Advanced Environmental Interface

This site contains useful current information on key subject areas to help people in business and industry understand and comply with environmental regulations and good management practices. All information on these pages has been converted from regulatory and legal terminology into pictures, diagrams and simplified concepts we hope are easier to absorb and use.

You will find these pages especially useful if you are a:

Industrial plant owner or manager,
Corporate or outside environmental counsel,
Plant environmental compliance person, or
Principal in a commercial property transaction.

Complex regulatory information can be difficult to absorb and relate to daily business operations unless you deal with it constantly. We've observed some confusion in the regulated community as to what requirements apply, and when, and how. This is our common-sense contribution to reducing that confusion. It's not perfect, but it is a start.

These pages contain a variety of materials that the business and industrial community has found helpful over the years. There are photos, illustrations, diagrams and other graphics, animations or videos, and text explanations where appropriate. The three key thoughts behind each piece of material are:

"Information is pretty thin stuff unless mixed with experience."
-- Clarence Day
"Everything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler."
-- Albert Einstein
"If you don't know where you're going, it doesn't matter how you get there."
-- the Rabbit to Alice in Lewis Carrol's "Alice in Wonderland".

So...we've mixed our many years of nuts-and-bolts experience in the environmental business into all the material presented on these pages. We try to keep things simple, but still accurate. We try to show some pathways out of regulatory brambles. We hope that somewhere in these pages the goose has laid a little nugget that will make your browsing time well spent.

Please note that pages beyond the index page may contain graphics, frames, forms, animations or video. These will transfer at a reasonable speed with a newer processor (Pentium, Pentium II, PowerPC) and a modem speed (nominal) of 28.8 kbps or higher. If you don't have that configuration, you may want to turn off the images in your browser to increase the speed.
