| A B O U T T H E C O N F E R E N C E “After more than 10 years in development, EPA is proposing long-awaited changes to solid waste regulations that are likely to exclude 1.5 million tons of hazardous waste annually from federal regulations. Environmental groups charge that the proposed regulations represent the biggest rollback in land and groundwater protection in the history of RCRA. Industry representatives maintain that the proposed rulemaking does not go far enough! In addition, EPA has announced plans to issue regulations that will encourage the recycling of “CRTs” - or cathode ray tubes, the display components in televisions and computer monitors that contain about 4 pounds of lead as well as other toxic metals - to try and stem the burgeoning “electronic waste” or “E-waste” problem. Meanwhile industry, municipalities and other interested parties struggle to reach consensus on an E-waste solution. This seminar will cover these issues and other solid waste developments and regulatory activities that are likely to make 2004 one of the most active periods in recent history.” Program Co-Chairs: Andrew Kenefick, Esq. of Waste Management, Inc., and Marlys S.
