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 instructor was very knowledgeable and provided pertinent information above and beyond the questions that were asked.

Excellent job. Made what is very dry material interesting. Thoroughly explained all topics in easy-to-understand terms.
David Hertvik
Vice President
The instructor took a rather drab set of topics and brought them to life with realistic real-life examples.
Tom Berndt
HSE Coordinator
Excellent. I learned more in two days with Lion than at a 5-day program I took with another provider.
Francisco Gallardo
HES Technician
Given the choice, I would do all coursework this way. In-person courses go very fast without the opportunity to pause or repeat anything.

Best course instructor I've ever had. Funny, relatable, engaging; made it interesting and challenged us as the professionals we are.

I really enjoy your workshops. Thank you for such a great program and all the help Lion has provided me over the years!

I can't say enough how pleased I was with this course! Everything finally makes sense.
Kim Graham
Lab Manager
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!
Diana Joyner

These are the best commercial course references I have seen (10+ years). Great job!
