It’s been a while since the last entry and it also indicates that there was not much to write about. Like the stalled US recovery, many of the programs that we have been involved with are also stalled. Budgets are still tight, energy prices are increasing with recent events and environmental issues are still being worked on.
There is a glimmmer of hope related to the EPA’s ruling on the definition of solid wastes. This ruling directly affects the permitting requirements for industry to burn non-hazardous waste materials. I still don’t understand why it has taken this long, and if not ordered by a judge, the EPA’s ruling would have taken even longer to be published. Why re-invent the wheel when many European have similar or even stricter regulations than the EPA’s latest round of definitions?
I will be writng more on this in the next couple of days, so stay tuned!
