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.
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.

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

We have a very busy work schedule and using Lion enables us to take the course at our own time. It makes it easy for me to schedule my employees' training.

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

Much better than my previous class with another company. The Lion instructor made sense, kept me awake and made me laugh!

Course instructor was better prepared and presented better than other trainers. Course manual and references were easier to use as well.

The workshop covered a lot of information without being too overwhelming. Lion is much better, more comprehensive than other training providers.
George Alva
Manufacturing Manager
Lion courses always set the bar for content, reference, and practical application. Membership and access to the experts is an added bonus.

More thorough than a class I attended last year through another company.
