Dear UST Customer:

As you may already be aware, the state of California has made changes to the California Code of Regulations, title 23 (23CCR) which will impact the way you inspect your underground storage tanks (UST) today. This change will be effective January 1, 2005.

The regulation states the following:

No later than January 1, 2005, UST owner or operators must submit a signed statement for each facility that they own to their local agency which states the following:

• The UST owner or designated operator understands and is in compliance with all UST requirements.
• Identifies the "Designated UST Operator" for each facility.

The regulation also clearly identifies the need for the "designated UST Operator" to obtain a "California UST Operator" certificate issued by the International Code Council (ICC). This certificate can only be obtained by passing the California UST Operator state exam. The exam must be taken and passed every two years for the UST Operator certificate to stay current.

California Environmental Services can help you during this time of change.
