BUSINESS MEMO: ENVIRONMENTAL TRAINING

Lion Technology Inc., a nationally known environmental training firm, will be in St. Louis Sept. 18 and 19 for a two-day workshop on hazardous waste management.

The Lafayette, N.J.-based firm will conduct the workshop, entitled "Hazardous/Toxic Waste Management -- Mandates, Strategies, Options" at the Embassy Suites in Laclede's Landing.

Annual training in hazardous waste management is required of waste generators by federal law, Lion instructor William Taggart noted. Taggart, a national expert on hazardous waste management, stressed that proper handling and disposal of hazardous wastes has become a top priority throughout the United States.

The workshop will cover federal waste management and classification rules, including key issues such as land disposal restrictions and "waste minimization."

Lion Technology has trained tens of thousands of people in hazardous waste management, hazardous materials transportation and other environmental topics. 1997 workshops on hazardous waste management are being held in more than 50 cities throughout the United States.

People attending the workshop will receive a two-volume "encyclopedia" of hazardous waste management, a valuable tool useful in day-to-day operations.
