Navigating the complex landscape of environmental regulations is essential for any organization to maintain compliance and uphold environmental responsibility. At MEC, we recognize the significance of adhering to regulations such as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), Clean Water Act (CWA), Clean Air Act (CAA), Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, as well as pertinent state and local requirements. However, staying ahead of these regulations and ensuring compliance can be challenging without the guidance of experienced environmental consultants.

Our team of experts offers invaluable assistance by providing comprehensive assessments, developing tailored compliance strategies, implementing effective management plans, and offering ongoing support to mitigate risks and optimize environmental performance. With our guidance, organizations can navigate regulatory complexities with confidence, ensuring sustainable practices, safeguarding public health, and minimizing the potential for costly penalties or reputational damage. Trust MEC to be your partner in achieving and maintaining compliance excellence.

What You Need To Know:

• RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) mandates the proper management of hazardous waste from generation to disposal, including stringent requirements for storage, transportation, and treatment, aiming to protect human health and the environment.
• CERCLA (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act), commonly known as Superfund, holds parties responsible for the cleanup of hazardous waste sites, even if they did not cause the contamination, through a mechanism of strict, joint, and several liability.
• The Clean Water Act (CWA) regulates the discharge of pollutants into surface waters, but it also includes provisions for controlling nonpoint source pollution and establishing water quality standards to protect aquatic ecosystems and public health.
• The Clean Air Act (CAA) not only targets air pollution from industrial sources but also addresses issues such as acid rain, ozone depletion, and greenhouse gas emissions, making it a comprehensive framework for protecting air quality and public welfare.
• TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act) provides the EPA with authority to regulate the production, use, and disposal of chemicals in the United States, aiming to assess and mitigate risks associated with potentially harmful substances while promoting innovation and economic growth.
