Purpose of WasteXPurpose 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

Business Rule: Business Rule: Interstate Shipments of Hazardous Waste (HW)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).

Business Need: Business Need: Tracking Interstate Shipments of HWTracking Interstate Shipments of HW

Tracking Hazardous Waste Generation and ManagementTracking 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 …)

• EPA stores data in the Biennial Report System (BRSBRS) – now part of RCRAInfo.

• BRS provides some reconciliation between implementers, but only every other yearevery other year at the facility level.

Tracking Interstate Shipments of HW (State option)Tracking Interstate Shipments of HW (State option) • Only some States track data annually and by manifest

Data Management of Hazardous Waste Data Management of Hazardous Waste Shipments (HW)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

Washington and Oregon SimilaritiesWashington and Oregon Similarities

• Washington State and Oregon require annual submissions of data.

• Track HW shipments by manifest.

• WA and OR have similar solutions.

Mitch West mentioned a new phrase:

Making the Exchange Network “operationaloperational”• 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

Next Steps in WasteX between Next Steps in WasteX between WA – ORWA – 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

Return on Investment (ROI)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

ConclusionsConclusions

• 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
