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.
This is the best RCRA training I've experienced! I will be visiting Lion training again.
Cynthia L. Logsdon
Principal Environmental Engineer
The training was impressive. I am not a fan of online training but this was put together very well. I would recommend Lion to others.
Donnie James
Quality Manager
Lion is easily and consistently the best option for compliance training. I've learned new information from every instructor I've had.
Rachel Mathis
EHS Specialist
The instructor was energetic and made learning fun compared to dry instructors from other training providers.
Andy D’Amato
International Trade Compliance Manager
Excellent. I learned more in two days with Lion than at a 5-day program I took with another provider.
Francisco Gallardo
HES Technician
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
Senior Environmental Engineer
The course was very well structured and covered the material in a clear, concise manner.
Ian Martinez
Hazmat Shipping Professional
Lion does a great job summarizing and communicating complicated EH&S-related regulations.
Michele Irmen
Sr. Environmental Engineer
Very well structured, comprehensive, and comparable to live training seminars I've participated in previously. I will recommend the online course to other colleagues with training requirement needs.

These are the best classes I attend each year. I always take something away and implement improvements at my sites.
