Abstract
It is important for everyone to comply with environmental regulations in order to protect the health of both humans and the natural resources that we all depend on. Another reason to comply with environmental regulations is to avoid potentially costly penalties associated with non-compliance. environmental regulations may seem confusing and daunting but having a proper understanding of them and how your business affects the environment may actually allow you to save money and be more productive. For example, best management practices (BMPs) will make environmental compliance easier and less costly. Pollution Prevention (P2) is another way to increase compliance while reducing costs. It involves replacing toxic or hazardous products with environment and employee friendly materials, equipment and process modifications to reduce the generation of waste, and improved operations and maintenance (including employee training). This environmental compliance assistance guide is a step-by-step self audit checklist to compliance with South Carolina’s laws and regulations on waste disposal, underground storage tanks, wastewater, storm water, and air pollution. This guide has been developed with the small business in mind. We have tried to make it clear and concise but with enough detail so that many or most of your questions will be answered right here.
