CMR (Compliance Monitoring Report)

CMR (Compliance Monitoring Report)

A Compliance Monitoring Report (CMR) is a required environmental report submitted by facilities to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Environmental Management Bureau (DENR-EMB). It documents a facility’s adherence to permit conditions, including environmental management and pollution control measures.

As a professional environmental consultant, we help facilities prepare and submit DENR-compliant CMRs to avoid fines, penalties, or enforcement actions.

What Is a Compliance Monitoring Report (CMR)?

A CMR is a report used to:

  • Demonstrate compliance with Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) conditions
  • Report the status of pollution control measures for air, water, and hazardous waste permits
  • Ensure continuous monitoring and environmental protection

While the SMR is self-prepared, the CMR may require external validation or verification by DENR or accredited entities.

CMR Preparation Process (Step-by-Step)

  1. 1

    Collect Compliance Data

    Air emissions monitoring results, Wastewater discharge monitoring results, Hazardous and non-hazardous waste handling records, Pollution control device performance data.

  2. 2

    Complete CMR Forms

    Use DENR-provided CMR templates, include facility ID, permit numbers, and reporting period, and document deviations and corrective actions.

  3. 3

    Prepare Supporting Documents

    Laboratory analysis and monitoring reports, Equipment and device maintenance logs, and records of environmental management measures implemented.

  4. 4

    Submit CMR to DENR-EMB

    Online or hard copy submission depending on EMB requirements. Maintain records for internal auditing and verification.

  5. 5

    Respond to DENR Feedback

    Address deficiencies or comments and correct deviations and report actions taken.
