FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—January 15, 2010—Ypsilanti, MI—Quantum Compliance Systems, Inc. (Quantum) announces an update to FacTS™ Waste Management/Tracking feature to support changes in the Biennial Report.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s 2009 Hazardous Waste Report Instructions document a new field called the Waste Minimization Code for the Waste Generation and Management (GM) form. This code will be used to categorize the waste minimization, recycling, or pollution prevention efforts a company implements for each waste stream to reduce the volume and toxicity of the hazardous waste. The FacTS update adds the field to the waste stream data entry screen, and pulls it for the Biennial GM form. The EPA has also added a new Source Code, which is included in the update.
This update expands FacTS’ Environmental Reporting Suite’ Waste Management/Tracking capabilities for comprehensive cradle-to-grave waste monitoring capabilities. It tracks all types of waste such as hazardous, universal, PCB, and asbestos to paper, trash, and cafeteria waste. It generates the Federal Uniform Manifest and Continuation Sheets for hazardous waste, and Bills of Lading for non-hazardous waste. Additional shipping documents can be customized to meet each customer’s specific shipping requirements.
