Waste and Hazardous Waste Program Resources

If your facility generates waste or hazardous waste, compliance can quickly become confusing. Between generator classifications, storage rules, training requirements, and state-specific regulations, it is not always clear what applies to you or how to stay on the right side of inspections.

This Waste and Hazardous Waste Learning Center brings together clear, practical guidance to help you understand the requirements that matter most to your operation. Whether you are managing your program internally or considering outside support, this is a reliable place to get informed before making your next move.

Maybe you’re not quite ready to reach out yet, and that’s completely fine. Waste and hazardous waste regulations can be frustrating, especially when generator status, accumulation rules, and state versus federal requirements don’t always line up cleanly. That’s exactly why we built the Waste and Hazardous Waste Learning Center: one clear place to understand how these programs work and what EPA and state regulators actually expect from your facility.

From generator classifications and inspection requirements to training obligations, recordkeeping, and common compliance mistakes, this is where you’ll find practical, experience-driven guidance. Every article, video, and resource here is based on real hazardous waste programs RMA has built, audited, and supported, not generic summaries. We help facilities stay compliant without overcomplicating things, and we’re happy to share what matters most.

    Simply put, as a consultant to the ready mixed concrete industry, Doug Ruhlin and the staff of RMA are one of the foremost authorities in terms of environmental regulations, permits, and responsibilities.

    I have known Doug Ruhlin of RMA for nearly 20 years. RMA has been a leader in the environmental arena for all of that time. They're intimately versed in the key environmental issues that affect aggregates and concrete producers; they know the laws, regulations and both industries thoroughly. RMA has helped steer the formulation of new regulations and they have helped to direct industry's response to the current and new regulations - in multiple states. I would not acquire an existing operation or start a greenfield plant or quarry without consulting Doug.

    We had the pleasure of working with RMA for our environmental consulting needs, and we are thoroughly impressed with their expertise and professionalism. From the initial consultation to the final permit issuance, their team was knowledgeable, thorough, and responsive. Doug, Tate & their team took the time to understand our specific challenges and provided clear, actionable advice that helped us navigate environmental regulations for our recycling facility with the DEP and EPA officials. Their attention to detail and commitment to delivering high-quality work exceeded our expectations. They even helped us by looping in other specialized professionals to complete various required testing/ tasks for our permit application. If you're looking for an environmental consulting firm that is reliable, knowledgeable, and results-driven, I highly recommend RMA. They are true professionals who go above and beyond to support their clients.

    After an extensive search, our firm hired RMA to educate our team on industry environmental best practices. Doug and his team were very thorough in their presentation and supporting documentation, and gave us a real world expectation of what we should be mindful of regarding reclaiming, slurry water, pH levels, permitting and other topics. I would highly recommend RMA to any company interested in understanding the important elements of environmental compliance, sustainability and those interested in positioning themselves as leaders in environmental stewardship.
