What is a contaminated site?

The HAZWOPER Standard applies to cleanup of hazardous substances at locations specifically designated as "uncontrolled hazardous waste sites." These include:

Government-priority Cleanup Sites

Cleanup sites covered under the HAZWOPER Standard include:

Sites on EPA’s National Priority Site List or NPL (i.e., Superfund Sites),
Sites recommended for the NPL,
Sites on State priority lists, and
Sites under investigation for potential contamination.

RCRA Corrective Actions

Facilities that store, treat, and dispose of hazardous waste in the United States must comply with the regulations that implement the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA).

The law, as amended, authorizes US EPA and State agencies to order the investigation and cleanup of any contamination as part of the permitting process. Sites can also enter EPA's Hazardous Waste Cleanup Program following a release of hazardous waste or hazardous constituents.

Voluntary Cleanup

The HAZWOPER Standard applies to voluntary cleanup efforts at any site recognized by a Federal, state, local, or other governmental body as an “uncontrolled hazardous waste site.”

If unsure about the applicability of HAZWOPER to a specific voluntary cleanup activity, the owner of the site or the cleanup organizers should consult with relevant agencies to get confirmation.

Very well structured, comprehensive, and comparable to live training seminars I've participated in previously. I will recommend the online course to other colleagues with training requirement needs.

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

The course was very informative and presented in a way that was easily understood and remembered. I would recommend this course.

I really enjoyed this training. Even after years on both sides of the comprehension coin, I find myself still learning! The quality of the delivery exceeded much of the training I have received in the past.
