Albertsons | Encamp
Almost 600 California Locations. One HMBP Season. Zero Room for a Missed Deadline.
Albertsons manages hazardous materials business plan reporting for nearly 600 California locations, on top of Tier II and hazardous waste obligations everywhere else. Your data currently lives in SERS, in Risk Connect, and in spreadsheets built just in case. SERS Next Gen is coming, and no one is quite sure what carries over.
Encamp gives your team one system that pulls from every source, catches errors before they reach a regulator, and files the reports for you, so you can stop managing tools and start managing outcomes.
Encamp Scout — AI built for environmental compliance.
Scout is not a general chatbot pulling from random corners of the internet. It only draws from the sources that matter: the Code of Federal Regulations, published CUPA rules down to the county level, and your own facility data inside Encamp. Ask Scout what is coming due across your California locations, which sites are outside their registered generator status, or what changed in a county rule this quarter, and get a straight answer pulled from your real data, not a guess. As your team grows more comfortable with Scout, it can also start taking action on your behalf, from logging renewal dates to flagging upcoming deadlines before anyone has to go looking for them.
How Encamp Helps
Built for California nuance
CUPAs each set their own rules, right down to the county level, and those rules change more often than most teams have time to track by hand. Fire department contacts get updated, site plan requirements shift, and local filing rules evolve almost every year. Encamp keeps up with all of it automatically, so your HMBPs stay accurate without someone on your team combing through county websites every filing season.
Catch errors before they become fines
Encamp reviews every manifest against your facility and vendor data, and flags issues like invalid transporter IDs, missing EPA IDs, or a chemical quantity that jumped without explanation. Across the accounts we support, roughly 7 out of 10 manifests reviewed each year need some kind of correction. Encamp catches those errors before they ever reach a regulator, not after a fine has already landed.
One login, not a dozen
Update your data once in Encamp, and we handle the filing across SERS, RCRA info, and every state and county portal that applies to your locations. Your team is no longer logging into a different system for every report, cross-checking numbers between platforms, or wondering which version of the data is actually current. Everything lives in one place, and it stays current on its own.
Why does it matter?
Environmental compliance often gets treated as a cost center, and the pressure to trim budgets is real, especially for a lean team managing hundreds of locations. But a hazardous waste finding does not stay small. It can trigger fines, escalating regulatory scrutiny, and years of follow-up review, and the generator is always the one on the hook, even when a vendor or a transporter made the original mistake.
Digital audits are also catching more than they used to. Regulators are reviewing manifests more closely and more frequently, and errors that once took years to surface, or required an on-site inspection to catch, are now showing up in the data almost immediately. The risk of doing nothing is only growing.
Encamp is not another system to add to your workload. It is a partner that protects what your team has already built, absorbs the manual work of chasing data across vendors and portals, and gives your team back the time to focus on the work that actually reduces risk.

The RCRA Guide
California’s Hazardous Materials Business Plan requirements are some of the most detailed in the country. Between CERS submissions, CUPA oversight that shifts by county, and annual certification deadlines, even experienced teams face exposure. This guide walks through what large, multi-location businesses need to know, and where the risk tends to hide.
The RCRA Checklist
A practical checklist EHS teams can run against every facility to confirm generator status is current, manifests are reconciled, and no site is quietly approaching a threshold it hasn’t planned for.
Unlocking California waste reporting: IDs, fees, and reduction
California asks for more than the federal government does when it comes to waste reporting. This session breaks down the difference between your EPA ID and your California State ID, and what each one means for your generator status. We also cover the Electronic Verification Questionnaire, the Generator Handling Fee from the Department of Tax and Fee Administration, and how Senate Bill 14 reduction plans work. You’ll see how your compliance data can do more than check a box. It can also reveal trends and support real waste reduction.
