INDIANAPOLIS — An upcoming event is aiming to help Hoosier companies that must comply with environmental regulations. The Indiana Chamber of Commerce’s Environmental Permitting and Reporting Conference will take place April 27-28 at the Indiana Chamber Conference Center in downtown Indianapolis.
The Environmental Protection Agency enforces billions of dollars every year in combined federal administrative, civil judicial penalties and criminal fines. The Environmental Permitting and Reporting Conference is intended to help attendees’ companies avoid contributing to those numbers.
“This is the most complete and comprehensive permitting and reporting course offered in the state,” said Kerri Begley, Indiana Chamber vice president of business education and events. “This course will provide you with the information you need to understand permitting programs while giving you the most current updates on reporting issues facing the regulated community.”
The conference is designed for:
- plant personnel responsible for air and water permitting.
- managers who review permit applications and work with corporate staff and production to plan for and implement changes in operations.
- facility personnel who must review new permits and evaluate whether to accept permit conditions or challenge them.
- persons responsible for compliance with environmental requirements.
- facility personnel who develop plans, or work with consultants to develop plans to address contamination on site.
- persons responsible for dealing with waste management issues at the facility.
Cost for the conference is $749 for Indiana Chamber members or $849 for non-members. Register at www.indianachamber.com/conferences. The conference is sponsored by KERAMIDA Inc. and Faegre Drinker.
