The attached document contains ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s comments regarding the Discussion Paper on modernizing hazardous waste reporting in Ontario.

ArcelorMittal Dofasco (AMD) is an integrated steel mill in Hamilton, Ontario where coal, iron ore, steel scrap and fluxes are processed to manufacture flat rolled and tubular steel products. The facility is 739 acres and has approximately 5,300 employees.

In general, a new digital hazardous waste reporting service will be a positive change. However, it must be simple to use like the current HWIN system but with more capability to search and use the data.

The change to electronic manifesting will have a significant impact. AMD has several hundred employees who currently use waste manifests and AMD generates approximately 2,000 waste manifests per year. The transition time will have to be sufficient to allow employees to be trained and become accustomed to the new system.

Attached are the discussion questions with AMD’s responses.
