Update from today... Asked the demo company for a the EPA's Waste Locate Consignment # and they declined to provide it. I think the fact that they wont provide the Waste Locate Consignment # is quite telling. The EPA themselves clarified that this # would clear up any confusion. did you end up payi...
did you end up paying them or how did it go ?
