Designated UST Operator Program
California Code of Regulations Title 23 Section 2715(a)-(f) mandates each Underground Storage Tank (UST) installation must be assigned a Designated UST Operator to perform monthly inspections, maintain records and perform on-the-job facility employee training.
What are Your Options?
To comply with these regulations, you have two options: train and certify your staff to International Code Council (ICC) accreditation and conduct the designated UST operator duties in-house or contact an ICC-certified consultant to perform designated UST operator tasks.
