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.

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.

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

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

The training was impressive. I am not a fan of online training but this was put together very well. I would recommend Lion to others.

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