Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 7:14B-5A.4 - Retraining

(a) Except as provided in (b) below, if the Department determines that an UST system is out of compliance with a significant requirement (for example, not having operating leak detection or cathodic protection mechanisms, failing to respond to alarms or active discharges, or repeatedly violating the same requirements over multiple inspections), the Department will require retraining and retesting (as applicable) of the designated Class A and/or Class B operators of the UST system in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14B-5A.2. The owner and operator shall ensure Class A and Class B operators are retrained no later than 30 days from the date the Department advises the facility of non-compliance, or within an alternate timeframe as agreed to by the Department.

(b) The Department may, at its discretion, provide an exception from the retraining and/or exam under (a) above, if the Department determines the UST system's non-compliance on which the retraining determination is based is the result of unanticipated equipment failure, improper contractor repairs, or other factors beyond the normal control and diligence of the owner and operator.

Adopted by 50 N.J.R. 409(a), effective 1/16/2018
