Registration

Register an Operation

• a multi-step form has been created to guide external users through the registration process. Only operations that aren't yet fully registered will be listed as options from the operation dropdown. If an operator wants to update information about a registered operation, they must do so via the "Operations" tile in the Administration module
• internal users do not need to "Approve" or "Decline" operation registrations, but they do need to issue BORO IDs and BCGHG IDs to registered operations (that don't already have one) by manually clicking buttons in the operation's registration form. (i.e., these numbers will not be automatically issued upon the external user's completion of the registration form, but will be auto-generated once the internal user reviews the registration form and confirms they want to issue a BORO ID and/or BCGHG ID to the operation)
• an operation only needs to be registered once. If an operation is transferred to another operator, the operation will still be considered "registered" under the new operator

Report an Event

Per GGERR, all operators are expected to report to BCIERS any of the following events within 30 days of their occurrence.

Closures, Temporary Shutdowns, & Restarts

• can apply to either an entire operation or to one or more facilities within an operation. If multiple facilities are selected, they must all be within the same LFO
• in the database, events have separate columns for operation ID and facility IDs. Only one of these fields will ever be populated, indicating whether the event is at the operation-level or the facility-level
• each event type has a separate form and is expected to be filled out by the external user only - no action is required by IRC staff, although they can view the data submitted in these forms from all operators
• in order for a Restart event to be created, there must first be a corresponding Temporary Shutdown or Closure event

Transfers

• can apply to either an entire operation or to one or more facilities within an operation. If multiple facilities are selected, they must all be within the same LFO
• if operation is being transferred, the assigned BORO ID for the operation will also be transferred over to the receiving operator
• guidance that IRC will be circulating to external users is that both operators involved in a transfer are expected to submit a transfer form (i.e., there will be 2 forms submitted for each transfer event)
• operators submit transfer form to request the transfer of an entity. IRC staff review the data submitted in the forms, then fill out an additional form either confirming which facilities/operations are to be transferred, or "completing" (i.e., not transferring) the entities
