About This Course:
Alert: The EPA’s Hazardous Waste Generator Improvement Rule is expected to be finalized this month.
The rule is expected to include over 60 changes to the hazardous waste generator regulations, many of which add responsibilities for generators that will require more compliance, time and effort. Some changes, however, attempted to reduce a generator’s regulatory burden by providing greater flexibility in how facilities and employees manage their hazardous waste.
The final rule will also include revisions that reflect EPA’s response to hundreds of comments that were submitted about the proposed rule, including closure requirements and much more.
Join us when Liane Hetherington-Ward, senior consultant for Schreiber, Yonley & Associates, will discuss the content of the final rule and its practical implications. She will walk you through what will likely be required and how to ensure compliance with the final rule.
