Section 176.660  Violations

A facility may not operate unless Class A, B and C Operators have been designated and trained for each UST that is being operated at each facility.  Trained Operators may be assigned to more than one facility at a time as long as the requirements of this Subpart F are met, including requirements under Section 176.655(a) that a Class A, B or C Operator be on site at all times at manned (attended) facilities.  Failure to comply with this Subpart shall be sufficient reason for the summary revocation of the OSFM-issued green tag providing authority to operate an underground storage tank facility whose Class A, B and C Operators have not been designated and trained.  Failure to remain in compliance with UST rules may also result in OSFM's issuance of a red tag for the tanks or facility at issue, prohibiting any further operation of the facility or further deposit of regulated substances into any tank subject to a red tag.  An approved training and testing program may be decertified by OSFM in the event of provider fraud, misrepresentation, negligence or noncompliance with OSFM rules, or with an OSFM certification audit recommendation, in conducting the training or testing.
