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

Well designed and thorough program. Excellent summary of requirements with references. Inclusion of regulations in hard copy form, as well as full electronic with state pertinent regulations included is a great bonus!

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

The workshop covered a lot of information without being too overwhelming. Lion is much better, more comprehensive than other training providers.

The exercises in the DOT hazardous materials management course are especially helpful in evaluating your understanding of course information.

If I need thorough training or updating, I always use Lion. Lion is always the best in both instruction and materials.

Lion's training was by far the best online RCRA training I've ever taken. It was challenging and the layout was great!
