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.
Lion provided an excellent introduction to environmental regulations, making the transition to a new career as an EHS specialist less daunting of a task. Drinking from a fire hose when the flow of water is lessened, is much more enjoyable!

The course was very informative and presented in a way that was easily understood and remembered. I would recommend this course.

Lion is at the top of the industry in compliance training. Course content and structure are updated frequently to make annual re-training enjoyable. I like that Lion has experts that I can contact for 1 year after the training.

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

Very witty instructor, made the long times sitting bearable. One of the few training courses I can say I actually enjoyed.

The instructor clearly enjoys his job and transmits that enthusiasm. He made a dry subject very interesting and fun.

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.
