Non-regulatory technical assistance in pollution prevention to business, industry and governmental agencies in Florida is one method of assistance. This includes on-site technical assistance and the Pollution Prevention Resource Center . The on-site technical assistance visit is the traditional method of providing assistance to industry and business. The retired engineers component of the program provides greater reach for these visits. The Pollution Prevention Resource Center provides a wealth of information about pollution prevention for many different industries.
Regulatory integration is another way of increasing the use of pollution prevention.
To this end, the program has been assisting the compliance staff within DEP with pollution prevention projects in enforcement , permit conditions and compliance assistance efforts. Training sessions for local governments are one example of the ways the program is diversifying services. The training provides compliance assistance staff with additional tools to help businesses and the environment benefit from pollution prevention options. The soon to be published newsletter, P2 Links will provide a forum for the various pollution prevention programs throughout the state. Contact us for more information.
