KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — New clean air regulations for Tennessee’s small businesses will be the topic of a free seminar presented in March by the University of Tennessee Center for Industrial Service.
Owners and operators of printers, dry cleaners, small manufacturing plants, metal working and finishing operations, painting and other small businesses can learn what impact 1997 Clean Air Act amendments will have on their companies and what resources are available to them.
Risk management and small business compliance guidelines also will be discussed.
Anyone may attend, but the workshop will be most helpful to businesses with fewer than 100 employees that emit less than 50 tons per year of a single pollutant and not more than 75 tons per year of all regulated pollutants.
The seminar will be held in the following locations, beginning at 8 a.m.:
* Kingsport — March 4, East Tennessee State University-University of Tennessee at Kingsport, Room 234, 1501 University Blvd.
