McCoy's RCRA Review

October 2019

Attendees and raptors!

Our last seminar just concluded and we appreciate all those who made the trek to Denver. Team McCoy enjoyed providing your RCRA training--and the Food & Feathers event--in our hometown.

And a special thank you to those who shared your Wednesday evening with us. It was a magical time with the HawkQuest team and guest raptors: bald eagle, peregrine falcon, barn owl, and the amazing desert raptor, the Harris hawk. Who could forget the stories of Mr. Kin Quitugua, master falconer, hunter, and environmental educator, as he flew the Harris hawk down the hall lined with our attendees and team!

We’ll be adding photos here, so if you have some you’d like to share, please email them to hello@mccoyseminars.com.

Solvent-contaminated wipe questions, answered

The McCoy team discusses solvent-contaminated wipes in nearly every seminar we hold. Afterward, there is usually a flurry of hands raised into the air requesting additional clarification on how to manage this ubiquitous waste stream. If it has been a while since you have been to one of our seminars, check out EPA’s FAQs database on the solvent-contaminated wipes rule. There might just be some tasty nuggets in there to help put your mind at ease.   READ MORE  

 

Plenty of seats in Chicago

We’re heading to Chicago, Illinois for a week of RCRA, October 28-November 1, 2019. Relax with us at the Doubletree Chicago North Shore Hotel, 17 miles north of Downtown and the Magnificent Mile. After your training, try a culinary adventure at the restaurant, Libertad. It’s a ten-minute drive from the hotel. You’ll enjoy the small plates that speak Nuevo Latino and dishes that reflect the mosaic of the Latin landscape. See you in Chicago/Skokie.

RCRA FAQ database at your fingertips

EPA guidance on RCRA issues comes from a variety of sources: RCRA Online, OSWER/OLEM directives, Federal Register preambles, policy assessments and more. That is a lot of different sources to navigate. Fortunately, many of the questions addressed in these documents are compiled into the Wastes – Frequent Questions database. One of the best functions of this database is the ability to submit your own question. We’ll show you how.   READ MORE  

 

Not all RCRA rules effective in all states

If only all RCRA regs took effect everywhere at the same time…. Since this isn’t the case, you’ll need to know which rules your state has adopted and which it has not. There have been a handful of significant rules promulgated in the past few years, and fortunately there is an easy way to keep track of their state adoption status. Come take a look at these maps to see which rules your facility will need to comply with.   READ MORE

e-Manifest system: adapt and adopt

Adoption of the e-manifest system is still lagging, despite being “live” for over a year. Accessibility challenges and lack of functionality are just a couple of factors keeping end-users at bay. To address these concerns and provide solutions, the e-Manifest Advisory Board convened in June and has made their meeting minutes available. The Board thoroughly considered dozens of roadblocks, challenges, and changes, and we invite you to see what is on the table for consideration.   READ MORE  

 

Phoenix in February

For those who like planning ahead, consider coming to our Phoenix RCRA seminar, February 10–14, 2020. The desert is beautiful in the springtime, so take a hike, and enjoy the warm (but not scorching) temperatures. We’ll be staying at the Tempe Mission Palms Hotel which is a treat in itself. Located on the main street through Tempe, you’ll be in walking distance to numerous restaurants, shops and attractions.
