UST Operator Training Update


Subscribe to Fuel & Chem. News
 

Last year the EPA released the final underground storage tank (UST) operator training grant guidelines for states, which implement a key provision of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. However many retail fueling station and fleet fueling operators are still unaware of the upcoming training requirements.  The operator training guidelines describe the minimum requirements states must meet in order to comply with the operator training provision contained in the Energy Policy Act.

The guidelines establish three distinct classes of UST operators, describe how and when states will implement the guidelines, and discuss when operators must be trained. The guidelines include:

  1. A description of the classes of operators, required training for each class of operator

  2. Deadlines when operator training is required

  3. Examples of acceptable state approaches to operator training.

In order for states to comply with these requirements, they must develop state-specific operator training requirements by August 8, 2009, and ensure that all three classes of operators are trained according to state-specific requirements by August 8, 2012.

EPA worked with states, regional tank offices, and other stakeholders to develop the operator training grant guidelines. EPA provides funding to states through grants, which provide resources to help states regulate USTs and implement the UST program.
