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 excellent. They knew all of the material without having to read from a notepad or computer.

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.

I tried other environmental training providers, but they were all sub-standard compared to Lion. I will not stray from Lion again!

I think LION does an excellent job of any training they do. Materials provided are very useful to my day-to-day work activities.

Lion's online training is more comprehensive, has better slides, and is a superior training experience than what I would get from other trainers.
