Hello fellow environmental professionals!
May is shaping up to be a good month unless you invested in offshore oil exploration. Yeeks! Being a silver lining person myself, I have to point out that this is turning out to be a great distraction. I've heard nothing in a while on cap-and-trade!
In other news, the EPA turns 40 this year and opened public access to the Health and Environmental Research Online (HERO) database. HERO contains the scientific studies and other references used by EPA to develop environmental risk assessments for the public. Check it out at: http://www.epa.gov/hero/
Finally, the EPA is proposing to revoke the January 2009 changes to the New Source Review (NSR) "aggregation policy". For more information, go to: http://www.epa.gov/nsr/actions.html
On the safety front, beware that in March, OSHA declared its intention to greatly increase inspections and enforcements as well as penalties.
For those of you working in the northwest district of Ohio, Don Waltermeyer is retiring this summer. He has been a well-respected and under-appreciated voice of reason and wellspring of knowledge for a long time and will be missed. But don't worry, I suspect we'll see him riding this side of the fence at some point, perhaps in the form of his own company but not until he's gotten a few thousand rounds of golf in!

Environmental Compliance Assessment (ECA)
The purpose of the ECA is to ascertain the Air, Water, Hazardous Waste, and Solid Waste permitting and operating requirements for the client, to evaluate the client's current compliance status, and to provide (and help implement) recommendations to achieve and maximize compliance. The annual follow-up ECA provides an opportunity to assess the environmental compliance program and to update the primary ECA report, as needed.

Safety Audit
OSHA or MSHA
Some companies have expressed interest in having a third party conduct a periodic evaluation of the facility for the basic OSHA and MSHA hit list. Those who work there every day sometimes cannot see the trees for the forest (sorry, I had to) but sometimes a fresh set of eyes can spot problems potentially saving your company from some fines. Because of the diversity of facilities and the fact that I would have no control over actually resolving the problems identified, this cannot be a "guaranteed no fines" service but is rather intended to provide another level of review.
