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.
I have over 26 years of environmental compliance experience, and it has been some time since I have attended an environmental regulations workshop. I attended this course as preparation for EHS Audits for my six plants, and it was exactly what I was looking for.
Frank Sizemore
Director of Regulatory Affairs
The instructor was great, explaining complex topics in terms that were easily understandable and answering questions clearly and thoroughly.
Brittany Holm
Lab Supervisor
Our instructor was very dynamic and kept everyone's interest. Hazmat shipping can be a dry, complicated topic but I was engaged the entire time.
Kimberly Arnao
Senior Director of EH&S
I have been to other training companies, but Lion’s material is much better and easier to understand.
Mark Abell
Regional Manager
The instructor took a rather drab set of topics and brought them to life with realistic real-life examples.
Tom Berndt
HSE Coordinator
The instructor kept the class engaged and made learning fun. There was a lot of information to cover but time flew by. I will definitely use Lion in the future!

Attending Lion Technology classes should be mandatory for every facility that ships or stores hazmat.

Convenient; I can train when I want, where I want.
Barry Cook
Hazmat Shipping Professional
I used the IT support number available and my issue was resolved within a few minutes. I don't see anything that could have made it better.
Danny Province
EHS Professional
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.
