(Texas City) — A free class on waste management
is being offered through the College of the Mainland’s
Center for Risk Management on Friday, Oct.
19.
The day-long class – Regulated Waste Management
and RCRA Updates – is being held at the college’s
Gulf Coast Safety Institute in La Marque.
Under the auspices of the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976, the U.S Envi ronmental
Protection Agency developed regulations
regarding the proper management of waste materials
which went into effect in 1980. The regulations
have gone relatively unchanged for 37
years but two substantial changes are expected
within a year. This class will address the basic requirements
of waste management with emphasis on
the forthcoming changes.
Steve Laughlin who has more
than 20 years of experience in
the environmental health and
safety profession, is teaching the
class.
The class, sponsored by the
Texas Mutual Insurance Company,
is being taught at the Gulf
Coast Safety Institute located at
320 Delany Road and is scheduled
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with
check-in starting at 7:30 a.m.
