Item 3: Ordinance Adopting Hazardous Substance Tracking Instructions

Home Browse Search

Attachment B. Who Must Report Reports must be filed by businesses that meet all of the following criteria: The facility is within the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) categories of #20-#39 (first two digits of the four-digit SIC category), or is a solid waste incinerator that accepts infectious waste, or is a hazardous waste disposal incinerator. If you need assistance in determining your SIC category, call Toxics Program staff at 541-682-7118. The facility has 10 or more full-time equivalent employees (20,800 hours paid to employees employed locally by the facility in the reporting year). The facility has aggregate inputs of 2,640 pounds of reportable hazardous substances during the reporting year. If the total is less than 2,640 pounds, the facility is not required to report. The facility is stationary within the city limits of Eugene, and is not exempted. Exempted facilities are public educational institutions, state and federal facilities and facilities of their political subdivisions. Deadline for Submitting Reports Reports shall be filed by April 1 of the year following the reporting year (e.g., 2011 reports were due April 1, 2012). It is the policy of the Toxics Board that entities required to report may request an extension of the April 1 reporting deadline by contacting Toxics Program staff at 541-682-7118. What Constitutes a Complete Report Electronic Materials Accounting Data The law requires that materials accounting reports shall be filed electronically. Reporting instructions will be sent to businesses around the end of the reporting year. The reporting program contains electronic forms such as those shown on pages in Appendix B. The forms provide for the name and CAS or other identifying number of each hazardous chemical used by the facility during the reporting year, and for reportingamounts of inputs and outputs of each type specified in the Right-to-Know Charter Amendment. Detailed instructions for calculating these amounts are given starting on page 15 of this handbook, and instructions for entering the data will be sent to reporting businesses each year. The reporting program downloads data from the previous reporting year, and then automatically enters January 1 inventories of reportable substances and waste based on the quantities reported for December 31 of the previous reporting year. (The assumption here is that whatever was at the facility on December 31 of the previous reporting year was still there the next day.) - 9-
