Integrated Data Management
Combine industrial monitoring data with wastewater treatment plant data to evaluate industrial impact on the community’s wastewater treatment plant. Data is also evaluated to determine appropriate monitoring frequencies and to identify pollutants of concern.
Industrial User Reporting Evaluation
Industrial User Reports are evaluated for compliance. Reports can be generated to demonstrate industrial compliance and to identify instances of noncompliance.
NPDES Reporting
DROP Collaborative’s data management system is capable of generating electronic data for upload into electronic reporting for operating permit compliance.

- Industrial User Inspections — pre-inspection checklists, in-app documentation, and prioritized follow-up.
- Enforcement Response Plan — logic-based violation documentation and enforcement generation; industrial users see their own status.
- Compliance Tracking — permits, self-monitoring results, and correspondence centralized for every industrial user.
- Audit-Ready Recordkeeping — full audit trail of entries, edits, and deletions across all modules.
- Report Submittal (coming soon) — CROMERR-compliant industrial user report submission with automated violation detection.
- FOG (fats, oils, and grease) Program Management — clean-out tracking, manifest uploads, inspection scheduling.
- Automated Email Notifications — configurable alerts for violations, enforcements, and inspection reviews.
- Program Calculations — built-in support for SNC determinations, local limit evaluations, permit renewals, and surcharge billing.
