Delaware UST A/B Operator Training
Delaware’s Underground Storage Tank (UST) Class A/B Operator Training is a state-specific, online program designed to satisfy both federal EPA requirements and Delaware regulatory mandates for designated Class A and Class B operators, ensuring UST owners properly designate trained personnel to oversee system compliance and environmental protection; this comprehensive course covers UST system components, release detection methods, corrosion protection, spill and overfill prevention, recordkeeping, reporting requirements, and emergency response procedures, and includes interactive quizzes and a final exam that must be passed to earn certification, with flexible, self-paced access that allows operators to complete the training on their own schedule. Completion of this course provides operators with the knowledge required to comply with Delaware’s UST regulations as administered by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) (https://dnrec.delaware.gov/waste-hazardous/tanks/underground/) and equips them with the skills necessary to prevent releases, maintain regulatory compliance, and protect public health and the environment.
