Identify any state or federal regulations to which Riordan must adhere.
Riordan must adhere to state and federal regulations that pertain to a manufacturing organization. The regulations include hazardous waste generator requirements found in Title 40 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 260, 261, and 262, or their state equivalent. To be compliant Riordan must identify any hazardous waste that weighs more than 2000 pounds or 1000 kilograms. Specific container management and label requirements must be followed; the contents shipped to a specific or designated treatment facility, and include a manifest. Another regulation that Riordan must follow is one established by the Federal Clean Air Act. This act requires that Riordan be compliant by determining how much air emissions of hazardous particulates are emitted then securing a permit that limits how much they are allowed. Riordan must also secure a storm water permit that controls how many pollutants discharged pursuant to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. This system controls how much storm water comes in contact with industrial waste that flows into ditches, rivers, streams, or sewers (Business Sustainability Assessment Worksheet: California R and D, n.d.).
