Water Act Amendments (the Water Quality Act of 1987) adopted
regulations to require the NPDES system to include storm water
discharges associated with construction...
I
had mentioned in an earlier post that I'd be going to our Ohio
office to help cook breakfast for our fantastic staff. It is a way
that the senior management team says "thanks" for all the terrific
work they do. Not as many showed up as originally planned because
they were already out on job sites and meeting with clients. But
for those that were able to make it, we had pancakes, eggs, fruit,
breads, and sausage. You can see (photo to left) Senior
Manager, Bill Glaze, busy at the grill cooking...

reputation. Repeat violations, or willful or knowing violations,
can further compound these issues exponentially. Both agencies view
repeat violations as a company’s indifference to environment and
safety regulations in general and can put you in a high risk
category. In fact, EPA and OSHA have a...

Join myself and Nicole Collett on Monday, September 30th at the 2013 National Safety Council Congress & Expo. We will be presenting "The Great Chicago Fire and Fire Prevention Plans". Our session #42 is 4:00-5:30pm. The breadth of important content of our presentation is OSHA's requirements related to Fire Prevention Plans but to make it interesting, and given the conference is in Chicago, we thought we'd give a little history lesson on the Great Chicago Fire.

If
a regulatory inspector shows up at your facility and does an
inspection, he may (or may not) inspect the practices (or lack
thereof) of the facility. Are hazardous waste drums properly
labeled? Are drum lids in place in the satellite accumulation areas
when waste is not being added to the drums? Is equipment associated
with the air permit operating properly (e.g. pressure gauge on a
baghouse). But they also may inquire about paperwork documentation.
Both of these items are important. Don't...
