Q. Can a Class A/B UST operator also be the Class C UST operator?

A. For purposes of implementing the operator training requirements, EPA guidelines establish three classes of operators identified as Class A, Class B, and Class C. Each underground storage tank (UST) system, or group of UST systems at a facility must have a Class A, Class B, and Class C operator designated.

All individuals designated as a Class A, B, or C operator must, at a minimum, be trained in accordance with these guidelines. The operator described above, or an individual may be designated to more than one of the above operator classes. An individual who is designated to more than one operator class must be trained in each operator class for which they are designated.
