Removal Process
Offered by U.S. EPA
Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation
|
The Removal Process Course, a 32 hour intermediate-level training course, provides On-Scene Coordinators (OSC) with fundamental information and practical knowledge they need to effectively plan and conduct removal actions in response to releases of hazardous substances under the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) and discharges of oil under the Clean Water Act (CWA). The Removal Process Course is structured to follow the framework of the NCP. By taking the course, participants will achieve the following objectives:
- Learn to carry out the step-by-step process of conducting a removal action. The course follows the chain of events from site discovery to completion of the removal action, demonstrating how the enforcement process is integrated into various phases of the removal process.
- Understand the authorities and limitations of an OSC during a removal action. The course provides a comprehensive review of statutory and regulatory requirements, including an overview of response authority, requirements for public participation, and regulations governing contracting services.
- Strengthen their ability to use the Incident Command System/Unified Command (ICS/UC) effectively and learn the roles and responsibilities of an OSC during emergency responses to releases of hazardous substances. The course examines the organization of the ICS/UC and provides a thorough discussion of the planning and support functions.
- Use their newly developed knowledge and skills to solve real-life problems. Participants are challenged to apply the information and knowledge acquired during the course to realistic exercises and case studies and will be presented with tools and resources available to the OSC.
The course is designed primarily to equip OSCs with the information they need to plan and conduct removal actions and emergency responses. Other environmental professionals, such as Remedial Project Managers, Site Assessment Managers, and state or local emergency response personnel, also may benefit from the course.
The Fundamentals of Superfund Course is a prerequisite for EPA employees who would like to attend the Removal Process Course. This course is NOT open to contractors.
*This course is offered free of charge to all registrants who are confirmed to attend.*
