This DiscoverE program has been incorporated into the seventh grade science energy and motion units by teachers Dennis Mangum and Bethany Schooler. As part of the program, students take part in a roller coaster design competition using foam pipe insulation, tape, toothpicks and a marble. Prizes for the competition were donated by Hometown Pizza of LaGrange, Kentucky. The DiscoverE program is part of National Engineer’s Week.

FEATURED PROJECT
PROBLEM
A local company engaged in manufacturing imported a small amount of a chemical substance defined under TSCA. Faced with a potential EPA enforcement action with penalties assessed for noncompliance under TSCA of up to $32,500 per day per violation, the company called SMG for help.
SMG'S APPROACH
SMG analyzed the company’s current TSCA procedures and assisted the company in developing a proactive, cost-effective compliance procedure. SMG also facilitated a training program to educate employees about TSCA.
MG worked with the company to develop mechanisms that assured adherence with the policies that were being implemented for compliance. Procedures to promptly correct any potential violations and prevent future violations were also put into place.
RESULTS
SMG was able to show that the company complied with the relevant TSCA regulations and was improving their TSCA policies and procedures to assure that future issues were less likely to occur. The company was not subjected to the proposed penalties and now has mechanisms in place to maintain TSCA compliance.
