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

The instructor was great, explaining complex topics in terms that were easily understandable and answering questions clearly and thoroughly.
Brittany Holm
Lab Supervisor
I tried other environmental training providers, but they were all sub-standard compared to Lion. I will not stray from Lion again!
Sara Sills
Environmental Specialist
Amazing instructor; real-life examples. Lion training gets better every year!
Frank Papandrea
Environmental Manager
The course was very informative and presented in a way that was easily understood and remembered. I would recommend this course.

If I need thorough training or updating, I always use Lion. Lion is always the best in both instruction and materials.
Bryce Parker
EHS Manager
The instructor took a rather drab set of topics and brought them to life with realistic real-life examples.
Tom Berndt
HSE Coordinator
Lion's training was by far the best online RCRA training I've ever taken. It was challenging and the layout was great!
Paul Harbison
Hazardous Waste Professional
I really enjoyed this training. Even after years on both sides of the comprehension coin, I find myself still learning! The quality of the delivery exceeded much of the training I have received in the past.
