RCRA Alternative Compliance Monitoring Strategy Webinar

Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Task Force, Hazardous Waste, Webinars
Published on

EPA’s Compliance Monitoring Strategy (CMS) sets national inspection goals for treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDF) and large quantity generator (LQG) universes. It also discusses alternatives to those goals: EPA can approve flexibilities for RCRA-authorized partner agencies to redirect some compliance monitoring resources from traditional CMS activities at routinely inspected facilities to inspections that may address more pressing needs or areas of interest. The CMS lays out processes for approval and end-of-year reporting for alternative CMS approaches. This webinar will present background on the CMS, common alternatives used by States, and how the approval and reporting processes work.

Due to a technical error the first 10 minutes of the presentation were not recorded, we apologize for the inconvenience.

This presentation will focus on identifying hazardous secondary materials (HSM), how HSMs are regulated under RCRA, and when a HSM is eligible for a recycling exclusion. Examples and case studies will be used to illustrate the most recent definition of solid waste (DSW) exclusions, speculative accumulation, and the definition of legitimate recycling.

Presenters:

Mary Beth Sheridan has worked at EPA’s Office of Resource Conservation and Recycling since 1997, primarily on hazardous waste recycling and the generator regulations. Before coming to EPA, Mary Beth worked as an environmental consultant, a technical writer for McCoy’s Hazardous Waste Consultant, and at EPA’s RCRA/Superfund Hotline.

Tracy Atagi is a national subject matter expert on the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) recycling regulations. She has been with U.S. EPA’s Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery since 1991, working as the team leader on several RCRA-related rulemakings, including rulemakings related to the Definition of Solid Waste, Aerosol Can Universal Waste, Airbag Waste, and Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials.
