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. l <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, r 1E AWWAL <br /> '+ 4 <br /> [Original Signed By] �• F`r y � ' F' <br /> Elizabeth L.
