Hazardous Waste Management for Generators

---

1 day(s) , 7 instructional hours
7 Engineering Professional Development Hours (PDHs)

About This Event:

According to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), generators of hazardous waste are required to properly classify, manage and ship their wastes. This event offers guidance to those who must comply with the regulations for conditionally exempt, small and large quantity generators. You will receive a manual prepared for North Carolina hazardous waste generators and a 40 CFR Parts 260-265 as part of the course materials.

Recommended For:

This event is designed for generators of hazardous wastes including users of cleaning solvents, oil-based paints, inks, wood preservatives, plating solutions, photographic chemicals, degreasers and rust and paint removers; dry cleaners, auto body shops and printers; municipal staff whose duties involve the management of hazardous chemicals and waste; and environmental managers.

Instructor(s):

Charlie Parrish, P.E., is an environmental engineering specialist at NC State University Industrial Extension Service (IES). Since joining IES in July of 1998, he has worked on a variety of environmental programs including air quality permitting, emissions testing, water quality assessments, ISO 14001 Environmental Management System development, industrial waste minimization assessments, energy surveys, health and safety assessments, environmental compliance assessments, and other areas. Prior to working at IES, he worked for SAIC where his responsibilities included air permitting, air emissions inventories, mobile source emissions modeling, and development of regulatory guidance documents and software tools. Much of his experience has focused on field and laboratory measurements for air quality, industrial hygiene, water quality, and other environmental disciplines. Mr. Parrish has a bachelor's in biology (1978) from San Diego State University and a master's in environmental engineering (1989) from Virginia Tech University.
