Online Reporting

The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) Industrial Online Reporting System (IORS) is a CROMERR-compliant web-based reporting system that allows permitted industrial users to electronically submit reports, permit renewal applications and annual statements to MCES.

To meet CROMERR regulations, we require each individual to create their own IORS account. We do not allow sharing accounts.

Training for online reporting

If you would like to schedule a training session with one of our IORS support team members, please email us at MCESIndustrialOnlineReporting@metc.state.mn.us with your request. We will work with you to find a date, time, and place (in-person, by phone, or Microsoft Teams meeting) to conduct the training.
