EXHIBIT D G10-UPA-89 oTechnique A: Part-time new hires for manual entry by PA - Under this option, the PA utilizes internal staff to enter chemical data into the Regional Portal. Owner, Facility, Program data will be transferred from the OC CUPA's EnvisionConnect database into the Portal. oTechnique B: Vendor contracted to transfer electronic data in EnvisionConnect or other databases into the EnvisionConnect Portal. This Technique applies to both the OC CUPA and the PAs that have chemical inventories and other program information in existing databases. • OC CUPA and PA staff need to assess existing data and new data submitted through the Portal for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with Title 27 Data Dictionary. This will be an ongoing process as new PAs and OC CUPA programs are added to the Portal. A test server is in place to assist with this verification. • OC CUPA with Decade Software will need to implement the EnvisionConnect upload/download feature to CERS for UPCF information and inspection and enforcement data. • OC CUPA and PAs review and consider fee adjustments to cover long-term operational costs. With the Portal PA billing module enhancement, PA staff resources required to maintain two separate billing databases will be eliminated. In addition, the OC CUPA staff resources to consolidate 11 billing databases will be reduced. Finally, electronic submittal of forms will reduce data entry staff resources. Therefore, the review and consideration of program fee adjustments to cover annual database maintenance costs will need to include the reduction and/or elimination of current manual database maintenance resources. • Review and update procedures for managing OC CUPA and PA's data in a Regional Portal. • OC CUPA and PA staff conduct EnvisionConnect Portal training for OC CUPA and PA staff. • OC CUPA and PA staff conduct EnvisionConnect Portal training for businesses (workshops, online, in the field). • OC CUPA needs to accommodate both CUPA and PA businesses that do not regularly use a computer and has plans to provide a computer station in the OC CUPA lobby. • OC CUPA needs to obtain EnvisionConnect and EnvisionConnect Portal technical support from Decade Software. OC CUPA will need to maintain annual contracts with Decade for Envision- Connect and its Portal. • OC CUPA staff will need to understand how CERS operates in order to assist those businesses that choose to use CERS for their electronic form submissions. • OC CUPA staff currently inspect using EnvisionConnect with field computers that either upload the inspection and violation data through a wireless connection or hardwired connection when they return to the office. The 10 PAs will manually enter their inspection and violation data into the Portal after an inspection and violation tracking module is developed. In the future, OC CUPA will encourage the PAs to transition to field computers that can then export/upload the information into the Portal. Funding for this automation will need to come from fees and/or enforcement case settlements. Collecting, Submitting, and Storing Unified Program Related Information OC CUPA and PA data will be exchanged with CERS through EnvisionConnect's upload/download feature. The OC CUPA will be responsible for the exchange of both CUPA and PA data. The automated exchange of data between CERS and EnvisionConnect will include documents regulated facilities are required to report/submit through the Portal. Regulated businesses will submit their information electronically into the EnvisionConnect Portal. By exception, the CUPA and its PAs may collect paper / hardcopy data from the regulated businesses.
