Course Description: The objective of this course is to teach environmental professionals fundamental concepts of environmental law applicable to their work. With an understanding of general legal concepts and specific statutory, regulatory and decisional case law, LSPs and other environmental professionals will obtain a better understanding of their role within the MCP, Chapter 21E and the legal framework under which both MassDEP and private parties work toward the efficient clean-up of sites.
The attorney-instructors will provide a summary of environmental laws that environmental professionals may encounter when dealing with waste sites. These include:
- Overview of Chapter 21E, including Legal Reporting Obligations
- Waste Water Discharge in Massachusetts
- Wetlands Protection Act and Regulations
- Monitoring Wells
- Asbestos Abatement and Disposal
- Massachusetts Solid Waste Regulations
- Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
- RCRA and G.L. c. 21C
- PFAS
There will be ample time for questions so that the specific application of law to the environmental professionals' experiences is addressed and explained.
