The DEQ is offering a comprehensive Environmental Compliance Workshop for the Auto Salvage and Scrap Metal Industries, Tuesday, December 11, 2018 at Genesys Conference and Banquet Center in Grand Blanc, Michigan.

Businesses involved with the management and processing of scrap metal and automotive salvage are subject to many environmental regulations. Compliance with these regulations is vital to protecting Michigan’s air, land, and water resources as well as the health of workers and the community.

The DEQ is hosting this day-long, comprehensive training to help scrap metal processors and automotive recyclers understand and comply with state and federal environmental regulations. With several staff from the DEQ and MIOSHA on hand to answer questions, attendees will get details on new storm water requirements, as well as air quality and waste management regulations. Participants will also learn how to prepare for and respond to accidental releases and environmental emergencies.

This workshop will also be of interest to local officials, code enforcement officers, and other environmental, health, and safety professionals.
