EMIS Task Creation

This is my first post in quite a while.  Since my last post I didn't have much to write about, then I was too busy with projects to write.  I had an unusually slow period & my Regional Director introduced me to the term 'benched' in the consulting world.  It's a word that means you don't have any billable work to do at the time.  This may apply to the T3 division more than the Environmental Consultant (EC) division, since we are always working on a ton of proposals & waiting for the client's to give us the OK.  The EC division seems to have more long-term contracts for recurring work.

The "benched" time was short, thankfully, & I was handed a project for a large aviation manufacturer.  My task was to dig through their Waste Water Discharge Permit, Spill Prevention Control & Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan, & their Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3), & pull tasks out of them for entry into one of our Environmental Management Information Systems (EMIS).  The work consisted of reading through the permits & pulling out specific recurring permit tasks such as monitoring, reporting, inspection & training.  I entered these into a spreadsheet template which will eventually be uploaded into the EMIS of the client's choice.  When I completed a permit I notified a senior consultant that a QA was needed.  Now I need to merge her changes into my master spreadsheet.

That's it for now, I have to get back to the permit/EMIS work.
