What state might you be in?
When you are dead it's likely you won't know it. It could be difficult for others. It's the same if you are stupid.

There is no "One way", the 30-Day depends on each site. You should have been given the information you need in your Class A/B Operator training course.

You can follow the 30-Day checklist in PEI RP-900 & RP500
https://www.pei.org/rp900

You should get a company to do the annual testing.

Agree with previous poster, RP900's check-list is most helpful

Code: Select all

.

However, for regulatory compliance in Georgia it is important to know that their regulations all changed last year and they are updating things on their end. For the latest, you may want to ask their regulatory compliance office. They are very knowledgeable and helpful

In this org chart, under UST, see the "Regulatory Compliance" sub-group - Shaheer and Yasra are the two we've dealt with for USTs and they know the latest.

Good luck to you!

Some monthly walk through inspections can go a little further than what states might require.

Extra inspection point examples for us typically includes monthly UDC and Sump weep, seep and leak inspections.

Printing alarm histories and pass/fail sampling, profiling, testing and mapping of results for all fuel site product quality.

If you use the form from PEI RP 900, you are committing to performing all the other inspections, including daily inspections.

I highly suggest using a similar form, one without the PEI logo.
