UST testing, with the whole site in view.

Bring a representative form and finished report. We’ll compare the fields, equipment relationships and output with Stratum’s supported configuration, then make the setup work clear. A form name alone does not establish support for every edition or jurisdiction.

Your team defines the requirements that apply to the work. Scopes, asset conditions, forms and output configuration need to reflect those decisions. Federal references are a starting point; applicable state and customer requirements still need review.

Start with the equipment, the cleaning record and the report your customer needs. We’ll review that workflow against the current site, job and form capabilities. This page does not promise a complete cleaning package or replace the technical and safety procedures used by qualified crews.

No. The field result records what happened in the test. Office review checks the submitted record. A complete, reviewed record can document a failed test and work that still needs attention.

Qualified testing within six months of installation and at least every three years, or another reasonable implementing-agency timeframe. Keep results of the last two tests.

Check operation every 60 days. Keep the last three inspections. This is separate from the cathodic protection test.

Spill prevention equipment and containment sumps used for piping interstitial monitoring generally require liquid-tightness testing at least every three years. The rule provides an alternative for double-walled equipment with both walls' integrity periodically monitored at no less than walkthrough frequency. If that monitoring stops, test within 30 days. Testing records: three years; alternative-monitoring documentation: while that equipment is periodically monitored.

Inspect at least every three years for appropriate activation level and operation under the specified criteria. Keep inspection records three years.

Check spill prevention and release-detection equipment at least every 30 days under the listed approach. Spill equipment at a system receiving deliveries less frequently than every 30 days may instead be checked before each delivery. Comparable code-of-practice or agency-developed inspection alternatives also exist. Keep walkthrough records one year, including checked areas, condition, corrections, and applicable delivery evidence.

Check containment sumps and handheld release-detection equipment annually under the listed approach. This is distinct from three-year testing of sumps used for piping interstitial monitoring. Walkthrough records: one year.

At least annually test proper operation of applicable electronic/mechanical components using manufacturer, recognized code, or agency criteria. Relevant components include controllers, sensors, alarms, and line leak detectors. Keep these operation-test records three years.

Generally at least every 30 days. Tanks installed after April 11, 2016 use the interstitial-monitoring provision; older tanks have method options and specifically limited inventory/tightness or small-tank gauging exceptions. Do not label all tanks as requiring annual tightness testing.

For piping installed on/before April 11, 2016: pressurized lines require an automatic line leak detector plus annual tightness testing or monthly monitoring; suction lines require three-year tightness testing or monthly monitoring, with a qualifying safe-suction exception. Later-installed/replaced piping generally uses interstitial monitoring every 30 days, with a detector additionally required for pressurized lines and the specified suction exception retained. Method requirements and applicability matter.

Routine sampling/testing/monitoring results generally at least one year or another reasonable agency timeframe; annual equipment-operation tests three years; tank tightness results under 280.43(c) until the next test. Performance documentation generally five years from installation. Method-specific assessment and maintenance documentation has separate rules. Do not collapse these into a universal three-year rule.

Training content and evaluation depend on Class A, B, or C responsibilities. Newly designated A/B operators must meet training requirements within 30 days of assuming duties; C operators before assuming duties. Federal rules do not impose a blanket recurring annual refresher on every operator.

A/B retraining generally within 30 days after an agency finding of noncompliance, with the annual-refresher and agency-waiver exceptions in the rule. Keep designated-operator lists and qualifying training/retraining evidence for as long as operators are designated.

Section 280.34 identifies reporting/record categories and availability obligations; it does not replace their individual retention requirements with one period. Records generally remain at the UST site for immediate inspection or a readily available alternate location for provision on request.
