Exhibit D <br />G10- UPA -82 <br />CERS and previously collected information within the ESS DB. Additionally, the inspector will <br />ensure that the CERS ID (Identified as field 1a in the Unified Program Data Dictionary (FINAL <br />DRAFT) (Ver. 3.10)) and the ESS DB identification are the same. At this time it is unclear <br />which field this will be in CERS, but the ESS DB currently uses a six -digit numeric <br />identification number that could be used, modified, or an additional ESS DB field could be <br />created to use the CERS generated identification number. Businesses may take advantage of <br />basic CERS training that multiple Alameda County CUPAs are planning to implement during <br />the summer of 2011 at multiple sites throughout Alameda County. <br />As new businesses become regulated after the CERS requirement date, CERS data will be <br />used for the creation of the new business record within the ESS DB. The information currently <br />held within the ESS DB is a small fraction of the data collected within CERS, so creation of a <br />matching ESS DB will require less than fifteen minutes per facility including setting up an <br />inspection and billing schedule. New ESS DB record creation will initially be done manually, <br />but as the ESS DB is done in- house, this will be reexamined after electronic data transfer is <br />fully online. <br />2. Needs Assessment <br />The ESS recognizes that converting their business- to -CUPA reporting system from paper <br />hardcopies to electronic will require an assessment of the resources needed to implement the <br />new information gathering system. There are some critical needs that the agencies must <br />address in order to efficiently and effectively convert to and manage electronically reported <br />data through CERS. The needs and the plan to address them are listed below: <br />A. Business managers that do not regularly use a computer or do not have computer access <br />will need assistance from the ESS and State resources to report data electronically. They <br />will be able to take advantage of basic CERS training that is in the early planning stages of <br />multiple Alameda County CUPAs that is tentatively scheduled for various dates throughout <br />this summer. They will also have access to the Cal /EPA training and demonstration <br />Page3of12 <br />
