In "Managing Risk in the Construction Industry through Environmental Compliance," author Jerome S. Arcaro calls upon twenty-two years of experience, serving as an environmental compliance project manager for the US Navy, to bring construction industry professionals a how-to guide for managing risk and ensuring environmental compliance in a variety of construction situations. Field workers can carry this slim, portable volume with them on-site, to check off the recommended Best Management Practices (BMPs) for any one of more than a dozen common construction situations where environmental compliance must be maintained in order to avoid project delays, violation penalties and fines, and other project complications. Based on the current primary laws and federal regulatory requirements governing environmental compliance in the construction industry, the checklists include tips and tools for: - Boardroom discussions - Dust control - Erosion prevention - Litter control - Runoff control and conveyance - Sediment control - Protection of trees - Preparing for an environmental inspection - Analyzing the effects of environmental legislation on the construction project - Responding to a Notice of Violation - Handling the project team - Spill prevention and control - Vehicle and equipment washing - Waste management Also included is a glossary of more than 150 commonly used industry acronyms, which field workers can use to better communicate with other industry professionals and agencies in the regulatory community.
