RESOURCE CONSERVATION PLANNING BASICS (DAY 1)
Resource Conservation Planning Basics – Day One: Applying TUR Methods to Resource Conservation Planning -
May 6, 2008, Forefront Center for Meetings & Conferences, Waltham, MA
This day-long workshop will familiarize planners with the objectives, methods and requirements of Resource Conservation (RC) Planning options available under the new 2006 TURA Amendments. This course will fulfill six of the 12 credits required in order to certify a RC Plan. The other 6 credits may be in any asset area of resource conservation. TURI and OTA will be offering additional technical sessions on the various asset area options, e.g., energy conservation, throughout the year. Planners who are interested in certifying RC plans, should seriously consider attending this training. This course is a very specific CE area for RC planning, and while this won’t be the only opportunity, there will likely only be a few.

The Toxics Use Reduction Act Amendments of 2006 represents the first major overhaul of the Toxics Use Reduction Act (TURA) since it was enacted in 1989. The amendments build on the TUR program’s success by focusing attention on reducing the use of higher hazard chemicals, encouraging businesses to increase environmental performance through resource conservation plans and environmental management systems, and streamlining reporting and planning requirements. This training is designed to meet the TUR Planner continuing education requirements for resource conservation planning.
