How can SMG help you?
SMG POV
How’s my waterway – an app and a website by EPA which helps people to find out information on the condition of thousands of lake, rivers and streams across the United States. This app/website uses GPS technology or a user-entered zip code or city name to provide information about the quality of local water bodies. Recently a new version has been released which includes data on local drinking water sources, watersheds, permits that limit pollutant discharge into waterways and efforts to protect waterways.

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.
