How can SMG help you?
SMG POV
At Smith Management Group, we work closely with Division of Water and our clients to ensure that our clients are aware of DOW regulatory actions. With that goal in mind, SMG would like to point out that Kentucky Division of Water has recently:
- approved the Floyd’s Fork Bacteria TMDL; and
- received EPA approval on the 2012 Integrated Report on Water Quality.
In addition, DOW has recently sent an invitation for the Fall 2014 Hypoxia Task Force Meeting and Webcast.
Stay tuned for future updates about KDOW’s Nutrient Management Plan and Water Quality Web Portal as part of the requirements under HB 378 (2013), which was codified in KRS 224.70.150.
FEATURED PROJECT
PROBLEM
A local company engaged in manufacturing imported a small amount of a chemical substance defined under TSCA. Faced with a potential EPA enforcement action with penalties assessed for noncompliance under TSCA of up to $32,500 per day per violation, the company called SMG for help.
SMG'S APPROACH
SMG analyzed the company’s current TSCA procedures and assisted the company in developing a proactive, cost-effective compliance procedure. SMG also facilitated a training program to educate employees about TSCA.
MG worked with the company to develop mechanisms that assured adherence with the policies that were being implemented for compliance. Procedures to promptly correct any potential violations and prevent future violations were also put into place.
RESULTS
SMG was able to show that the company complied with the relevant TSCA regulations and was improving their TSCA policies and procedures to assure that future issues were less likely to occur. The company was not subjected to the proposed penalties and now has mechanisms in place to maintain TSCA compliance.
