Training for Participation in Environmental Programs
RATIONALEExperience with small and medium size manufacturers has taught us that although there is usually a desire to protect the environment, the state and federal environmental regulatory programs are complex, and there is often a mistrust of state or federal regulations. This project addresses the EPA's Toxic Release Reporting: Community Right-To-Know program. The proposal is to utilize funds to finance local free non-government technical assistance to small and medium size manufacturers.
OBJECTIVES
Conduct six free technical assistance seminars to help small to medium size facilities accurately participate in the EPA's Toxic Release Reporting: Community Right-To-Know program. Follow-up on-site technical assistance for seminar participants with need for additional help will be included. The seminars will be "hands on" utilizing proven Winrock consultants and technical staff. During the on-site technical assistance, technical consultants will assist facility personnel in locating/obtaining appropriate records for completing threshold determinations and will assist in completion of the calculations necessary to determine whether a Form R Report is required.
ACTIVITIES
Half-day workshops offered in six locations; Conway, Jonesboro, Fayetteville and Fort Smith, Arkansas; and Pryor, Broken Arrow and Tulsa, Oklahoma.
