How can SMG help you?
SMG POV
The other day someone asked me what exactly do I do as a SMG intern. The answer is simple; I jump in on a variety of projects that change focus week to week! Some days I am going on a highlighting frenzy while reading EPA models. Other days I am on the phone with U.S. geological survey (USGS) officials, going through water data on their website. Then there are days when I am able to be a part of a couple of projects at the same time, balancing excel sheets to bouncing to the library to look at Sanborn fire insurance maps. Whatever “it” is that I am doing here at SMG, I have been constantly learning the ins and outs of the environmental consulting industry as well as pushing myself to step up my performance with each task that is asked of me.
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.
