The FacTS Environmental Reporting Suite provide key
tools for compliance with environmental legislation regarding hazardous
chemicals. This suite is designed to help EH&S professionals
produce reports for submission, for internal review, and for trend
analysis of all environmental incidents occurring on site.

Chemical Inventory Tracking
This feature allows users to track the movement of chemical products at
the ingredient level from the time of receipt through final
disposition. It tracks movement both within and between facilities, in
both bulk and container mode. It also tracks moves from container to
container.

Emissions & Effluent Management
This feature allows users to ensure compliance with Title IV, Title V,
and other Clean Air Act regulations and provides input for SARA 313
Reports. Users can estimate air and water emissions and prepare the
necessary permits. Automatic notification flags tell users when permit
conditions are likely to be exceeded and warn them when they're out of
compliance. The system is pre-loaded with AP-42 equations, and allows
the user to define and use custom equations.

Environmental Excursions Reporting
This feature allows users to identify and track incidents and their
associated spills and spill responses; flag CERCLA or SARA reportable
spills; and track calls made to regulatory agencies. FacTS
automatically determines whether the incident is reportable and
advises users of contact actions.
In FacTS, all event reporting is
based on a time-bound occurrence (something that happened at a specific
time); the process begins with an Incident report. An Incident is an
event that happened that was out of the ordinary. This could be as
serious as a major accident, a leakage, or an earthquake that results
in damage to the physical plant or to personnel.
However, an Incident may also be recorded for an inspection, an opacity
monitor mal-activity, or a "near-miss." For the purposes of trend
analysis, it can be almost as important to log near misses as the more
serious types of occurrences. Incidents can be directly linked to three
other critical records within FacTS: Spill, Vehicle Accident and
Injury-Illness. In each case, the reporting procedure is the same:
create an Incident record and then associate a Spill, an Accident or an
Injury-Illness record with that Incident.

List of Lists
This function provides the ability to create and maintain an unlimited
number of Federal, State, local, internal and custom regulatory lists
from any source.
It associates data (including issuing agency, regulated substance, and
reportable quantity) to each list. A number of Federal Environmental
Lists are provided standard with this feature. Once a list is created,
a
variety of reports are included that can be run against the lists.

Permit Tracking
This feature allows users to build and maintain tables that describe an
unlimited number of permit types, issuing agencies, issued dates,
expiration dates, renewal dates, permit conditions, and required tests
to meet permit conditions. Any out-of-permit conditions are noted and
the user is alerted while signing on. Various specialized data tracking
for over 10 types of permits is provided.

Sample Tracking
This feature allows users to track any type of analytical work such as
lab samples, wastewater discharge samples, ambient air samples, and
employee audiometric results. Users have full chain-of-custody
capability and a series of reports that identify the status of each
sample.

Sara Form R Reporting
This feature stores, accesses, and modifies information needed for SARA
Form R/A Reports. It auto generates reports using information
stored in other FacTS features within this Suite. Also, it allows
manual entry or modification of information contained on previously
submitted Form R/A Reports or reports prepared by those facilities not
using FacTS. The FacTS Form R Report feature creates output in a format
compatible with EPA's TRI-ME software.

Sara Tier Reporting
The SARA Tier Reporting generates Tier I and II Reports. It
automatically determines whether SARA Tier Reporting is required based
on inventory levels and MSDS information at either a chemical or
mixture level.

Waste Tracking/Management
Comprehensive cradle-to-grave waste monitoring is available with this
feature, including flagging waste expiration dates on containers. It
can be used in
conjunction with the EHS Management suite to seamlessly follow the
transition between feedstock and waste materials. In addition, it
generates and prints manifests; characterizes the waste based on
analytical samples; tracks off-site transportation, treatment and
disposal locations, and tracks treatment and disposal options. It also
provides the ability to generate the three-part Biennial Waste Report.
