Georgia EPD to Offer GEOS and NetDMR Training

There are two different training courses occurring Thursday, June 9, 2016 for Georgia’s Environmental Protection Division. Both training sessions will take place at Chattahoochee Technical College’s North Metro Campus, located at 5198 Ross Road in Acworth, Georgia. Courses will be held in Building D, Room 417.

The first session is the EPD GEOS Training, which will take place from 9 a.m. until noon. This training is for the Georgia DNR Environmental Protection Division's Online Permitting & Reporting Services, known as GEOS. The purpose is to familiarize users with the functionality and features of the GEOS system. Please note that this training does not cover EPD specific requirements for data entry within the permit application or any EPD policy or regulation information. It is a technology training session to familiarize users with how to use the GEOS online portal.

 The second session is the EPD NetDMR Training from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. This is for the EPA NetDMR online tool. NetDMR is a web application that can be used to enter and submit data required to meet NPDES permit reporting requirements. Permit holders currently submit compliance monitoring data on Discharge Monitoring Report forms (DMRs) that are signed and mailed to a designated EPD office.  Use of NetDMR rather than submitting paper forms will be required by EPA starting December 21, 2016.
