Background
Title XV, Section B of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 amends Subtitle I of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, the original legislation that created the underground storage tank (UST) program. The UST provisions of the Energy Policy Act focus on preventing releases and direct EPA to help states comply with new UST requirements. EPA and states, working closely with other stakeholders, developed the operator training grant guidelines, which establish three distinct classes of underground storage tank operators, describe how and when states will implement the guidelines, and discuss when operators must be trained.
