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.
Best instructor ever! I was going to take my DOT training w/a different provider, but based on this presentation, I will also be doing my DOT training w/Lion!
Donna Moot
Hazardous Waste Professional
The instructor kept the class engaged and made learning fun. There was a lot of information to cover but time flew by. I will definitely use Lion in the future!
Chelsea Minguela
Hazmat Shipping Professional
I tried other environmental training providers, but they were all sub-standard compared to Lion. I will not stray from Lion again!
Sara Sills

Excellent class, super instructor, very easy to follow. No rushing through material. Would like to take his class again.
Lawrence Patterson

Much better than my previous class with another company. The Lion instructor made sense, kept me awake and made me laugh!
Marti Severs
Enterprise Safety Manager
I will never go anywhere, but to Lion Technology.
Dawn Swofford
EHS Technician
I attended training from another provider and learned absolutely nothing. Lion is much better. Hands down.
Nicole Eby
Environmental Specialist
Lion does a great job summarizing and communicating complicated EH&S-related regulations.
Michele Irmen
Sr. Environmental Engineer
I was able to present my scenario to the instructor and worked thru the regulations together. In the past, I attended another training firm's classes. Now, I have no intention of leaving Lion!
Diana Joyner
Senior Environmental Engineer
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.
