CCAR-GreenLink Features Updated EPA Guidebook for Auto Repair
CCAR-GreenLink, the National Environmental Compliance Assistance Center for Auto Repair, has updated its information to feature the newly-revised “Consolidated Screening Checklist for Automotive Repair Facilities Guidebook” that has been published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).The guidebook is now available in electronic format on the “CCAR-GreenLink” web site at www.ccar-greenlink.org.
Operated by the Coordinating Committee For Automotive Repair [CCAR] in cooperation with the EPA, CCAR-GreenLink is recognized as a leading source of environmental compliance and pollution prevention information for the automotive industry.
The “Consolidated Screening Checklist for Automotive Repair Facilities Guidebook” was developed by the EPA as a public service to the automotive service and repair industry. The checklist and guidebook highlight important or key environmental requirements for automotive repair operations as they apply to the various federal environmental programs.
Since the guidebook was first published in 1997, EPA has revised several environmental regulations applicable to the automotive service and repair industry, according to Sean Ochester, Environmental Specialist for CCAR-GreenLink.
“The information on motor vehicle air conditioning has been expanded to cover retrofits and alternative refrigerants,” said Ochester.
“There is also new information on (more) the Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) program, Class V wells and used oil storage, among other updated topics.”
The guidebook is also featured in “Virtual Auto Repair Shop” on the CCAR-GreenLink web site, where users may click on an image in the shop illustration to access an index page of available information.
Established in 1994, CCAR is a national not-for-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the professionalism and image of automotive technicians. CCAR’s more than 200 affiliates represent all segments of the automotive service and collision repair industry, including vehicle manufacturers and dealers, national automotive chains and local repair shops, and colleges and universities that offer training in automotive service and collision repair.
