Climate Adaptation in PCB Approvals

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery (ORCR) is hosting an internal EPA training on integrating climate change adaptation into the PCB approval process. The training will: 
  • Outline EPA’s approach on when/how to consider potential adverse climate and natural disaster impacts in the PCB cleanup, storage, treatment, and/or disposal approval process
  • Advance understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks for considering resilience, including the need for a climate and disaster vulnerability screening and/or assessment
  • Explore practical tools and case studies for conducting climate and disaster vulnerability screening screenings/assessments and enhancing the resilience of PCB sites/facilities
  • Identify resilience strategies which seek to provide long-term resilience to potential adverse climate and natural disaster risks into the future
 
This virtual event will feature case studies and interactive activities to help participants engage with best practices for building climate resilience in PCB cleanup approvals and through the PCBs permitting process, and share their experiences managing sites that face climate and natural disaster risks.
