Abstract

The extent and complexity of environmental data management needs have increased significantly over the past several years. As environmental regulations increase, and compliance solutions are evaluated, the need to monitor and document performance becomes increasingly important. Regulatory complexities and volumes of monitoring data mandate the use of detailed procedures to assure compliance with accounting for wastes produced and disposed. A commercially available comprehensive environmental data management system offers a solution, particularly in times when personnel availability for in-house software development is limited. The modular ECOTRACtm (1) (1) ECOTRACtm is a trademark of Solutech Corporation. system enables users to customize a system to their data management needs. Based on dBASE IIItm (2) (2) dBASE IIItm is a trademark of Ashton-Tate. , the system offers the flexibility to meet specific needs without extensive programming or computer knowledge. Standard reports allow consistent and timely reporting to management and regulatory authorities. Case studies demonstrate efficiencies gained through use of commercially available environmental data management software for microcomputers. ECOTRACtm software has proven useful to a variety of industry applications, and has been favorably received by independent technical reviewers.
