- not a publically traded company
SBEAP operates in accordance with the confidentiality option provided by the EPA Enforcement Response Policy, effective August 12, 1994, regarding Section 507 of the Clean Air Act. Under this policy, violations detected through assistance will be kept confidential.
Small Business Environmental Assistance – Concerning grants, loans, etc.
LDEQ's SBEAP helps the regulated community understand the environmental regulations that may affect them. SBEAP does not issue grants, loans, etc. Here are some other agencies that may be helpful:
CDX/NetDMR Assistance
SBEAP offers assistance with NetDMR. NetDMR is a web-based tool that allows facilities to electronically sign and submit LPDES discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) to the LDEQ. For information about NetDMR, click here.

- Beginning August 16, 2024, CDX/NetDMR will have a new login process with LOGIN.GOV.
