October 2015

October seemed to go by in a flash and before you know it we are here in November with many calendar days - but few business days - left until the end of the year. Factor in vacations and illness and their might not be time to get your training done in 2015. What to do? Contact me to schedule Onsite Training while there's still time. Or, a Webinar is quicker, less expensive, and easier to schedule.

If training isn't possible for you in 2015, then contact me to schedule your training for as early as possible in 2016!

State Specific Regulations

This Month: Indiana! (again)

The 2015 Definition of Solid Waste Rule

NEW FOR OCTOBER: 40 CFR 261.4(a)(27) The Spent Solvent Remanufacturing Exclusion. This exclusion is limited to specific sources of spent solvents within certain identified industries. But if you are able to comply with the conditions of this new exclusion, then your spent solvents are not a solid waste and therefore can't be a hazardous waste.

I don't just write articles!

Sometimes a Power Point presentation is better than an article for summarizing complex regulations. Take a look at mine on SlideShare.

YouTube allows me to provide audio and live animation to my presentations. I hope to use it more.

What's Coming Down the Pipeline for October?

The Regulatory Pipeline

The Federal agencies were busy in October, publishing notices, proposed rules, and final rules regarding the transportation of hazardous materials and the management of hazardous waste. Be sure to check out my summary of the publications for October and see if any of them may impact your operations. Federal Register Publications for October 2015.

USEPA Proposed Rule: Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Rule

Held over from last month's newsletter. Why? Because if this Proposed Rule becomes a Final Rule as written it will have a significant impact - mostly positive - on the community of hazardous waste generators. There's a lot in this Proposed Rule, so I've created this short summary for you.
