Now with modern ATG’s like the Veeder Root TLS 450 PLUS, you can use internet connectivity to get alarm reports offsite, even going directly to your smartphone.

Be safe when inspecting your sumps!
The more you inspect your UST system, the more you can catch a small problem before it becomes a big one. But the more you inspect, the more you expose workers to possible job site hazards. Petroleum fumes, waste liquid and careless drivers all increase the risk of exposure to a dangerous work environment.
And with the increased amount of monthly, annual and three year inspections, the lids to your UST system are being opened more than ever.
Check out this handy video by the Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI) about how to properly barricade the area of the UST you are inspecting.

EPA Bulletins About Compatibility and Testing
The US EPA has published two important advisories: Feel free to share.
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.
