Environmental Compliance Workshops:

A New Self-Assessment Compliance Tool for Small Businesses & Municipalities

No fee to attend

Click here to Register

Are you aware of all the environmental regulations that may apply to your small business or municipality?

Hazardous and Solid Waste. . . Storm Water. . . Waste Water. . . Petroleum Storage. . . Drinking Water. . . Air Pollution. . .

Don’t get caught after-the-fact about state or EPA regulations you weren’t aware of. The Environmental Assistance Office has developed an environmental compliance self-assessment guide as a starting point in identifying pertinent regulations that may apply to your operations. Workshop attendees will receive a copy of the new self assessment guide and will learn how to use it, as well as learning how to access environmental assistance resources.

These FREE compliance workshops are provided by the VT Department of Environmental Conservation’s Environmental Assistance Office and will be presented by non-regulatory staff in the Small Business and Municipal Compliance Assistance Programs. All are welcome.

The Small Business Ombudsman (SBO) serves as an effective conduit for small businesses to access EPA and facilitate communications between the small business community and the Agency. The SBO reviews and resolves disputes with EPA and works with EPA personnel to increase their understanding of small businesses in the development and enforcement of environmental regulations. The SBO function was established in 1982 and is currently a part of EPA's Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization located within the Office of the Administrator. The SBO's primary customer group is the nation's small business community. Significant secondary customer groups include state and EPA regional small business ombudsmen and national trade associations serving small businesses.
