Underground Storage Tanks

This new underground storage tanks (UST) virtual classroom provides internet-accessible training of introductory-level courses. The UST-LUST Virtual Classroom ­ currently consisting of two modules ­ provides cost effective, core-curriculum training to state and EPA UST inspectors and staff, as well as others interested in learning about USTs. The first module, Introduction To The Underground Storage Tanks (UST) Program, provides an explanation of the UST regulations; identifies the differences between the UST and leaking UST programs (LUST); discusses financial responsibility; and orients new users to the components of an UST system. The second module, Basic UST Inspector Training, describes how inspectors can prepare for and conduct compliance inspections at typical UST sites.

You can access the UST-LUST Virtual Classroom 24 hours a day on EPA's National Enforcement Training Institute (NETI) website. From the NETI web site click on the "Classroom" link and then log-on from the next screen. New users must first register; users who have already registered need only enter their account name and password.
