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 instructor had knowledge of regulations and understanding of real-world situations. The presentation style was engaging and fostered a positive atmosphere for information sharing.

Well designed and thorough program. Excellent summary of requirements with references. Inclusion of regulations in hard copy form, as well as full electronic with state pertinent regulations included is a great bonus!

Oscar Fisher

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

District Environmental Manager

The course is well thought out and organized in a way that leads to a clearer understanding of the total training.

David Baily

Hazmat Shipping Professional

I have over 26 years of environmental compliance experience, and it has been some time since I have attended an environmental regulations workshop. I attended this course as preparation for EHS Audits for my six plants, and it was exactly what I was looking for.

Frank Sizemore

Director of Regulatory Affairs

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.

Neil Luciano

EHS Manager

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

Best instructor ever! I was going to take my DOT training w/a different provider, but based on this presentation, I will also be doing my DOT training w/Lion!

Donna Moot

Hazardous Waste Professional

Lion's training was by far the best online RCRA training I've ever taken. It was challenging and the layout was great!

Paul Harbison

Hazardous Waste Professional

Lion is at the top of the industry in compliance training. Course content and structure are updated frequently to make annual re-training enjoyable. I like that Lion has experts that I can contact for 1 year after the training.
