4. Multi-State Hazardous Waste Information Exchange WasteX April 18-19, 2006 San Francisco, CA

5. Presentation Outline Purpose Prove the concept of data exchange between states using the Node Business Need Tracking Interstate Hazardous Waste shipments WasteX Application (Node demonstration) WA OR ; OR to OR ; WA to WA Next Steps Developing a Generic Interface Prototype Manifest Discrepancy Report (better tool) Conclusions and Recommendations

6. Where is Washington?

7. Washington is Most Famous For? Mt. Rainier

8. Washington is Most Famous For? Mt. St. Helens WasteX

9. Purpose of WasteX Last year these are the questions we were asking: Can we data exchange manifest data between states using the Environmental Exchange Network Is the technology needed available? Build the flow without a national standard? Create a new flow using the existing Nodes at two states ( WA and OR)? What is the level of effort? LOW YES

10. Business Rule: Interstate Shipments of Hazardous Waste (HW) Those who generate HW must send it to a Treatment Storage Disposal Facility (TSDR) which is permitted for that type of waste. Large Quantity Generators must report on a Generation and Management form (GM). TSDR s must report the waste they receive on a Waste received form (WR).

11. Business Need: Tracking Interstate Shipments of HW Tracking Hazardous Waste Generation and Management The “Implementer” (Tribe, State…) must have a solution to manage the information, and provide data to EPA every other year (2001, 2003 …) BRSEPA stores data in the Biennial Report System (BRS) – now part of RCRAInfo. every other yearBRS provides some reconciliation between implementers, but only every other year at the facility level. Tracking Interstate Shipments of HW (State option) Only some States track data annually and by manifest

12. Manifested Hazardous Waste Leaving Washington in 2005 107,991910 pounds 9,775 manifests

13. Manifested Hazardous Waste Entering Washington State in 2005 40,101,239 pounds 9,094 manifests

14. Movement of Hazardous Waste Manifests between WA – OR (WA TurboWaste.Net data only) WA OR 2,904 manifests 95,898,757 lbs 3,923 manifests 13,223,293 lbs

15. Data Management of Hazardous Waste Shipments (HW) The Node presents an opportunity for On-Line data sharing for sharing HW manifest data: “Did they receive what we sent?” Implementers can place data on their Network Node as soon as it is available

16. Washington and Oregon Similarities Washington State and Oregon require annual submissions of data. Track HW shipments by manifest. WA and OR have similar solutions.

29. Exposes Exposes Opens the data to review Opens data for field inspectors  Exposes data quality problems Exposes data quality problems Data Sharing Challenges [

30. Making WasteX “Operational” Mitch West mentioned a new phrase: operational Making the Exchange Network “operational” query Solicit We have to use more conversational terminology Making reports easier to read Reviewing User Interface (UI) designs Making the “Decoder Ring” to tame XML

31. Concept: Manifest Discrepancy Report QUANTITYMANIFESTSHIPDATEGENERATORRECEIVER QUANTITYMANIFESTSHIPDATERECEIVERGENERATOR It’s the differences in manifests and quantities that we are interested in + Diff Simply put, it is a check and balance report.

32. Manifest Discrepancy Report Operational Terminology: How big is the problem?

38. Next Steps in WasteX between WA – OR Step 2 Push data to Node Confirm WasteX results Step 1 Test Hypothesis of Lost Manifests Set up work team WA-OR Review each State’s data

39. Return on Investment (ROI) Design the exchange (XML schema, FCD) costs about 7K One time expense, in theory other states could just adopt the design Estimate 5K to build the user interface part for TurboWaste.Net Estimate about $10K – to develop for another State Need to factor in cost to change regulatory framework, IT system changes, etc. in the cost/benefit analysis

40. Conclusions Technology is here today – where are you? Methods and techniques are fairly straight forward Is possible to create a data flow without a National Data Standard All partners must agree Be willing to rework Node following a national standard Opens new business opportunities for state cooperation Approximately $12,000 to build prototype

41. Next Steps for WasteX in Washington State Review Data Mapping (TurboWaste database has changed since first release of WasteX) Test Hypothesis of Lost Manifests Set up work team WA-OR Review data Push data to Node Confirm WasteX results

42. Next Steps for WasteX Is WasteX the right application for determining manifest discrepancy reporting? Develop simple tool for determining manifest discrepancies Develop a generic interface concept Define requirements

43. Follow sound project management principles Recommendation #1

44. Recommendation #2 It has to be Win-Win for everybody

45. Recommendation #3 Know where you are going

46. Recommendation #4 WasteX application shows that there are many ways to use the Node capabilities
