ID | ELEMENT | CODES/CRITERIA | LENGTH | TYPE | INFORMATION DESCRIPTION | CERS MINIMALLY REQUIRED FIELDS |
1 | Facility ID Number | 13 | AN | A facility identifier assigned by the local regulator supporting cross-linking of CERS and local data system records. Because CUPAs do not consistently apply the original regulatory definition of this field (2 AN county 3 AN jurisdiction 6 AN facility number), CERS accepts any alphanumeric string up to 13 characters. The original regulator goals of this field are fulfilled through the CERS ID and CERS System Field "FacilityRegulatorKey" (20.0084). | False | |
1a | CERS ID | Cal/EPA assigned, 8- or 9- digit ID assigned to a specific facility that never has leading zeroes (begins at 10000001). Cal/EPA does not anticipate using 9- digit CERS IDs until the year 2020 or beyond. | 9 | N | A CERS ID is a Cal/EPA-assigned, 8- or 9- digit ID to uniquely identify a facility in CERS. The CERS ID should remain unchanged across different owners/operators of a facility. | False |
