Facility Operator Course (Class A, B, C Operators) – Virtual Course
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 signed into law on August 8, 2005 requires owners of UST facilities to designate and identify by written list individuals to serve as Class A, B and C operator (s) for each facility.

Class C: On-site employee(s) present daily responding with emergencies caused by UST spill or release as well as conducting routine inspections at the site.
