What is CLR?• Web-based eBusiness Center application for the

solid & infectious waste program.• “C” = Compliance (inspection and violation

tracking by DMWM and HD).• “L” = License application entry and processing.• “R” = Registration application entry and

processing.

Why CLR?• It’s 2013• Better Control of Process– No “lost” applications

How is access granted? • Ohio EPA/PRMU staff have Administration rights

assigned and can control who has access• Licensed facilities and Registrants: The signatory

person requests to use the eBiz licensing and/or registration services

• HD: Person(s) who are to have Admin rights must request it from PRMU. The HD Admin can assign review steps to their staff or to DMWM
