Spencer Fane attorney Andrew Brought presented on various Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) compliance topics that are often misunderstood at REGFORM’s Missouri Hazardous Waste Seminar on April 30 in Columbia, Missouri. The firm also served as a sponsor of the event.
During his panel presentation, Top 10 RCRA Provisions That Confuse Even the Most Seasoned EHS Professionals, Andrew outlined just a few of the complexities of RCRA while providing discussion that aims to keep all EHS professionals out of trouble. In the first-of-its-kind panel discussion, Andrew focused on key aspects regarding waste characterization, avoiding pitfalls with the definition of solid waste, understanding RCRA’s applicability to recycling, and related challenges to managing hazardous waste in compliance with EPA and MDNR regulatory requirements.
The one-day seminar provided an overview of the latest information on the expected risk-based target levels (RBTLs), MRBCA guidance revisions, and the impacts of new vapor intrusion guidance. The Regulatory Environmental Group for Missouri (REGFORM)-hosted event focused a wide range of issues facing permitted generators and site owners.
At Spencer Fane, Andrew counsels manufacturers, industrial clients, and businesses with complex EPA and OSHA challenges.
