Although the HSC requires annual spill bucket testing, neither the HSC nor Title 23, <br /> Chapter 16, of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) specify how this testing should be <br /> done, or by whom. <br /> In response to concerns expressed by local agencies and the regulated community regarding the <br /> need for consistent spill bucket testing procedures, State Water Resources Control Board(State <br /> Water Board)Underground Storage Tank(UST) Program staff convened a workgroup comprised <br /> of local UST regulatory agency inspectors,UST owners/operators, service technicians, <br /> Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) staff, and State Water Board staff. The <br /> workgroup developed the enclosed spill bucket testing guidelines to promote consistency and <br /> effectiveness of spill bucket testing. Additionally, the workgroup developed the enclosed"Spill <br /> Bucket Testing Report Form"to record and submit test results to the appropriate local UST <br /> regulatory agency! <br /> If you have questions regarding this document,please contact the UST Program at <br /> (916) 341-5775 or ust@waterboards.ca.gov. <br /> Sincerely, n , -�=� D <br /> [Original Signed By] <br /> [iiAY 07 2020 <br /> Elizabeth L.
