A January 27th post provided an update on the ongoing Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality reorganization http://www.mitchellwilliamslaw.com/arkansas-department-of-environmental-quality-reorganization-update.
The post described the fact that inspectors from the Regulated Storage Tank, Solid Waste, hazardous Waste and Mining Divisions would be consolidated in a Compliance Group in the Office of Land Resources.
Information I received yesterday warrants a clarification/correction of one aspect of the post.
For clarification purposes, although all of the Office of Land Resources inspectors will now be housed within the new “Compliance Program” group, they will retain the same job duties specific to their assigned media. In other words, the inspectors are NOT going to be multi-media but remain media-specific, i.e., RST inspectors will still inspect RST facilities, Solid Waste inspectors will still perform solid waste facility inspections, etc.
