The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) encourages Indiana regulated entities to apply for the Environmental Stewardship Program (ESP). Each member is recognized as one of Indiana’s top environmental leaders and may receive regulatory benefits, such as reduced reporting or advanced notice for compliance inspections. If you are already a member of ESP, please forward this message to other nonmember organizations that may be interested.

Applications are accepted now through November 30, 2020
Any regulated entity in Indiana may apply regardless of type, size, or complexity. To qualify for ESP, applicants must demonstrate a standard of environmental compliance; implement and maintain an environmental management system (EMS); and be committed to continuous environmental improvement.

ESP is a voluntary, performance based leadership program designed to recognize and reward Indiana regulated entities for going above and beyond current environmental regulations. In return for exemplary environmental performance, members can receive program incentives including regulatory flexibility, recognition, and networking opportunities. Program standards are outlined in 326 IAC 25-1, 327 IAC 18-1, and 329 IAC 18-1.

To apply for ESP, please follow these steps:

  1. Verify that the organization’s compliance history is accurately represented on U.S. EPA’s ECHO database.
  2. For confidential assistance with an environmental compliance or regulatory question, contact IDEM’s Compliance & Technical Assistance Program (CTAP) at 800-988-7901.
  3. Ensure that the organization’s environmental management system meets the guidelines of the program by completing the EMS Checklist [PDF].
  4. Conduct an independent audit of the organization’s Environmental Management System.
  5. Review the ESP Application Instructions [PDF].
  6. Reference the Environmental Performance Table [PDF].
  7. Submit an ESP Application to the ESP Program Manager at esp@idem.IN.gov by November 30, 2020.

Application review process takes approximately 90 days: 

  • Days 1-30: IDEM completes the administrative review and does an environmental compliance check within the last three years.
  • Days 31-60: The ESP program manager will conduct a site visit to tour the facility and review the Environmental Management System. In addition, an IDEM CTAP staff member will be present to discuss any regulatory requirements. Notes and information gathered while at this visit are not confidential under the CTAP confidentiality clause. For confidential assistance, contact IDEM’s Compliance & Technical Assistance Program at 800-988-7901 for confidential assistance with an environmental compliance or regulatory question before applying to ESP.
  • Days 61-90: IDEM senior management reviews the application. Upon approval, IDEM’s Commissioner signs the acceptance letter and certificate. The certificate can be mailed or presented in an onsite ceremony after acceptance, depending on the company’s preference. The organization will also be invited to request environmental regulatory incentives upon acceptance into the program.

Responsibilities of ESP Members:
ESP Members must maintain a standard of environmental compliance; an EMS; and continue implementing environmental improvement projects. IDEM requires that members submit an annual performance report (APR), available on the IDEM Forms page, due April 1.

AG Curtis Hill Supports Nomination Of Amy Coney Barrett To U.S. Supreme Court

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill today urged the U.S. Senate in a letter to immediately hold a hearing and confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“Judge Barrett is a distinguished legal scholar and an exceptional appellate judge with a track record of interpreting the Constitution according to its text and original public meaning,” states the letter, signed by 22 state attorneys general. “As we are sure your review of her exemplary record will reveal, she has the qualifications, experience, and judicial philosophy to be an outstanding Associate Justice.”

The Senate will need little time to conclude that Judge Barrett will make a first-rate Associate Justice due to her “unwavering commitment to a judicial philosophy that prioritizes restraint, humility, and respect for the rule of law,” the letter states.

Judge Barrett is a graduate of Notre Dame Law School, where she also has taught while residing with her family in South Bend.

“As Hoosiers, we have watched Judge Barrett’s excellent work and become proud of her well-deserved national prominence,” Attorney General Hill said. “She possesses an unparalleled legal acumen and a well-grounded measure of common sense — a valuable combination that will serve her well when she joins the nation’s highest court.”

The attorneys general express agreement in the letter that Judge Barrett’s exemplary record demonstrates that she has the experience, qualifications and judicial philosophy required to be an outstanding Associate Justice. They note that Judge Barrett graduated at the top of her law school class, clerked for the late Justice Antonin Scalia and has served with distinction on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals since 2017. They also recognize that Judge Barrett is widely considered an expert on constitutional law and a prolific scholar. Additionally, they identify how history and precedent show that the Senate has ample time to review and consider Judge Barrett’s qualifications before voting to confirm her this term.

In the letter, the attorneys general state that, in addition to Judge Barrett’s qualifications, her commitment to defending the rule of law makes her exceptionally fit to serve on the Supreme Court. As attorneys general whose duty it is to protect the principles of federalism, they express confidence that Judge Barrett is the right choice. They agree that her stated views of the law and opinions from the bench show clearly that she will safeguard the Constitution. Therefore, the attorneys general conclude, the Senate must immediately fulfill its constitutional duty and promptly confirm Judge Barrett.

Trump, First Lady Test Positive For Covid-19 Virus

Trump, First Lady Test Positive For Covid-19

The announcement comes shortly after the president said he and the first lady were in the “quarantine process” following senior aide Hope Hicks’ positive test.
By Dartunorro Clark

 

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for the coronavirus, he announced on Twitter early Friday.

“Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!” he tweeted.

The president will continue to work from the residence of the White House and a scheduled rally in Orlando, Florida, was canceled.

Hope Hicks, one of the president’s closest senior advisers, tested positive for the virus on Thursday, making her the highest-profile member of the administration to contract the virus who is in frequent contact with Trump and other top officials.

Trump, 74, told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday after Hicks’ positive test that he and the first lady, 50, were tested after Hicks tested positive and later tweeted they were starting the “quarantine process.”

The president has held campaign rallies around the country for months, many of which are outdoors but some have been indoors. The most recent one was Wednesday night in Minnesota and he also traveled to New Jersey on Thursday for a fundraiser.

Hicks along with several top White House and campaign advisers traveled with the president to Cleveland for Tuesday’s debate against Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

The president has drawn sharp criticism for his handling of the pandemic and downplaying its threat.

Also, his administration has sowed confusion over wearing a mask to slow the spread of Covid-19 and public health experts have said this mixed messaging hampered the country’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and even led to preventable deaths.

After months of public criticism, the president tweeted a photo of himself wearing a mask, writing in July, “many people say that it is Patriotic to wear a face mask when you can’t socially distance.” Then in August, Trump urged Americans to cover their faces in public as a “patriotic” thing to do.

The president has insisted he “didn’t lie” to the American public about the severity of coronavirus, despite having told veteran journalist Bob Woodward in March that he’d been intentionally downplaying the virus’s potential impact.

“What I said is we have to be calm. We can’t be panicked,” Trump told reporters in September after being pressed on his coronavirus response.

After a Trump rally in Tulsa in June, former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain tested positive for the virus and later died. At that same rally, roughly eight White House staffers, including Secret Service personnel, tested positive for the virus. One of President Trump’s personal valets, who works in the West Wing serving the president his meals, among other duties, tested positive for the coronavirus in May.

U.S. health officials continue to monitor for coronavirus cases in the United States. As of Oct. 1, more than 7 million cases have been confirmed in the U.S., based on NBC News’ count. There have been more than 205,000 deaths.
