Course Description:
Delivery Method: Classroom Lecture & Exercises
Intended Audience: This course is intended for Regulators, Auditors or those in the field with a need for detailed knowledge of regulatory requirements and issues involving PCBs.
Course Description: This comprehensive course provides in-depth instruction on requirements of the TSCA PCB regulations. Special emphasis is placed on current and complex issues associated with PCBs. Regulatory issues associated with remediation of contaminated environmental media and structures, and the management of associated wastes, will be reviewed. Similarly, issues associated with deactivation and decommissioning of facilities and equipment will be examined, including those involving radioactive facilities. The course will address the effective use of risk-based approvals for management of PCB remediation wastes and PCB bulk product wastes. Special difficulties under the current regulation will be discussed, e.g., the unauthorized status of Non-Liquid PCBs such as PCB-containing caulking and paints, and the difficulties associated with their removal. Other topics to be addressed include issues associated with long-term storage and integrating TSCA/RCRA's requirements with those of other regulations. Recommendations and tips will be provided for use by representatives from regulatory agencies and from regulated facilities. Recent enforcement actions of note will also be discussed.
