As we’ve embarked on a new year, it’s crucial for organizations to stay compliant with various annual environmental reporting requirements. These regulations safeguard public health, protect the environment, and maintain operational transparency. Staying on top of these deadlines helps ensure compliance and avoid costly penalties.

ONE Environmental Group is here to help you navigate these obligations effectively. Below is a quick reminder of key reporting deadlines to add to your calendar:

EPA e-Manifest Reminder

Speaking of the EPA, keep in mind that starting January 22, 2025, the EPA is implementing new requirements for Small Quantity Generators (SQGs) and Large Quantity Generators (LQGs). At least one user at your site must have e-Manifest certifier or site manager registration access to comply with these changes. This mandatory account registration ensures all generators can access final signed manifest copies through the EPA’s e-Manifest system.
