Webinar: Hazardous Waste Update for Texas: Major Regulatory Revisions and Enforcement Initiatives

Effective in February, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality finally adopted EPA’s Generator Improvements rule for generators of hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.  The most consequential piece of the new rule is the “episodic generator” standard, which allows companies who carefully follow the rule an opportunity to retain the lighter regulatory burdens of small quantity generator status despite episodically generating large quantities of waste during events like turnarounds, maintenance, cleanouts, or spills.  This webinar discussed the episodic generator rule, how to satisfy TCEQ’s requirements for claiming episodic generation, and how to use this tool and others to protect your company or facility against a very aggressive and expensive EPA RCRA enforcement initiative that relies on generator errors occurring during these types of episodes.
