Waste Combustors Conference
to Examine New Emissions Standards

New emission standards and compliance methodologies require companies, their consultants, and regulators to re-evaluate past practices established under the RCRA Boiler and Industrial Furnace Rules and Interim HWC MACT standards. As a result, you don't want to miss A&WMA's Hazardous Waste Combustors Conference and Exhibition, which takes place March 13-14, 2007, in Charleston, SC.  The conference will feature a special emphasis on implementation of final HWC MACT standards, as well as overlapping RCRA regulatory issues.
