UST Operator Exams
Are you interested in taking the exam, but don’t need training? EPA developed class A and class B UST operator exams to primarily help UST system owners and operators in Indian Country meet the 2015 federal UST regulation requirement that designated operators demonstrate knowledge. Designated operators are required to verify compliance with the requirement to pass an exam. On behalf of EPA, NEIWPCC is making these exams easily accessible and at no cost to all designated operators. To learn more about these exams, please visit the EPA’s website.
