Cal EPA Statement on COVID-19 and Environmental Compliance

Posted on 4/20/2020 by Roger Marks

On April 15, California’s Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) released a “Statement on Compliance with Regulatory Requirements During the COVID-19 Emergency.”

From the statement:

“CalEPA will fill enforcement gaps left by US EPA’s decision to reduce environmental oversight. We will also maintain our capacity to respond to emergencies.”

Regarding exceptions to or extensions of compliance requirements and deadlines, CalEPA says:

“Specific time-delimited remedies, such as extension of deadlines, may be warranted under clearly articulated circumstances, but regulatory entities that cannot meet a specific regulatory requirement due to emergency government directives or a specific hardship must contact the appropriate CalEPA board, department or office before falling out of compliance."

The training was impressive. I am not a fan of online training but this was put together very well. I would recommend Lion to others.

I can take what I learned in this workshop and apply it to everyday work and relate it to my activities.

Lion courses always set the bar for content, reference, and practical application. Membership and access to the experts is an added bonus.

Our instructor was very dynamic and kept everyone's interest. Hazmat shipping can be a dry, complicated topic but I was engaged the entire time.

I like Lion's workshops the best because they really dig into the information you need to have when you leave the workshop.

The workshop covered a lot of information without being too overwhelming. Lion is much better, more comprehensive than other training providers.

I have attended other training providers, but Lion is best. Lion is king of the hazmat jungle!!!

The instructor took a rather drab set of topics and brought them to life with realistic real-life examples.
