Intended Audience:
DOE, contractors or
commercial employees new to the field of waste management environmental
compliance, or environmental restoration, employees who may need an update on
recent changes in environmental laws or regulations, employees with detailed
knowledge of some environmental laws and regulations who need an understanding
of the full breadth of these laws and regulations, or any employee who needs an
overall understanding of the environmental laws and regulations governing DOE
activities.
Course Description:
This 3-day course focuses on the environmental laws
and regulations as they apply to DOE environmental management programs. Using
examples from the DOE sites, the course addresses challenges such as: high
level waste storage in tanks and treatment for disposal; transuranic waste
characterization and disposal; low level waste disposal; mixed low level waste
treatment, storage, and disposal; environmental compliance associated with
operational facilities or restart issues; the repository program;
decommissioning activities; and material transportation.
Through presentation of the historical aspects of
DOE environmental management activities, students gain an understanding of how
DOE's challenges (contaminated sites and facilities, stored waste inventories,
etc.) evolved, and how they are addressed. Information is provided through
lecture, discussion, breakout groups, and videos. Students also receive a
detailed manual suitable for future use as a handy reference.
Significant time is spent on the Atomic Energy Act,
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA), and the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) including case studies and breakaway
groups to enable students to explore these laws and their impact on the EM
program in depth.
The remainder of the class discusses a number of
additional laws and regulations (such as the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air
Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act,
and many more) at a sufficient detail to enable students to become familiar
with the requirements and recognize when they should seek additional expertise
within their organization.
Laws and regulations
covered in this class are: AEA, NEPA, RCRA, FFCA, CERCLA, CWA, CAA, OSHA, SDWA,
TSCA, HMTA, PAAA, EPCRA, NWPA. A comprehensive exam (open book) measures the
students comprehension and understanding of the material presented.
