If Your Facility is not an LQG, SQG, OR TSD
- If your facility was not an LQG, SQG, or TSD facility in any month of the year no report is required.
- However, if you received a reporting reminder in the mail in December you MUST complete and return the Handler ID form to the Office of Land Quality.
- This is necessary so that we can document that you were not an LQG or SQG during the report year and do not owe a report.
- Even if the business is no longer active the entire report is still required if the facility acted as an SQG or LQG in any one month during the report year.
Handler Identification Form
The Handler ID Form is required to be submitted by every LQG, SQG, TSD, and any other facility that received a reminder notice in December.
- The ID form should be evaluated for accuracy, corrections made if needed, signed and submitted with the rest of the report.
- If filing electronically the ID form should be sent after the electronic report is submitted.
- The ID form is NOT the entire report.
- If you did not receive an Indiana Hazardous Handler Identification Form you may request one from IDEM.
Electronic Reporting
This is the preferred method of reporting.
- The ARM Easitrak software may be used to file electronic reports.
- If you submit electronically, the Handler ID form must still be sent in hard copy.
- The Declaration of Electronic Reporting must also be submitted. This if found in the ‘reports’ tab of Easitrak.
- The Handler ID form and the Declaration form should be sent at the same time and after you submit the report electronically.
- The Easitrak Site Identification form (SI) must be completed on-line but should NOT be sent in place of the Indiana Handler ID form.
- Read the instructions for Easitrak and for the Annual or Biennial report before using the software.
- Submitters with their own data systems and can create flat files may submit files in the specified format. Contact IDEM at (317) 233/0066, or via email at "info at idem.in.gov" for a copy of the flat file specifications.
