Sounds like an excellent idea for a new newsgroup!  I find myself dealing
with these issues more and more and would love a resource in which I could
learn and exchange experience with.  I suggest that if there is sufficient
interest we could put out a RFD.  I'm not sure where such a group would
fit though or what it should be called.  Perhaps it could be put as a
subgroup to sci.materials, for example sci.materials.haz-waste?

I've cross posted this to sci.materials to see if there is any interest.

How about sci.hazmat or sci.materials.hazmat?  Hazmat is the term used 
everywhere else, after all.  As an ex HAZMAT team chief, I'd certainly be 
interested in participating as long as the group was chartered to deal 
with practical matters and where the ravings of the econazis are left at 
the door.

What an excellent idea!  I applaud the concept (although I don't necessarily
agree with this specific application).  I too would like to see a newsgroup
devoted only to my opinion (and to those who agree with me).  We could keep
out all those who disagree with me!  What a great newsgroup!  Kind of like
a segregated country-club, only better!  NO RIFF-RAFF NEED APPLY!
(AND *I* DECIDE WHO ARE THE RIFF-RAFF!!)

How do I start it up?

Let's do it.

My preference starting out - sci.hazwaste

Could then branch off to .soil .water .air  &  .hvymtl .oil .rad etc.

	Just to add my two cents, I also think this newsgroup would be
useful.  We pretty much have a handle on our chemical waste around here
(FINALLY), but such a group would be useful.
