Hazardous Waste Summary Report (Tanner Report): Downloadable Files

The HW Summary Report is available in a compressed (zipped) text format for downloading. To keep the file sizes as small as possible for downloading, each calendar year is a separate download. For those who wish the entire data summary, it is available on CD for $25 by e-mailing your request to HWTSadmn@dtsc.ca.gov and using "HW Summary" in the subject line. Each downloadable file typically contains over 65,000 records and because of this, is not readable by many software programs. Users will typically want to use a data management application, such as FoxPro, Microsoft Access, dBase, or Paradox, to mention just a few.
