Environmental Reporting Software FAQ
Common Environmental and Regulatory Reporting Module question and answers are provided here for transparency and convenience.
Our company already has an inventory system. Can I import the inventory files into the Environmental Reporting Software?
Yes. This can be done by the end user without any custom programming by LOGICAL. hazMIN® only requires a comma delimited text file and a certain order to the information. The documentation incorporated into the environmental reporting software will enable you to import your own inventory, usage, and/or waste information.
See LOGICAL Services for more information
hazMIN® Environmental Reporting appears to be very comprehensive. How do I assure myself that I will properly implement the environmental reporting software for my company?
hazMIN® includes several lines of support options:
- On-line help documentation.
- Unlimited phone support.
- On-site training and implementation design assistance for this module.
LOGICAL will be there to assure that your implementation will succeed.

My only concern is tracking chemicals for SARA Tier II reporting. Do I have to track all receipts and consumption of materials?
No. If you only want hazMIN® Environmental Reporting to track inventories and compute the annual SARA report, periodic on-hand totals will suffice. hazMIN® Environmental Reporting will compute the average and maximum amounts. You will be able to run the SARA report at either the product or component level.
I am responsible for environmental reporting for several facilities. Will one copy of the environmental reporting software compute environmental compliance reports for multiple facilities?
Yes. hazMIN® Environmental Reporting can compute threshold, SARA, emissions, and release reports for multiple facilities within one copy of the software. You will, though, need to license "additional facilities" for hazMIN® Environmental Reporting.
It is very important for my clean air act permit that I mass balance the waste generation so that I do not over report my emissions. Will the environment health and safety software perform a "true" mass balance?
Yes. When tracking the amount of material going to a process, a percentage of that material may not have been actually "consumed" in the process. To compute emissions on this non-consumed material would overstate emissions. Therefore, hazMIN® mass balances the waste generated from an operation against a set of "consumed" material transactions for that operation.
