Define Application Parameters for Waste Reports

Hazardous Storage Days Limit for Large Quantity Generator:

For large-quantity waste generators, indicates the maximum number of days of storage permitted after which an alert is shown. The number of days of storage is calculated based on the Date Start entered for the waste.

Hazardous Storage Days Limit for Small Quantity Generator

For small-quantity waste generators, indicates the maximum number of days of storage permitted after which an alert is shown. The number of days of storage is calculated based on the Date Start entered for the waste.

Hazardous Storage Days Limit when there’s no generator, or it doesn’t have a type

For situations when the waste generator is not indicated or if its type is N/A (instead of large or small quantity generator), this parameter indicates the maximum number of days of storage permitted after which an alert is shown. The number of days of storage is calculated based on the Date Start entered for the waste.

Note: The initial default value will be 0 days, so until this value is modified, the report always shows these records in red. If you want to avoid the red color for these records, set this value with a very high value.

Hazardous Storage Days Deadline

Indicates the number of days before the maximum number of days permitted to store a hazardous waste to show an alert. The storage deadline uses the Date Start for the earliest quantity of waste added to the container/tank/location. The number of days from the Date Start used to determine the deadline depends on whether the waste generator is a Small Quantity, Large Quantity, or N/A generator type. These number of days are the values entered in the haz_days_large_gen, haz_days_small_gen, or haz_days_na_gen parameters.

Recently Shipped/Discharged Number of Days

Defines the number of days ago that waste was shipped or discharged that is used to determine if the waste is included in the Recently Shipped/Discharged report.

Manifest Number of Days before Calling a Large Generator

Indicates the number of days after the hazardous waste shipment date by which the waste recipient should have returned a signed manifest to a large waste generator. If the manifest is not returned by this date, then the generator must call the waste recipient and request the manifest that is due.

Manifest Number of Days before Calling a Small Generator

Indicates the number of days after the hazardous waste shipment date by which the waste recipient should have returned a signed manifest to a small generator. If the manifest is not returned by this date, then the generator must call the waste recipient and request the manifest that is due.

Manifest Number of Days before Calling a Generator which doesn’t have a type

Indicates the number of days after the hazardous waste shipment date by which the waste recipient should have returned a signed manifest to a generator having the type N/A (instead of large or small quantity waste generator). If the manifest is not returned by this date, then the generator must call the waste recipient and request the manifest that is due.

Manifest Number of Days before Generating an Exception Report for a Large Generator

Indicates the number of days after a hazardous waste shipment date by which a large generator must file an exception report if a signed manifest was not returned by a transfer, storage, or disposal facility.

Manifest Number of Days before Generating an Exception Report for a Small Generator

Indicates the number of days after a hazardous waste shipment date by which a small generator must file an exception report if a signed manifest was not returned by a transfer, storage, or disposal facility.

Manifest Number of Days before Generating an Exception Report for a Generator which doesn’t have a type

Indicates the number of days after a hazardous waste shipment date by which a generator whose type is N/A (instead of large or small quantity waste generator) must file an exception report if a signed manifest was not returned by a transfer, storage, or disposal facility.

Manifest Deadline Warning Percentage

Indicates a percentage for the number of days after the hazardous waste shipment date by which the waste recipient should have returned a signed manifest. This parameter is used to warn users that a deadline is approaching soon. A yellow alert also indicates that the contact with the waste processing facility has not yet been made.
For example, if the manifest should have been returned 60 days after the shipment date, and this parameter is set to 75%, then this warning is shown 45 days after the shipment date.

The manifest_days_call_large_gen, manifest_days_call_large_small, and manifest_days_call_na_gen parameters are used to determine the deadline.

Satellite Accumulation Days Limit

Indicates the number of days from the time waste first enters the container (based on the waste's Date Start) before which a satellite accumulation container must be emptied or moved to a waste storage location.

Satellite Accumulation Volume Limit

Indicates the maximum number of gallons that a satellite accumulation container can store before it must be emptied or moved to a waste storage location.

Note: This parameter sets satellite accumulation quantity restrictions in units of gallons. If you record your accumulation in units of mass or volume different than gallons, the Hazardous Waste Accumulation Report will not display warnings based on the mass quantity limit. However, because the application does allow edits to the Accumulated records, once an accumulation container becomes full, you can edit the record and change the unit type, units, and quantity to the full-volume amount for the container. This will result in the accumulation being shown with the appropriate warning.

Satellite Accumulation Full Days Limit

Indicates the maximum number of days accumulated waste may legally remain at a satellite accumulation location once the volume of waste there reaches the limit set in the satellite_volume_limit application parameter.
