100 points
Overview:
The purpose of this exercise is to interpret relevant EPA – environmental regulations and
implementing the required compliance aspects as applicable. Prepare content that addresses one
specific law or regulation. Your report will be posted on Canvas.
An outline of the project will consist of the following sections:
a) Basic information (a description of the law and agency involved)
b) Required regulations
c) Criteria for meeting or requiring compliance
d) Enforcement
e) Training and resource assistance (such as references)
Focus:
The purpose of this exercise is to focus on a specific law or regulation and provide helpful information
that others can access to determine if they merit compliance with the affected regulations. Please let
me know which regulation you intend to survey, so that we can have a good mix of topics and avoid
multiple people selecting the same regulation to review.
This is not intended to be a comprehensive project. The intent is to provide an outline of the
standard and identify what is required to achieve compliance. Work at being concise.
Refer to the slide template included in the exercise. Please complete the information or some
examples related to your standard.
Provide guidance to help organizations or employers meet the regulations, as well as how to prepare
the necessary materials. Also mention any licensing or accreditation required.
