New RCRA Rules: T-Minus 20 Days

Posted on 5/9/2017 by Roger Marks

For hazardous waste generators, the next 20 days are critically important: On May 30, 2017, EPA’s RCRA “Generator Improvements Rule” takes effect. The new rule makes a number of landmark changes to the RCRA regulations that will have a major impact on the way your facility manages hazardous waste.

If you’re not yet sure how these changes will impact you and your personnel—now is the time to find out. Ready or not, the new rules are coming in 30 days and include big updates like:

A complete re-organization of the RCRA generator standards in 40 CFR Part 262
New requirements for marking and labeling hazardous waste containers and tanks
Expanded reporting and contingency plan requirements
New options to help manage “episodic” events without raising your generator status

Get Up to Date Before the May 30 Deadline!

Lion will present the final Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Webinar before the deadline, LIVE on May 23.

In 90 minutes, we’ll cover the biggest changes to RCRA and what you need to do to stay in compliance.

Much better than my previous class with another company. The Lion instructor made sense, kept me awake and made me laugh!

I tried other environmental training providers, but they were all sub-standard compared to Lion. I will not stray from Lion again!

Excellent course. Very interactive. Explanations are great whether you get the questions wrong or right.

Convenient; I can train when I want, where I want.

The instructor was very patient and engaging - willing to answer and help explain subject matter.

Well designed and thorough program. Excellent summary of requirements with references. Inclusion of regulations in hard copy form, as well as full electronic with state pertinent regulations included is a great bonus!

Oscar Fisher

Given the choice, I would do all coursework this way. In-person courses go very fast without the opportunity to pause or repeat anything.

Ellen Pelton

Chemical Laboratory Manager

We have a very busy work schedule and using Lion enables us to take the course at our own time. It makes it easy for me to schedule my employees' training.

I used the IT support number available and my issue was resolved within a few minutes. I don't see anything that could have made it better.
