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.
My experience with Lion training, both online and in the classroom, is that they are far better organized and provide a better sequential explanation of the material.

I really enjoyed this training. Even after years on both sides of the comprehension coin, I find myself still learning! The quality of the delivery exceeded much of the training I have received in the past.

This was the 1st instructor that has made the topic actually enjoyable and easy to follow and understand. Far better than the "other" training providers our company has attended!

Lion was very responsive to my initial questions and the website was user friendly.
Michael Britt

Given the choice, I would do all coursework this way. In-person courses go very fast without the opportunity to pause or repeat anything.

The instructor took a rather drab set of topics and brought them to life with realistic real-life examples.
