Hazardous Materials Management
ALPHA-OMEGA ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Trying to maneuver through the myriad regulations regarding hazardous materials can be a daunting task for even the most experienced professional. To stay in compliance, you have to know the regulations relating to transportation, worker safety, storage, and waste disposal. Alpha-Omega provides services in all these areas and regularly attends training to stay up to date with the ever changing regulations.

One of the most far reaching pieces of legislation involving hazardous materials is Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976. This legislation also spawned the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), commonly known as the Superfund Act, the Superfund Amendments Reauthorization Act (SARA) and the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) among others. We are very familiar with the requirements of each of these regulations and their ramifications to the regulated community. All of our technical personnel are certified OSHA 40-hour hazardous waste site workers and supervisors and maintain annual updates.

Many active and former waste disposal sites were directly affected by the RCRA legislation. Sites containing listed and characteristic hazardous wastes were required to take additional actions to protect the surrounding environment. Our staff is fully prepared to assist in the negotiation and interpretation of Superfund RODs and have also researched and designed a wide array of treatment technologies for Superfund sites including; soil vapor extraction, air sparging, dual-phase extraction, oxygen release compound, hydrogen release compound; phytoremediation, and zero-valence metals.

One of the most important elements of a waste disposal site is the liner system used to keep wastes in and water out. We have been involved in the evaluation of clay and synthetic liners as well as the design of final caps to meet various state and federal guidelines. Services that we provide relating to hazardous waste management include the following:

Whatever the need, whether compliance, characterization, or remediation, Alpha-Omega has the experience and personnel to address the challenging requirements of hazardous materials management.
