CDX/NetDMR Training

Training for NetDMR is provided by both EPA and LDEQ. Information regarding account setup and DMR submission is very similar for both agencies.  Training links for both agencies and a list of LDEQ classes, including class descriptions, are provided below.

EPA Training

EPA training is conducted via web conference only.  These trainings provide permittees and data providers with an overview of the NetDMR application which will enable the online submission of Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs). Live webinar classes are scheduled periodically. A recording of the webinar is also available online for downloading and viewing.

Please check the EPA training website for additional information and resources (https://usepa.servicenowservices.com/oeca_icis?id=netdmr_homepage).

Note - The EPA training does not cover state specific attachment guidelines. LDEQ will only accept file attachments to DMRs in PDF format.
