The NJDEP regulates USTs and requires the professionals who work on them to be trained, certified and recertified every 3 years. Additionally, the State has now implemented an aggressive inspection program to identify and enforce UST violations, including the imposition of significant monetary penalties. If you work on USTs, you need this course! Whether you're becoming certified for the first time or just need to recertify, you'll get the regulatory information you need to stay current with New Jersey's UST requirements and help your clients or employer avoid potential penalty liability.
