The Season is Shifting ….

 

Just as surely as the weather seasons change, so do the seasons of work, research, and academics that are uniquely part of campus life.  The rhythm of environmental compliance is no different and as the first calendar quarter ends, midterms are completed, and Spring Break is enjoyed the Environmental Quality Management Department staff are wrapping up various mandatory reporting obligations to local, state, and federal regulatory agencies.  Such is the season for regulatory reporting as all the major programmatic areas for which the department is responsible including air quality, water quality and waste management have some form of first-quarter reporting obligation – most very detailed and extensive in their scope. So, if EQM staff contacts you in need of vital reporting information, please partner with them as they move the University through this seasonal process.
