February 2017

Penalties take their annual leap

Last year, a new law required annual inflationary adjustments for RCRA civil penalties by January 15 of each year. Because last year was a catch-up year, the initial jumps were quite large. See how the penalties were affected this year. READ MORE

Waiting on a new prescription

Was EPA thinking about pharmaceuticals in the late seventies when they were writing the RCRA rules? At the manufacturing level, yes, but not at the retail and patient level. So how do we manage hazardous pharmaceutical wastes where RCRA wasn’t designed to work? READ MORE

Refresher in McCoy’s backyard

We’ll have home-field advantage for our first Refresher of 2017 in Denver, Colorado, March 21-22, 2017 at the Renaissance Boulder Flatiron. McCoy’s Refresher is perfect for RCRA veterans, with almost all the content in our 5-day seminar condensed into two fast-paced days, so you can get back to work in a flash. Or if you can stay longer for a mini-vacation, enjoy Colorado spring skiing with warm temps and clear skies. Join us.

Tips for business travel

2017 is here, and what better way to kick things off than by attending a McCoy seminar. Our presenters are seasoned travelers, and they have a few helpful tips to make your trip more comfortable.

“Get to the airport early. Two hours before your flight departs is best. Don’t rent a car if you don’t have to because parking can be very expensive in some cities. Uber is great!” ~ Paul Gallagher

“Find the fitness center at your hotel and use it at least three times per week!” ~ Rodger Goffredi

“Take advantage of programs like Global Entry or Clear to speed through security lines.” ~ Brian Lindman
