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.
I have attended other training providers, but Lion is best. Lion is king of the hazmat jungle!!!

More thorough than a class I attended last year through another company.

Lion courses always set the bar for content, reference, and practical application. Membership and access to the experts is an added bonus.

Much better than my previous class with another company. The Lion instructor made sense, kept me awake and made me laugh!

The instructor had knowledge of regulations and understanding of real-world situations. The presentation style was engaging and fostered a positive atmosphere for information sharing.

The instructor does a great job at presenting material in an approachable way. I have been able to save my company about $30,000 in the last year with what I have learned from Lion!
Curtis Ahonen

I was able to present my scenario to the instructor and worked thru the regulations together. In the past, I attended another training firm's classes. Now, I have no intention of leaving Lion!

I like the consistency of Lion workshops. The materials are well put together and instructors are top notch!

I like Lion's workshops the best because they really dig into the information you need to have when you leave the workshop.
