California ICC UST Inspector Practice Exam

To whom must a copy of the ELD test report be submitted by owners/operators?

1. CalEPA

2. Official of the state Fire Marshall

3. Water Commission

4. State Water Resource Control Board

The correct answer is: CalEPA

The correct answer is that a copy of the ELD test report must be submitted to CalEPA (California Environmental Protection Agency). This requirement is in place to ensure that the state maintains an accurate record of environmental safety assessments. The ELD test report provides crucial information regarding the integrity and functionality of underground storage tanks (USTs), which can have a significant impact on the environment if leaks occur. By submitting these reports to CalEPA, owners and operators help facilitate regulatory oversight and compliance with environmental laws. This submission is part of broader efforts to ensure responsible management of hazardous substances and to protect California’s natural resources from contamination. In doing so, CalEPA can evaluate the potential risks and respond accordingly, maintaining a safer environment for all Californians. The other options listed are not the appropriate agencies for submitting ELD test reports, which is specifically designated to CalEPA, emphasizing the importance of directing these reports to the right regulatory body for effective oversight and environmental protection.
