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

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

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

Director of Safety & Env Affairs

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!

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

I can't say enough how pleased I was with this course! Everything finally makes sense.

My experience with Lion classes has always been good. Lion Technology always covers the EPA requirements I must follow.

Convenient; I can train when I want, where I want.
