Curtain Side Trailer Package!?! Normally the “Radioactive–SCO” marking required in 49 CFR 173.427(a)(6)(vi) is placed on the outside of the package (or unpackaged object). So, can a curtain side style trailer be a package? Normally the “Radioactive–SCO” marking required in 49 CFR 173.427(a)(6)(vi) is placed on the outside of the package (or unpackaged object). So, can a curtain side style trailer be a package? Could this trailer meet the packaging closure and leakproof requirements for general design listed in 49 CFR 173.410 (including 173.24, 173.24a, 173.24b as applicable)? On another note, can you identify anything missing? … Are placards required for an exclusive use SCO shipment? Should those placards be visible on the outside of the conveyance? … Hopefully you said “yes” to placarding as required in 49 CFR 173.427(a)(6)(v) & 172 Subpart F. “These articles are presented for informational purposes only.

< Back Infrastructure Upgrades Oct 12, 2022 Striving for Continuous Improvement As cybersecurity threats evolve, and in an effort to continuously improve performance and capabilities, we routinely evaluate and upgrade the environment that powers RADMAN™, FME Guardian™, REACh™ and all of our other software products. In late October, we will be migrating all services, websites, and databases to new equipment. The new servers will increase processor core/thread density, increase SSD-RAID storage pools, update operating systems, and add support for stronger, FIPS Compliant encryption as recommended by NIST-800 Rev2. An approximately four-hour window will be planned during off-hours for the transition period. We do not expect any disruption of service, and certainly do not expect the transition to take that long; however, for planning purposes, please note the migration timeframe that will be communicated. This upgrade significantly adds to our backup and recovery capability, quadrupling our total backup pool, allowing years of hourly backups before storage capacity becomes a concern. In addition, new, more powerful processing servers allow us to move more of the intensive functions of RADMAN™, and the planned Reporting Portal into the cloud for better performance and faster calculations. The added performance, storage, monitoring and security capabilities of the new infrastructure will allow us to focus on building a strong platform for RADMAN™ 10 and all of our future software products. Once we have completed the coordination and scheduling, a detailed notification will be distributed to all RADMAN ™ Users. Previous Next

Through ongoing collaboration with industry leaders and operational insights, we've enhanced our liners to minimize failure rates, enhance quality, and deliver notable savings in time, dose, and costs. Trust WMG for innovative solutions that optimize your dewatering processes with unmatched reliability and efficiency. Revolutionizing Efficiency and Quality At WMG, we continuously strive for excellence in engineering design and fabrication. Our newly upgraded dewatering liner incorporates a range of key improvements, inspired by valuable feedback from operations, as well as insights from leading filter suppliers and liner fabricators. With these enhancements, we are proud to offer a solution that significantly reduces failure rates, improves quality, and delivers substantial savings in time, dose, and money. Experience the next generation of dewatering liners with WMG. Our commitment to excellence shines through in every aspect of our product, delivering exceptional performance, increased efficiency, and unparalleled quality. Contact us today to learn more and witness the transformative power of our enhanced dewatering liner technology. Discover the remarkable features of WMG's Dewatering Liners Play Dewatering Liners Customizable for Compatibility We provide liners that can be easily configured to accept a grapple ring compatible with your plant's existing remote grapple. This customizable feature allows for effortless adaptation to your specific requirements. Seamless Integration Our fill-plate is meticulously designed to seamlessly mate with your plant's existing fill-head. With a softer main gasket seal durometer, we ensure an improved seal between the liner and the fill-head. This advanced design guarantees a hassle-free integration process. Efficient Dewatering System Our liners are equipped with a proven internal filter dewatering system. By leveraging your existing fill-heads and dewatering systems, this industry-leading technology ensures efficient dewatering processes. Maximized Surface Area The strategically sized filters in our liners take full advantage of the distance from the center line tree assembly to the outermost edge. This innovative design increases the available dewatering surface area by over 35%, reducing the time required to dewater each liner. Remarkably, this improvement comes with a minimal loss in usable internal volume of less than one cubic foot. Streamlined Fabrication Each individual filter comes with a factory-sealed end cap, coupled with our single filter design. This eliminates the need for most hand-seals during fabrication, significantly reducing the number of potential leak points by over 50%. Superior Durability The rigid internal filter support system minimizes filter movement during transport, handling, and loading. This ensures a significant reduction in liner failure rates, enhancing the overall reliability and longevity of our liners. Stringent Quality Control Our improved filter design allows for the establishment of major filter seal points outside the liner before installation. This unique approach enables a comprehensive inspection of each seal point, ensuring flawless execution. Additionally, our fabrication process includes constant oversight inspection during the installation of the filter internals. Each completed liner undergoes a thorough quality inspection before it is released for shipment from our trusted fabricator.

New EPA Requirement in 2025 for all LQGs & SQGs Check out the new EPA requirements for 2025! Beginning January 22, 2025, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is requiring all Large and Small Quantity Generators (LQGs and SQGs) to register and maintain an account in RCRAInfo to meet the new regulatory changes made by the e-Manifest Third Final Rule . This new EPA registration requirement ensures all small and large quantity hazardous waste generators can access e-Manifest to obtain their final signed manifest copies from the system. For more instructions on how to register visit the e-Manifest User Registration webpage For a list of LQGs and SQGs without a Site Manager or Certifier, please visit the e-Manifest Third Rule Compliance Check to download the list For more information on EPA’s Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest System (e-Manifest) visit the e-Manifest webpage Also beginning January 22, 2025, the EPA is requiring the use of a new 4-copy (four page) hazardous waste manifest (EPA Form 8700-22) and continuation sheet (EPA Form 8700-22A). EPA has changed the manifest forms, manifest instructions, and the hazardous waste manifest requirements corresponding to completion of the manifest forms for international shipments. Generators may continue to use the obsolete 5-copy (five page) manifest forms until December 01, 2025. Page 3 (“Designated Facility” Copy) has been removed from the 5-copy manifest, since generators will no longer receive a final signed paper copy mailed back to them. They must retrieve the completed manifest in their registered account in e-Manifest. The new four-copy manifest form will be as follows: Page 1: “Designated facility or U.S. exporter to the EPA's e-Manifest system” (top copy) Page 2: “Designated facility to generator” (e.g. Polychlorinated Biphenyls “PCBs” shipments) Page 3: “Transporter copy” Page 4: “Generator's initial copy” (bottom copy) Previous Next
