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.

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.

Lion's online training is more comprehensive, has better slides, and is a superior training experience than what I would get from other trainers.

Robert Brenner

The exercises in the DOT hazardous materials management course are especially helpful in evaluating your understanding of course information.

These are the best classes I attend each year. I always take something away and implement improvements at my sites.
