SDSpro generates the annual SARA Title III (Tier 2) report based on Product (or Chemical) quantities stored at a location. For accurate reporting, the following data is required:
Required Fields
1. Inventory Start Date: The Inventory Start Date field lists the date that the product was first stored at a location. SDSpro automatically enters the current date into this field when a product is first added as Inventory to a location. If a different Inventory Start Date is desired, any SDSpro administrator can edit this field at any time.
2. Number of Containers: The Number of Containers field lists the quantity of containers that are used to store the Product. For example, if a Product is stored at a location in ten 55-gallon drums, the Number of Containers field should contain the number ten.
3. Container Size: The Container Size field lists the size of each container. Using the previous example, the Container Size field should contain the number 55.
4. Container Unit: The Container Unit field lists the units of weight or volume that the inventory quantity is measured in. Using the previous example, the Container Unit field should contain the word gallons.
5. Specific Gravity or Density: The Specific Gravity and Density fields are used by SDSpro to convert inventory quantities from a volume measurement such as gallons to a weight measurement such as pounds. Only one of the two fields needs to be filled in for SDSpro to calculate quantities for the SARA Title III (Tier 2) report. If both fields contain information, SDSpro will use the Specific Gravity field. Information is entered into the Specific Gravity and Density fields on the Inventory Tab under the Product tab within the Product record.
6. Maximum Weight Percent: If a chemical is listed as an Ingredient in a product, SDSpro uses the information in the Maximum
Weight Percent field to calculate the total amount of the chemical in that product. SDSpro does this for every product that
contains the chemical as an Ingredient and then sums the total amount of the chemical in each Product to arrive at a total stored
as Inventory. The Maximum Weight Percent field is located on the Product Data Entry Form, Characteristics sub-tab.
Creating SARA Title III (Tier 2) Report
To begin the report:
Select the Location to run the report from by expanding the plus sign (+) to select a location.
SARA Tier 2 Facility to Report
Information entered in this form appears in the SARA Title III (Tier 2) report and can be saved by clicking SAVE. If contact information has not yet been created for this location, SDSpro will prompt you to create it at this time.
Verify or enter Facility and Owner Information.
Verify or enter Emergency Contact Information.
Check the appropriate check box if a site plan, site coordinate abbreviations or a description of other safeguard measures will be submitted with the SARA Title III (Tier 2) report. SDSpro does not have the capability of creating these attachments but will indicate in the SARA Title III (Tier 2) report whether or not any of these optional attachments are being submitted with the report.
Select the Date Range, Days Onsite, and Reporting Quantities for the report.
The Date Range field determines the period over which quantities will be calculated. This is most often the previous calendar year. Inventory that is present at any time during the date range will be calculated.
The Days on Site field lists the default number of days a Product has been stored at a Location.
If Inventory quantities meet or exceed the amount entered in the Reporting Quantities field, the Product or Chemical will be included in the SARA Title III (Tier 2) report.
Select whether to generate the Chemical Inclusion report and/or include non periodic products.
Selecting the Include Non Periodic check box will add to the SARA Title III (Tier 2) report all those Products that have been selected as non-periodic. A product is selected as non-periodic only if it is not permanently stored at a location. A product is flagged as non-periodic in the Inventory Data Entry form.
Checking the Use Chemical Specific TPQ box tells SDSpro to use a threshold planning quantity specific to a chemical if one has been entered. A TPQ for a chemical is entered in the Chemical Data Entry form.
Selecting the Chemical Inclusion Report check box prints out this additional report. The Chemical Inclusion Report provides a list of every chemical in the SARA Title III (Tier 2) report and shows which products contain each chemical as an Ingredient.
