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

I was recently offered an opportunity to take my training through another company, but I politely declined. I only attend Lion Technology workshops.

I can take what I learned in this workshop and apply it to everyday work and relate it to my activities.

I have attended other training providers, but Lion is best. Lion is king of the hazmat jungle!!!

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.

This is a very informative training compared to others. It covers everything I expect to learn and even a lot of new things.
