Review, Verify & Submit
Finalize and submit your Tier II report.
The final sections before your report can be considered submitted and handed off to Encamp for filing are the Review and the Verify & Submit steps.
Review
Step 1: Checking for Errors
The primary purpose of the Review step is to is to verify the absence of errors in the information provided in the previous report sections. Errors typically occur when information required by the jurisdiction has not been included in the report.
The Error Summary provides a comprehensive overview of these errors, categorized by report sections. To view the details of each section's errors, click on Show Details or Hide Details.
Step 2: Addressing Errors
To address any errors from the error summary, you can either:
- Click the Fix Errors button on each section that requires attention, or
- Click each section name that has a red exclamation point in the left navigation bar
Fields that require attention within each section will be clearly marked. Once all errors have been addressed, green check marks should appear next to each section.
(Optional) Notes to Regulators
Facilities may optionally include narrative text for regulators in their report. These notes can provide context for any information not easily captured in the other fields of the report.
For example, a facility may use the "Notes to Regulators" section to explain a significant change in the amount of a particular chemical stored at the facility, or to provide information about upcoming changes to storage practices that might affect future reports. This section can also be used to provide additional detail about safety measures in place at the facility, or to clarify anything that may appear unusual or out of place in the rest of the report.
