Join IDEM Compliance & Technical Assistance staff for the next E101:

Information on the most recent E101 (Potential to Emit) will be posted soon!

What is E101?

E101 is a free training series offered by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) Compliance and Technical Assistance Program (CTAP) staff designed to educate individuals in charge of managing environmental responsibilities at Indiana businesses but are open to anyone interested in the subject matter. The goals of this training series are to assist environmental managers in understanding current state and federal environmental regulations, determine how the regulations apply to Indiana businesses, and demonstrate how to implement practices that strengthen environmental compliance and sustainability efforts.

To date, a number of E101 events have been conducted on topics of Air, Land and Water. Below, you will find the topics addressed, accompanied by presentation slides and manuals, and most recently, recorded video of the training sessions.

The information in these modules has recently been reviewed and edited to incorporate regulatory changes; however, as regulations continue to change, portions of the training materials may get outdated. For specific questions, it is always recommended to consult the Indiana Code (IC), the Indiana Administrative Code (IAC) or to contact the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) specific program areas. CTAP will make note of any regulatory changes that occur between versions and provide that information separately until such time the module is edited again.
