June/July 2016

The Dog Days of summer are here, my kids are already thinking of school starting up in a few weeks, and I - after a slow period in July - am back to my usual busy schedule.
What I have found is that many people rush to get their required HazMat or RCRA training done by the end of the year; resulting in a crush during the late fall and holidays.  Don't get left behind!  Contact me now to schedule the training you are required to provide by both Federal and State regulations.
What's Wrong With This Picture? Hazardous Waste Label Marking on a Hazardous Waste Container

EPA regulations require specific markings on a hazardous waste container when it is managed on-site and when it is offered for off-site transportation.  Should be simple, right?  In this short article I explain how someone got it wrong.  More...

Are State-Certified Labs Required for the Hazardous Waste Determination? - Recently Updated!

Let's all pitch in to build a nationwide list of the state environmental agencies and their requirement - or lack of a requirement - to use a state certified lab for the hazardous waste determination.  Contact me to add your state to the database:   State-certified labs for the hazardous waste determination.

YouTube is something I am looking to use more.  Especially since I got a Galaxy Samsung 5.  Wow!  It's so easy to shoot videos and even do a little editing.  Now I have no excuse for not posting more videos of HazMat and Hazardous Waste issues.

 

 Conditional Exclusion at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(20) for Zinc-Bearing Hazardous Secondary Materials Used to Make Zinc Fertilizer

Before you can determine any of that you must first classify the lithium battery.  That is the purpose of this article.  More...

Do you have a question?

Hazardous Waste Regulations in California State Specific Regulations
This Month:  California

I keep coming back to California!  Literally, to perform Onsite Training, but also in articles like these.  I don't think I'll ever run out of topics for articles about the environmental regulations in this vast and complex state.
This article explains two exemptions from regulation that are available to universal waste handlers in California.  More...
