LSPA Unveils February Compliance and Safety Tip

The LSPA presented the following compliance tip at the February Membership Meeting held at the Holiday Inn in Taunton, MA on February 13, 2018. 

A situation that meets one of the Conditions of Substantial Release Migration (CSRM) specified at 40.0006 is not a CSRM and therefore not reportable, unless there is another, separate reportable condition at the site (see 40.0313(4)).  
This issue arises frequently with the detection of VOCs in indoor air.  
If indoor VOC concentrations are not an Imminent Hazard and there is no other reportable condition such as VOCs > RCs in groundwater or soil, the presence of VOCs in indoor air is not a CSRM and is not reportable. 
Without a separate reportable condition, there is no guarantee that the source of the VOCs is at the site.  Nonetheless, in the absence of an obvious source, the LSP is wise to look further.

June 12, 2017
The LSPA unveiled the following monthly compliance tip on June 8, 2017 at the LSPA Membership Meeting in Westborough, Massachusetts.

Every three years following issuance of her/his license, an LSP must demonstrate that s/he has earned a minimum of 48 continuing education credits.  Of these, at least 12 of the 48 credits must be earned at LSP Board-approved “DEP Course(s)”.  
 
No fewer than 8 credits must be from LSP Board-approved courses classified as “Regulatory.” The balance of the 48 required credits may be earned by attending any LSP Board-approved course, conference, or conference workshop. 
 309 CMR 3.09(3)(a) and (b)
 
 Three things to remember:
  1. Some “DEP Courses” are also “Regulatory.” 
  2. But not all “Regulatory” courses are also “DEP Course(s).”
  3. If a course is classified as a “DEP Course” and a “Regulatory” course (listed as “DEP Course” Regulatory or DEP/Regulatory), it can be applied toward both the 12-credit “DEP Course” requirement and the 8-credit “Regulatory” requirement.
