Today, the Federal Register published the EPA’s latest attempt to redefine solid waste in a way that safeguards public health and the environment while also promoting the recycling of hazardous materials.
Today’s rule proposal was first announced over a week ago when Administrator Jackson signed the proposal just in time to comply with a consent decree between the Sierra Club and the Agency.
The major changes in this proposal, compared to the October 2008 final rule are:
A severe curtailment of the transfer-based exclusion,
An official regulatory definition of “containment,”
Redifining “legitimate” recycling, and
Extending the legitimacy test to all existing solid waste exclusions.
In addition to the proposal, the EPA is also making over a dozen studies, reports, and other supporting material available in the regulations.gov docket for this rule.
The exercises in the DOT hazardous materials management course are especially helpful in evaluating your understanding of course information.

Lion does a great job summarizing and communicating complicated EH&S-related regulations.

I tried other environmental training providers, but they were all sub-standard compared to Lion. I will not stray from Lion again!

I was recently offered an opportunity to take my training through another company, but I politely declined. I only attend Lion Technology workshops.

Very well structured, comprehensive, and comparable to live training seminars I've participated in previously. I will recommend the online course to other colleagues with training requirement needs.

I think LION does an excellent job of any training they do. Materials provided are very useful to my day-to-day work activities.

The instructor kept the class engaged and made learning fun. There was a lot of information to cover but time flew by. I will definitely use Lion in the future!

Lion's course was superior to others I have taken in the past. Very clear in the presentation and the examples helped to explain the content presented.

The instructor was probably the best I ever had! He made the class enjoyable, was humorous at times, and very knowledgeable.
