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 have over 26 years of environmental compliance experience, and it has been some time since I have attended an environmental regulations workshop. I attended this course as preparation for EHS Audits for my six plants, and it was exactly what I was looking for.

Lion's course was superior to others I have taken in the past. Very clear in the presentation and the examples helped to explain the content presented.

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!
