Webpage: http://www.adem.state.al.us/MoreInfo/saraIII.cnt Exit
Special Instructions: Alabama accepts two forms of electronic submittal to meet State requirements, E-Plan and Tier2Submit.

E-Plan

Alabama now accepts submittals via E-Plan at https://ERplan.netExit. There is a fee associated with this service. Submitted information is retained from year to year in one database and changes are easily made by logging in. If you have previously submitted Tier II data by e-mail, your facility information should already be in E-Plan. However, you still must register for an account with E-Plan. Contact: https://erplan.net/eplan/support/contactUs.htmExitwith questions.

Tier2 Submit

Tier2 Submit can be used to submit data electronically with no cost. A new version of Tier2 Submit is available around November of each year. The Tier II File must pass verification and the file exported must be in a .t2s format. Send the exported .t2s file to al312@adem.alabama.gov with the following information in the subject line: the filing year, facility name and facility Master ID Number. If you have questions about your submission contact either email address listed in the contacts above.

*Please note this is new for the 2016 filing year*

Whether you submit via E-Plan or Tier2Submit you will be asked to input a Master ID Number in the State Required Field. If your facility has or ever had a permit issued by ADEM, use eFile on the ADEM’s website to determine your Master ID. ADEM is diligently working to issue a master ID to all facilities who have previously filed their Tier II information. This Master ID Number is location-specific. If you are unsure if you have an existing Master ID Number, please contact Beth Woodfin (beth.woodfin@adem.alabama.gov), 334-260-2700 to verify your Master ID number. This number will remain the same year-to-year.
