INTRODUCTION TO CA TIERED PERMITTING PROGRAM M-B1

Monday 8am to 10am

Room	MARQUIS BALLROOM NORTHEAST
Seating	110 of 250 seats available
Credits	REHS: 2.0
Speakers	Mike Dudasko
Objective	Review the Tiered Permitting Program (TPP) and its applicability to specific situations to improve understanding by generators and regulators.
Description	After 30 years, the TPP often remains confusing for generators and CUPAs. As a key step in WW treatment and to reduce offsite haz waste disposal, its important that generators understand the TPP requirements and limitations. Its also important for regulators to understand when onsite processing may/may not be subject to jurisdiction. Case studies and compliance requirements for generators operating under different tiers will also be reviewed.
