Overview:
Is your utility in compliance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations regarding PCB use and management?
As part of NWPPA's Environmental Series, this important two-day course meets the needs of rookies who are new to PCB regulations and pros who are well versed in the rules. This course offers practical guidance for electric utilities and is packed with industry best practices for achieving and maintaining compliance with U.S. EPA rules regarding PCB use and management.
The first day will focus on foundational PCB issues. On the second day, we will transition to more advanced PCB regulatory issues, including remediation waste cleanups, decontamination options, and management of non-PCB equipment and waste oils. You will discover best practices for compiling PCB records and EPA-required annual documents and learn what other utilities are doing to meet state and federal regulations. Upcoming trends and regulatory changes will be covered.
