Details
On November 28, 2016, EPA published the updated Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Rule which will affect how hazardous waste generators track and manage hazardous waste and is aimed at improving the entire hazardous waste generator program.
This finalizes a much-needed update to the hazardous waste generator regulations to make the rules easier to understand, facilitate better compliance, provide greater flexibility in how hazardous waste is managed and close important gaps.
Objectives of the Presentation
Objectives of the Presentation
- Insight and perspective on why the regulations were updated
- Overview of current Federal regulation, including more stringent provisions, and other changes and clarifications
- Your plant's hazardous waste status (RCRA, non-RCRA, non-hazardous) and its generator status (LQG, SQG, CESQG)?
- How to implement the changes
- Whether hazardous wastes are being treated, and if this treatment requires a permit or other regulatory obligations?
- Whether employees are being properly trained to handle hazardous wastes, sign manifests, etc?
Outline
Why Should you Attend
The U.S. EPA recently (effective May 30, 2017) finalized the Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Rule to revise the hazardous waste generator regulations in 40 CFR. The majority of the changes were to 40 CFR 262, which underwent a reorganization to make the regulations easier to follow and understand, make some technical corrections, provide flexibility for generators, and improve environmental protection and generator compliance.
Build confidence working with the complex RCRA hazardous waste rules to keep employees safe, prevent releases, and avoid costly EPA civil penalties and liability. EPA requires annual RCRA training for all hazardous waste facility personnel. In July 2016, US EPA raised the fines for RCRA hazardous waste violations. Fines are now as high as $71,264 per day, per violation. Join us to discover what's new, and what these changes mean in terms of managing your generator status.

Speaker/s
Dr. Carole LeBlanc is the former Director of Engineering and Research for the Department of Transportation (DOT) Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). PHMSA’s mission is to protect people and the environment from the risk
inherent in the transportation of hazardous materials – by pipeline and other modes of transportation. In this role, she directed the hazardous materials technology programs in support of the overall goals and objectives of PHMSA's strategic plan. Before coming
to DOT in 2012, Dr. LeBlanc was the Special Expert on Emerging Contaminants for the Department of Defense (DoD). Her job was to provide technical support for material management policies developed by DoD, drawing upon her chemical expertise and her experience
in toxics use reduction, a source-based form of pollution prevention, to facilitate the Military Departments’ efforts in mission sustainment. In 2007, she was awarded a Defense Special Act Award for her part in the formation of DoD’s toxic and hazardous chemicals
reduction plan, mandated by Presidential Executive Order 13423.
Prior to her 5-year appointment at the Pentagon, she was the Director of the Surface Solutions Laboratory, the research facility of the Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI) at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. There, she administered the state’s testing program for promoting safer alternatives to hazardous solvents, based on Massachusetts’ Toxics Use Reduction Act (TURA) of 1989. She was part of the TURA team that by 1998 had helped to reduce the amount of toxic waste generated in the state by 50%. In 1999, the TURA program would receive the prestigious Ford Foundation Innovations in American Government Award in recognition of this work. All three positions necessarily focused on different elements of the lifecycle of hazardous materials.
Dr. LeBlanc is now an adjunct Professor at the University of New England in Biddeford, Maine in the Environmental Studies Department.
