Today, companies need to go beyond environmental compliance to be competitive, to meet shareholder expectations and to conduct business abroad. They need to not only understand the laws and regulations, but learn the emerging trends and apply the latest technologies to stay ahead of the curve.

The Pennsylvania Chamber — renowned for its effective compliance assistance programs—presents two entirely new learning tracks that will identify the emerging trends and showcase the latest technologies that companies seek to take in-house environmental programs to new levels of achievement:

• Best Practices/Emerging Trends
• 20 Years after Ashland’s Catastrophic Tank Failure—are you in compliance?
• Developing a Baseline Greenhouse Gas Inventory
• Disaster Planning for Environmental Managers—including new requirements
• Decommissioning and Closing Facilities
• Navigating Stakeholder Involvement
• European Union Environmental Regulations

• New Technologies
• Utilizing Renewable Energy at Your Facility
• Water Treatment Technologies to Meet New Stringent Standards
• Assessing which Technologies Work for You
• Carbon Footprinting—developing corporate objectives
• Using Metals Recovered from Acid Mine Drainage

• Basic Compliance — Environmental Recordkeeping; Municipal and Residual Waste Compliance; Fine Particulate Air Quality Standards; Spill Prevention; Stormwater Pollution Plans; and the new Homeland Security Chemical Facility Security Rule.

You can register for both days, or select either day. Please see the agenda tab for full details on the speakers and topics.
