Is your facility prepared to maintain its environmental compliance throughout the year? Many manufacturing companies are struggling with ways to cost costs while still producing a high quality product and meeting the needs of their employees. One area that tends to be continually looked at from a cost-savings perspective is environmental, health and safety (EH&S). Often times, it is common for facilities to cut EH&S costs to save on overall operating expenses with the hope they will not be...
Read More »During the last 11 years, August Mack’s eCAP® program (Compliance Assurance Program) has expanded and grown from a regional initiative to a national program that has served more than 100 facilities. The genesis of the program began in 1999 and the natural evolution has seen the eCAP program morph into a fully functional sustainable Environmental Management System (EMS), currently approved as a Supplemental Environmental Program (SEP). Applying a tad of revisionist history we might be inclined to...

Hiring an environmental compliance
consultant will add credibility to your result in
the eyes of your external stakeholders. These individuals or firms
usually have an already established relationship with the
environmental governing bodies and are knowledgeable in how to
submit reports correctly.
If you suspect a violation may be present or you become aware that a facility should have been complying with a law but has not, a consultant can come in and offer environmental compliance solutions.

On August 21, 1999, arsonists set
fire to an estimated seven million tires at the Kirby Scrap Tire
Facility located in Sycamore, Ohio. This would later be classified
as one of the largest tire fires in the state’s history and would
take approximately 250 firefighters three weeks to
extinguish.
The former tire collection facility is situated on 140 acres located in Sycamore, Ohio. The scrap tire facility started collecting tires in the 1950s and, at the time of the fire, contained an estimated...

(EMS) standard specifies that an organization shall

Having turnover of personnel is
never fun and puts stress and burdens on those still at the
company. For many companies, the environmental compliance
responsibilities reside in the hands of one person. If this person
leaves the company, it is a stressful time handling these issues.

A lot has happened with environmental compliance in the past 40
years. Take a look at a US EPA Press Release from 40
years ago this month.
In order for your
ISO 14001 environmental
management system to be consistent with the 2004
version of the standard, your facility must verify
compliance
with environmental regulations
through a documented third-party environmental compliance audit. August
Mack Environmental, Inc. has assisted clients with their
environmental
consulting needs by performing third-party environmental compliance auditing in
states throughout North American including Pennsylvania, Indiana,
Ohio, Michigan and Missouri.

implements eCAP (Compliance Assurance Program) at your facility,
you are not getting a single environmental compliance consultant
but rather a whole team in the background. No one person can
be an expert at everything, thus depending upon the issue, the
Account Manager for your facility will tap into the expert
resources within August Mack.
Join us on December 13th for a
webinar describing what August Mack Environmental’s Compliance
Assurance Program has done for more than 100 facilities in the past
11 years. We will explain why many companies chose to utilize this
program to either support or supplement the EH&S compliance
activities at their facilities. What started out as a revolutionary
concept more than 11 years ago, is now a well developed program
with many years of experience built into our systems. At the end of
the day,...

We had a two-hour meeting with our client to review potential changes in the operation of the plant potentially resulting in modifications in the existing air permit. After the meeting, we toured the facility and our client briefed me on the processes and operations of the plant. It was an awesome experience for me to be able to sit in for the day and learn from the best.

Last week I have been updating the compliance assistance
program (eCAP®) website for our clients. The
website maintains the client’s documents for each module they have
in their eCAP® program. I cleaned up
individual client webpages by stacking old documents and organizing
the newer documents. This way our clients have easy access to their
compliance documents without having to mess with organizing them on
their own.
