California ICC UST Inspector Practice Exam

After a facility inspection, who must receive a copy of the compliance inspection report?

1. The inspection contact

2. The UST permit holder (operator)

3. The UST owner

4. The UST permit holder (operator) and the UST owner

The correct answer is: The UST permit holder (operator) and the UST owner

The compliance inspection report is a critical document that conveys the results of the facility inspection, including any compliance issues and required actions. It is essential that both the UST permit holder (operator) and the UST owner receive a copy of this report, as both parties play significant roles in compliance with regulatory requirements. The UST permit holder is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the facility and must be informed of any compliance issues that may affect operational practices. Conversely, the UST owner has ultimate ownership responsibilities and needs to be aware of the facility’s compliance status to mitigate liabilities associated with ownership. Providing the report to both the operator and owner ensures that all parties are informed and can take necessary actions to address compliance issues together. This collaborative approach fosters accountability and ensures that the facility operates within legal and safety parameters, reducing risks to the environment and public health.
