The Controlled Waste Tracking System (Tracking System) has been implemented in order to streamline the process in which information is collected about the transportation of certain controlled wastes. This information, once stored electronically in a computer database, can be updated, sorted and queried very efficiently and quickly. This will enable statistical reports to be produced that can be used to determine such things as future treatment facility requirements.
