SBruce King, AristaTek

Formed as a Wyoming corporation in January 1999, AristaTek is a certified HUBZone small business concern located in Laramie, WY. The four founders are former employees of the University of Wyoming Research Corporation (UWRC) and were the core technical staff of the Hazardous Materials Research Group that conducted field scale research studies at the Nevada Test Sites Hazmat Spill Center (HSC). The research was mandated in the 80s when Congress decided to include UWRC in the 1986 Superfund and Reauthorization Act (SARA) to investigate and develop new hazardous chemical technology while developing a Technology Transfer Program to convey these new technologies to the public sector. Again in 1990, UWRC was directed in the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) to develop calibrated data sets of field-scale vapor cloud dispersion releases of dense-gas stimulants under worst-case scenarios that would be used to establish a basis for the Risk Management Plans (RMPs) to be implemented in 1999. These investigations were funded by industry, DOE and EPA and managed by the UWRC technical staff that eventually formed the AristaTek spin-off. The field-scale research studies involved source strength studies to validate mathematical model formulations for the evaporation rates of liquid chlorine and liquid anhydrous ammonia in the existing wind tunnel at the HSC. The vapor dispersion studies culminated in the Kit Fox Series conducted in the summer of 1995 that were the first of a kind investigations to document dispersion of heavier-than-air gases under neutral and stable meteorological conditions across multiple surface roughness configurations. The project required management and collaboration with ten petrochemical participants*, DOEs Office of Fossil Energy, DOEs Office of Nonproliferation and National Security, EPAs Office of Research and Development, EPAs Chemical Emergency Preparedness and Prevention Office, University of Nevada Reno, and US Armys Dugway Proving Grounds.

Russel Hillman, Nexus Refrigeration

Since 2018, Nexus Refrigeration has been at the intersection of safety and design. Our specialization is in industrial refrigeration systems, primarily ammonia. Most often, engineering and PSM are done independently of one another. However, at Nexus, they are united. We use a model for plan and spec work that incorporated PSM into the design and this prevents PSM issues down the road. Nexus is a group of 34 strong (and growing!) engineering design and PSM compliance consultants. With a headquarters in Norfolk, VA, we have a national reach with employees based all over the US. We worked in over 43 states in 2024, and Nexus is PE licensed in over 20 states and adding as needed. Nexus can be nimble enough to handle small service projects efficiently yet has the capabilities for full greenfield construction refrigeration design. Nexus has the following product offerings: Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), Training (In person and Online Asynchronous), Compliance Audits, Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), Management of Change (MOC), OSHA and EPA Inspection Assistance, Mechanical Integrity (MI), Process Safety Management (PSM) Assistance, Process Safety Information (PSI), Engineering Project Design, Professional Engineering (PE) Services, Engineering Studies, and System Diagnostics. But the most important product offering is a third-party opinion. We are not a contractor, and we do not do service work, sell parts, or install anything. If we say something needs to be replaced, it needs to be replaced! Nexus is built on traditional company values such as safety, integrity, honesty, excellence, and passion. We treat our customers and employees the way we want to be treated. We are proud of the people who are part of this industry. They arent just numbers or customers to us, they are valued friends. Nexus is customer-focused and employee-centric, and our goal is to continue to build our client base and team members around others who share our passion for industrial refrigeration.

Richard Casagrande, Calif Compliance School

California Compliance School (CCS) is an innovative, activity-based training program that will teach you the basics of complying with the confusing maze of environmental regulations in a fun and interesting format! Using experts in the field of adult learning principles, the team of curriculum development specialists at CCS put together a performance-based program that addresses the most common questions and practices of environmental compliance for hazardous waste generators. "Performance-based" means that, during the course of the class, you will learn what you need to know to apply these skills to your business operations. This keeps you in compliance, saves money through waste reduction, and may prevent you from getting fined! As you can imagine, this format is dramatically different from sitting for eight hours in front of an instructor who lectures the whole time, without really giving you an opportunity to demonstrate that you have learned anything--or to practice what you may have learned. The credit for the CCS concept goes to employees of the Department of Toxic Substances Control. They realized the need for basic hazardous waste management training but recognized that an institution of adult learning (a college) would be better equipped to develop and provide the training than a regulatory agency. Their vision was a "Traffic School" for hazardous waste generators, which would allow fines for certain violations to be "forgiven" by the DTSC and today that vision is a reality.

John Paine, CalEPA

Our mission is to restore, protect and enhance the environment, to ensure public health, environmental quality and economic vitality. We fulfill our mission by developing, implementing and enforcing environmental laws that regulate air, water and soil quality, pesticide use and waste recycling and reduction. Our departments are at the forefront of environmental science, using the most recent research to shape the states environmental laws. The Office of the Secretary heads CalEPA, overseeing and coordinating the activities of one office, two boards, and three departments dedicated to improving Californias environment. CalEPA consists of the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR), the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), and the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). CARB works to reduce air pollution and diesel exhaust so all Californians can breathe cleaner air and leads the nation in fighting climate change with integrated programs to cut greenhouse gases under AB 32. DPR protects workers and consumers by ensuring the safe use of pesticides through registration, permitting and training. CalRecycle helps the state achieve the highest waste reduction, recycling and reuse goals in the nation through programs that improve economic vitality and environmental sustainability. DTSC cleans up hazardous waste sites to put them back into productive use and reduce blight and contamination to the neighborhoods and surrounding environments. OEHHA serves as the scientific foundation for CalEPAs environmental regulations and provides valuable information to consumers, policy makers and manufacturers on the safety of chemicals in our environment. SWRCB ensures that the quality of drinking water and our water ways is safe and that we balance its use to meet the needs of all Californians.
