Things you need to know before importing data from your system.
Before you can import data from your own computer system it will need to be in a format that TurboWaste.Net can understand. Review the import file specifications and verify that your data meets the specifications before you continue.
Site ID Form data can't be imported. It is filled in automatically when you open the form in the TurboWaste.Net application.
If you have questions, please call Ecology staff at 1-800-874-2022 (from within the state) or (360) 407-6170. You can also E-mail Ecology at TurboWaste@ecy.wa.gov.
Before importing you must create a reporting year
Before you can import data you must create a reporting year for the data on the "Site Profile" web page. For example, to import data for 2005, first click on the Create New Annual Report link.


Enter the Reporting Year and click the button for Waste Data -Import.
Click on the Submit button at the bottom of the screen.
The Checklist for the new Annual Report will be displayed.
Look for the Import/Export data box on the bottom right side of the Checklist web page.
Click on Import Data .

Select your files to be imported
You will see a blank Import Form for the reporting year. Use the Browse button to find the files on your computer. Special Note: The importing process is a "complete file replacement" and not record append.
If you want to import GM files you must import all three GM files. Similarly, if you are importing WR data you must import both WR files.

If your import is successful, you will get a message giving you details on the data.

Be sure and "Save Imported Records".

A pop-up message will give you get one last opportunity to confirm the save process. As the message states, you will be "overwriting" any previously stored data in your OI, GM, or WR files for the reporting year. Data from other reporting years will not be affected. Click on OK to save the imported files into TurboWaste.Net.
Once your data has been successfully imported, click on Step 2, the Validate Your Annual Report Data link to identify any incorrect records that must be fixed before your data is submitted to Ecology.
Correct any errors and re-validate you data until the errors are fixed.
When the errors are fixed, you will be able to click on the last two Steps on the Annual Report Checklist - to review and then submit your report.
