Does the training meet the requirements of the Energy Policy Act of 2005?
Yes. The training meets or exceeds the requirements of the Federal Energy Policy Act of 2005. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 requires the EPA to establish guidelines for training the Class C operator who is the “daily, on-site employee having primary responsibility for addressing emergencies presented by a spill or release from a petroleum storage tank system.” The EPA’s guidelines state that a Class C operator is an employee and is, generally, the first line of response to events indicating emergency conditions. This individual is responsible for responding to alarms or other indications of emergencies caused by spills or releases from underground storage tank systems. This individual notifies the Class B or Class A operator and appropriate emergency responders when necessary.
