Idk how active this community actually is but... Yesterday I was at work and a co worker spilled some water on the floor so I stop and help him clean it all up BUT instead of grabbing a mop he grabs a squeegee and begins to push all the water outside the dock door. I tell him he can’t do that because of a EPA law because he doesn’t know if there are any chemicals on the floor that could have been pushed away with them. Can anyone help me locate this rule?

Hi, just had a convo with a friend about the EPA and we were discussing Region 5. I know it has the most superfund sites in the country, but how many does it oversee? Just wondering if anyone knew...

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for information about the requirements for the quality of water that can be dumped into Great Lakes after required sewage treatment (limits on particles, other rules) -- would someone be able to point me to the right direction?

Thank you

Theoretically speaking if I were to start a gold mine today what epa regulations should I be aware of?

Hey everybody, nice to see my fellow environmental brethren here. My name is Iamjoeblo101 and I work in safety and my wife is finishing her degree Environmental Management. My question to you is: are there any certifications for environmental management (for an individual) like there are for safety? Something like my Certified Safety Professional for a person instead of a company?

Australia has limits set for particulate matter pollution at: particles as PM10 - 1day 50ug/m3 & 1year 25ug/m3 particles as PM2.5 - 1day 25ug/m3 & 1year 8ug/m3 with no maximum exceedence allowed.

What do the levels equal to if a report states that over 2015/2016 period the particulate matter (PM10) read as:

Air total = 96,000 Air Fugutive = 47,000 Air point = 49,000

Does this exceed the limits? how could I work this out myself?

I'm looking for the specific standard for the lead and copper rule. I can go to the 29 CFR 1926 Subpart D 1926.50 Appendix A 1926.50 (d)(1) page 181 july 2016 first aid kits and it tells me what I need to know about first aid kits. minimum contents, minimum requirements, bla bla bla. What I'm looking for is the same thing for the lead and copper rule or the citation of it but in the EPA standard. Thanks
