Members and guests of the NASF New England Chapter were once again given the opportunity to learn the latest processing techniques, wastewater treatment technologies and mandatory regulatory requirements at a half day seminar hosted by the New England Chapter of the NASF. The four hour seminar, which was preceded by a luncheon buffet, ran from 1:00 to 5:00 pm on February 15, 2018 at the Holiday Inn in Marlborough, Massachusetts.
Jeff Mosholder of New Path LLC was once again the moderator and primary instructor of the seminar. Jeff covered the mandatory annual RCRA training that is required by all who handle, or are responsible for, hazardous wastes at chemical and metal finishing facilities.
Pam Eliason and Alicia McCarthy of the Mass Toxic Use Reduction Institute located at the U-Mass Lowell Campus, conducted a segment on seeking alternative less toxic chemical replacements/substitutions for toxic substances used in processing through the use of their on-line P20Asys database. This is a very useful tool available for metal finishing/chemical use professionals who are looking for less toxic means of achieving a set processing goal.
Vipin Sumani and Tom Seguljic of HRP associates also presented a segment on how to achieve zero discharge from a metal finishing facility through the process of close loop waste water treatment and recovery. They demonstrated how this technology could be applied to all size facilities, not just small quantity / low flow operations.
Educational opportunities as offered in this seminar are just one of the many benefits of membership in a local organization like NENASF with strong national ties through the NASF.

Description
Please join the Office of Advocacy for a roundtable discussion of federal regulatory issues impacting your small business. Advocacy is also inviting Massachusetts Congressional offices and key federal agencies to hear your concerns about federal regulations and other issues you may be facing with your small business.
President Trump has made regulatory reform a center piece of his agenda and recently signed two executive orders addressing the regulatory burden faced by the private sector. As the independent voice for small business within the federal government, The Office of Advocacy has a unique and important role to aid agency implementation of the new executive orders. To assist in accomplishing the goals of the executive orders, we have developed a Regulatory Reform Action Plan.
As part of this plan, we are hosting Regional Regulatory Reform Roundtables across the country in an effort to hear from small businesses first-hand about what federal regulations most concern and/or impact them. In order for this Regulatory Reform effort to be successful, we need small business participation. This will be an opportunity for small business leaders to educate Advocacy and federal agencies through first-hand accounts of how federal regulations impact their small business. The information gathered at these roundtables will be utilized to inform agencies, Congress and the public on what specific regulations can be modified or removed to help small businesses.
Registration for this event is free, however please fill out the registration form below so that we will be prepared to discuss various regulatory issues. If you are unable to attend but would still like to provide us with federal regulatory small business concerns, please fill out the form.
