IOWA RCRA COMPLIANCE EVALUATION INSPECTIONS (CEI)

Iowa is the only state without RCRA enforcement authority, so Toeroek performs CEIs on behalf of EPA Region 7 at large quantity generator (LQG), small quantity generator (SQG), and conditionally exempt SQG facilities across Iowa. We have performed over 100 CEIs as well as 40 Compliance Assistance Visits (CAVs) at high schools to help identify potential compliance issues, such as management of used oil and universal waste. We draw on our experience drafting and reviewing RCRA permits and use checklists to provide thorough and comprehensive reviews and issue a notice of preliminary findings to the facility, which is then reviewed and modified as necessary by the EPA inspector responsible for the facility.
