The tasks include providing consultation support, training, site visits, data analysis, and developing technical reports to consolidate findings.
Additionally, the NFE is expected to provide environmental compliance and restoration support by identifying industrial processes where hazardous materials are used, providing minimization recommendations, reducing associated hazardous waste generation, and ensuring compliance with environmental laws and regulations.
The NFE should also provide field assistance and training to installations on identifying hazardous materials and characterization of hazardous waste.
