CERCLA

  • Course Prescription

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), sometimes known as the Superfund Law, was enacted by Congress on December 11, 1980. By imposing a levy on the chemical and petroleum industries, this law gave the federal government extensive authority to respond immediately to discharges or threatened releases of hazardous substances that could be harmful to human health or the environment.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA):

  • Defined restrictions and mandated conditions for dormant hazardous waste sites;
  • Specified penalties for polluters at these facilities; and
  • Created a fund to pay for cleanup if the responsible party could not be located.

Two types of response actions were authorized by the law:

  • Short-term removals
  • Long-term remedial response actions

This training program gives a detailed insight into CERCLA regulations by training participants on essential aspects of the law through a comprehensive module-based course.
