To help EHS professionals keep up with major changes to the US EPA’s hazardous waste regulations, Lion Technology this week launched the live, interactive Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Rule Webinar.
On October 28, US EPA finalized a long-awaited rulemaking, called the Generator Improvements Rule, which will have significant and lasting impacts for businesses that generate, manage, or store hazardous waste. EPA estimates that the rule changes could affect nearly 700,000 US facilities.
Among the biggest changes in the 350-page rulemaking are:
- A complete reorganization of the hazardous waste generator rules in 40 CFR 262.
- Expanded marking and labeling requirements for hazardous waste storage.
- New reliefs for small generators.
- Bolstered reporting, recordkeeping, and contingency plan requirements.
- Much, much more.
These hazardous waste management updates will take effect six months after the Final Rule appears in the Federal Register. Publication is expected before the end of the year.
