DENR's UST Training sessions scheduled for March 2020 have been rescheduled for December 7, 8, and 9, 2020. Please contact Dawna Leitzke at (605) 224-8606 with any questions or to confirm registration. The federal Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the South Dakota Administrative Rule (ARSD) Chapter: 74:56:01:38.01 requires tank system owners and operators (managers) of any regulated Underground Storage Tank System (Regulated Facility) to complete a department-approved training program on the proper operation of tank systems. This regulation was put into effect in an attempt to help prevent releases from tank systems. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Since August 8, 2012, completion of an approved UST training course has been required for regulated facility owners and operators (managers) in South Dakota. All new owners/managers that cannot document previous completion of an approved training course shall initiate the training process within 30 days after assuming the operation and maintenance responsibilities at the UST facility. |

| Regulated facility owners that have not complied with the owners/managers training requirement of the department's Underground Storage Tank Regulation, 74:56:01:38.01 will receive a Notice of Violation (NOV) and penalty. The penalty for failure to complete the training is a minimum of $500 per tank; and they would still need to complete the required training. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| If the NOV is not resolved, the facility will be subject to delivery prohibition, meaning it will be unlawful for the facility to receive any deliveries of fuel. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
