Hazardous waste meeting

The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) will hold a free workshop at Jonesboro March 28, 2012, to assist individuals and facilities that generate hazardous wastes with compliance issues involving state and federal laws and regulations. The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Forrest L. Wood Crowley’s Ridge Nature Center, 600 East Lawson Road, in Jonesboro.

ADEQ personnel will provide information on topics such as hazardous waste classification; rules governing accumulation of hazardous wastes; treatment of hazardous wastes; employee training requirements; recordkeeping and reporting requirements; the hazardous waste manifest system; and an inspection checklist for hazardous wastes.

Interested parties should contact Clyde Rhodes, chief of the ADEQ Hazardous Waste Division, for reservations at 501-682-0831, or rhodes@adaeq.state.ar.us.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunch to the workshop. Similar workshops are scheduled for June 20, at El Dorado, and September 26 at Hot Springs.
