Question 1) I suggest you…

Question 1) I suggest you add a password linking the service provider and the Generator to the registration site which can be managed by the Generator. All activity on site triggers an email to the Administrator or delegate so they can monitor. If needed a dialog box is part of the email and this can also be used to provide information on Short Term Storage & Waste Handled on site. Acknowledgement of dialogue box and a question or two provides confirmation back to the regulator of receipt, training.
When a pick up is completed, an email is sent to Generator, Carrier, MOECP & Intended Receiver using a unique identifier. When waste is received & Accepted another email is sent to the same parties (Or Actual Receiver if different from Intended Receiver) closing the transaction.The document (Manifest) closure triggers an invoice to the Generator's HWIN account using the same unique identifier as above. Service Providers, through their access to the Generators, have access to pay the fees on the Generator's behalf.
2) All records to be kept electronically on Regulator's Database for access as required for tracking, planning, auditing etc. there is no need for paper. These records should be available for the entirety of the Regulator's record keeping timeline for compliance then put into the public archives.
3) Spills
There should be a live reporting capability for any emergencies that meet Regulator's determined criteria, Immediate threat to environment, human life or other. There should also be a self reporting feature for less urgent spills for compliance and tracking. This report should automatically trigger T.C. & E.C. as necessary.
I believe that the business number should be used on all registrations, to link to CRA etc.
All Electronic Docs should comply/be integrated with E.C. & T.C. which allows for ease of inter-provincial and inter-country movement.

To provide for difference in measurement, weights etc.Receiver should have the ability to confirm actual quantity on manifest prior to closing. X%? difference is allowable without triggering any other notification. Larger differences triggers Generator Acknowledgement prior to acceptance.
Tracking & Reporting

1)5-10 days should be sufficient to allow all information to be downloaded and permit multiple carriers input etc.
2) this should be determined by regulator.
2a) Current is 2 years which is sufficient for us.
2b)Keep all docs in one central repository with secure access for all relevant parties , Generator, Carrier, Receive r& regulators.
2c) Same as "A"
3a) 2 years - Same timeline as above should allow us to access the data without having to re-enter everything.
3b) Flat file will allow it to be integrated with our business systems streamlining our service documents on a daily basis. -again 2 years should be good as the majority of Generators produce waste at least annually.
4a)Yes
4b) Always as an option- Limit the number of manifests per Carrier and track usage. Additional user fee for processing paper documents?
5) As part of the registration process, a POP up window (Training Video- Confirmation Questions) for Short term Storage and on site Mgmt. If using a Service Provider, an email could be triggered to Administrator for Acceptance.
6) A unique and tracked, time sensitive email to all relevant parties outlining Non-Compliance with follow up requirements, which contains a tracked password allowing the manifest to be re-opened for corrections. Once completed, all parties get notification email.
IF system only allows input of registered sites and waste classes, there should be minimal requirement for corrections. Waste classes should be able to be added at time of pick up with third party rights for ease of shipment.
to simplify registration, only those wastes destined for landfill should be subject to LDR questions. It would streamline the process.
