EPA Update: One Year After the 2018 Deadline

We recently received this important and useful email from Carolyn Hoskinson, Director of EPA’s Office of Underground Storage Tanks. It’s a great national recap of the one year anniversary of the new EPA rules. And we at UST Training have updated our Class A/B UST operator training courses to include the new rules. Please read and share.

 

Dear UST Community:

Etiquette guides will tell us that the traditional gift for a First Anniversary is paper….  Well, here’s an email instead!  Maybe you could pretend you’re reading it on good, old-fashioned paper.

This past Sunday, October 13, 2019, marked the one year anniversary of the October 2018 deadline for meeting the major underground storage tank (UST) requirements in the 2015 federal UST regulation; see www.epa.gov/ust/revising-underground-storage-tank-regulation-revisions-existing-requirements-and-new.  I am writing to thank you for your continued efforts in implementing this regulation, provide you with a few reminders, and share our observations about this past year.
