Review the case study and respond to the proceeding questions.

3.10.1 Case Study

Company ABC is responsible for a construction project that involves constructing a large warehouse building that includes installation of underground electrical utilities, a sanitary sewer system that connects to the local POTW and a large parking lot with storm drains. The building will require a special external metallic epoxy

coating that results in a leftover residue that requires disposal as waste.

1. As the manager responsible for environmental compliance for this project, what environmental regulations need to be considered for applicability?
2. What resources might you use to assist in determining regulatory applicability?
3. Describe why you think specific regulations apply to this project.
4. For each regulation that is applicable, describe how you would determine the appropriate regulatory agency.
