In an email from Gail Mills @ the DNR, the following instructions were given which outline the steps need to be done to complete the submittal process:
• click the validate button (the validation process calculates and displays the summary data; daily maximum, monthly average, etc. ) 
• compare the summary values to any limits in place and enter the number of violations (hopefully zero) in the boxes to the right of the permit limits 
• enter any comments if that information wasn't already entered by the upload process
• enter LODs/LOQs/lab certification numbers if that information wasn't already entered by the upload process 
• enter a capital Y in the QC Exceedance row if there were any problems
• save
• validate
• submit
• print, sign, and mail the Certification Sheet to the address listed (should be the same address you have been mailing paper DMRs to)
Once the Certification Sheet is received, information is entered in the database, and the file loads that evening.  Then an e-mail is sent acknowledging successful submission of the eDMR.

After  you are done validating your report, a separate window will appear:

You will also see the Certification page displayed.  Click [Print] then complete the form and sign it.  This is the form that needs to be mailed to the DNR as mentioned in the instructions above.

Click the [Logout] button and you’re finished!
