July 2017

Compacting = Treatment?

If you are compacting hazardous waste, would that be considered “treatment”? A company that compacts and bales its hazardous waste air filters asked EPA this question recently. And the agency has now responded with formal guidance. To find out the answer, see our summary. READ MORE

Last call for San Antonio

We have plenty of seats and there’s still time to sign up!

We’ll be in San Antonio, Texas next week, July 17-21, 2017. After your training, feast your eyes upon the stunning sunsets of Texas Hill Country atop the Tower of the Americas, a twelve-minute walk from the hotel. From the Tower, take in the scenery on the observation deck or dine in the award-winning Chart House restaurant. See Texas in a whole new way.

GIR guidance drips in

Now that the Generator Improvements Rule (GIR) has begun taking effect, EPA is getting inquiries about how it applies in particular situations. The wood treating industry is the first to receive any formal guidance—specifically on drip pads. We’ve summarized what the agency said. READ MORE

Step 1: Register for Boston 2-Day

We’ll be in Boston, Massachusetts, August 1-2, 2017. Our host hotel, the Royal Sonesta, is located in Cambridge, across the Charles River from Boston proper. We condense almost all of our 5-day seminar content into two fast-paced days and our two presenters will get you back to your facility fast.

Step 2: Enjoy Boston

Refresher attendees are often short on time so we won’t regale about the amazing abundance of things to do while you’re in town. However, we couldn’t resist mentioning two: Boston terriers and Trillium.

Yep, named after this great city, Boston terriers are true Americans, being the first “purebred” dog made in the USA. Learn about RCRA while you’re here AND contemplate bringing home one of the best family dogs around.

Or enjoy a warm, August evening in the garden. Head to Trillium Garden on the Greenway. Trillium is a beloved Boston craft brewer that believes in family, passion, and great beer. It’s about twenty minutes by car or the "T" subway.

Manifesting off-shore wastes

Off-shore oil platforms are unusual facilities under RCRA because they are, well, off-shore. EPA recently issued some new guidance that rescinds a previous interpretation regarding when manifests must accompany wastes shipped from off-shore oil platforms. READ MORE

48th anniversary of Apollo 11

On July 20, 2017, Sotheby’s will hold the first legal auction of moon dust and rocks from Apollo 11’s flight, according to Jim Hull, head of exhibits and artifacts at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Ownership of artifacts from lunar missions is generally restricted, so this auction is a unique event. Find out why.

RCRA on the alpine shore

McCoy ventures to Lake Tahoe for a week of RCRA training, August 21-25, 2017. Just a half-mile from the sparkling shores of North America’s largest alpine lake, sits Harvey’s, our host hotel. If you’re up for a round, the hotel offers preferred access to the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course. Or after your daily download, take a short walk to the waterfront and enjoy parasailing, jet-skiing, boating, kayaking, or stand-up paddleboarding. See you there.
