Designed as a guide to hands-on, day-to-day environmental management, this book covers the 'nuts and bolts' technical and management aspects of environmental compliance in addition to the basic regulatory issues. Written in plain English, not legalese, this book details the historic, legal, and scientific background from most environmental media and then explains the practical aspects of achieving both the paperwork and technical compliance. You'll learn how to successfully organize your compliance program, deal effectively with audits and inspections, accurately prepare reports when needed, maintain records, and train employees to meet your compliance goals.
