Electronic Submittal of Information (ESI)

On January 1, 2005, the State Water Board adopted regulations that require electronic submittal of information (ESI) for soil, vapor, and groundwater of leaking underground storage tank (LUST) cases and non-UST cleanup sites, including Site Cleanup Program Sites (formerly referred to as Spills-Leaks-Investigations-Cleanups (SLIC) sites), Military Sites (formerly referred to as Department of Defense sites (DOD)), and Land Disposal ( Land Fill) Sites. The regulations adopted on January 1, 2005 also require that written reports must be submitted in PDF format as well as in hard copy format. As of July 1, 2005, the requirement that written reports must continue to be submitted in hard copy format was no longer expressly required by Geotracker and is left to the discretion of the lead cleanup oversight agency.
