At its October meeting, the Subcommittee decided to create two work
groups: environmental performance and monitoring. The environmental
performance work group is working on developing a code of conduct and a
definition of substantial compliance for the industry, and the
monitoring work group is exploring the different federal, state, and
local monitoring requirements with a goal of considering if current
monitoring of the industry is relevant to today's needs. At the January
meeting, the Subcommittee will allow time on January 21st for the two
work groups to meet in the morning and early afternoon, then review the
progress of these two work groups and decide its next steps.
Additionally, it will review the status of ongoing projects and discuss
the development of papers dealing with industry-specific Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act issues.
