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 price was reasonable, the time to complete the course was manageable, and the flexibility the online training allowed made it easy to complete.
