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.

Much better than my previous class with another company. The Lion instructor made sense, kept me awake and made me laugh!

Marti Severs

Enterprise Safety Manager

The instructor did an excellent job presenting a very dry subject; keeping everyone interested and making it enjoyable.

Marc Bugg

Hazardous Waste Professional

Lion is easily and consistently the best option for compliance training. I've learned new information from every instructor I've had.

Rachel Mathis

EHS Specialist

If I need thorough training or updating, I always use Lion. Lion is always the best in both instruction and materials.

Bryce Parker

EHS Manager

I have been to other training companies, but Lion’s material is much better and easier to understand.

Mark Abell

Regional Manager

As always, Lion never disappoints

Paul Resley

Environmental Coordinator

My experience with Lion training, both online and in the classroom, is that they are far better organized and provide a better sequential explanation of the material.

Robert Roose

Manager, Dangerous Goods Transportation

Best course instructor I've ever had. Funny, relatable, engaging; made it interesting and challenged us as the professionals we are.

Amanda Schwartz

Environmental Coordinator

Given the choice, I would do all coursework this way. In-person courses go very fast without the opportunity to pause or repeat anything.

Ellen Pelton

Chemical Laboratory Manager

I used the IT support number available and my issue was resolved within a few minutes. I don't see anything that could have made it better.
