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

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

As always, Lion never disappoints

Excellent job. Made what is very dry material interesting. Thoroughly explained all topics in easy-to-understand terms.

Lion provided an excellent introduction to environmental regulations, making the transition to a new career as an EHS specialist less daunting of a task. Drinking from a fire hose when the flow of water is lessened, is much more enjoyable!

One of the best trainings I have ever received!

Excellent. I learned more in two days with Lion than at a 5-day program I took with another provider.
