrong.

Small systems deserve the same level of care as big plants. My job is to make your reporting the one thing you never have to worry about.
