NCMS has been awarded two five-year Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grants totalling $2.6 Million to assist the regulated industries understand and comply with environmental regulations impacting their sector-specific industries. The goal is to improve processes and reduce pollution, while saving money by sharing effective pollution control techniques.
Funding is provided for NCMS to continue to manage several Compliance Assistance Centers (CACs) allowing individuals and companies alike to access regulatory information and best management practices tailored to their specific industry. While EPA provides funding, control of the site remains with NCMS. This assures individual regulatory questions are addressed without having to make direct contact with EPA and other State and Local regulatory agencies initially.
Over the past several years, NCMS has received EPA funding in excess of $8 Million supporting environmental and sustainability programs.
Centers that NCMS will be managing directly or hosting under these new grants include:
- Metal Finishing
- Construction
- Paints and Coatings
- Transportation
- Ports
- Borders (multi-language including Canada, Mexico, Imports/Exports and China)
- Food Processing
- Auto Recycling
- Local Government
- 24 State Locators (provides easy access to state-specific regulations and resources for all Centers in twenty four specific categories including Universal Waste, Stormwater, Asbestos, Lead, and Hazardous Waste)
