This course has been approved for 2.0 DEP Regulatory continuing education credits (#1648). This course is being offered online only.   

Course Description: 
This two-hour course will provide LSPs with a comprehensive overview of MCP regulations (310 CMR 40.0000) and other considerations that need to be taken into account when working at construction sites in contaminated or potentially contaminated areas. The course begins with an overview of some of the situations that can occur during construction activities at contaminated sites, including exposures that could potentially impact human health, and potential liability issues related to exacerbating contaminant conditions or managing contaminated media. The course addresses where the MCP may apply during construction activities. It outlines considerations should an LSP encounter contamination, including whether such contamination must be addressed using one of the MCP regulatory vehicles. Three case studies are provided to illustrate construction activities and relevant MCP requirements. The case studies describe findings from MassDEP audits or other investigations, and identify what went wrong, and how it was or could be corrected. Special emphasis is placed throughout the course on consideration of potential TCE contamination.

Once the user has finished the course, s/he will be required to successfully complete a short quiz, after which a CEU form will be emailed to the user. The online course also offers a resource section which allows you to download the course slides for future reference.
