California ICC UST Inspector Practice Exam

Which regulation contains the requirements for installing, repairing, and monitoring USTs?

1. HSC Ch. 6.7

2. Fire Code ABCD

3. CCR Chapter 16, Title 22

4. 29 CFR Ch. 6

The correct answer is: HSC Ch. 6.7

The correct choice is HSC Ch. 6.7 because this chapter specifically addresses the health and safety code regulations that apply to underground storage tanks (USTs) in California. It outlines comprehensive requirements regarding the installation, repair, and monitoring of USTs, emphasizing public health and environmental protection. HSC Ch. 6.7 establishes critical standards to ensure safety during UST installation, mandates necessary inspections and monitoring protocols, and sets forth guidelines for proper maintenance and repair practices. This makes it the primary source for UST regulations in California, ensuring compliance with both state and federal environmental standards. The other options do not focus specifically on UST requirements. Fire Code regulations typically cover broader fire safety standards and would not have the specific regulatory language needed for USTs. CCR Chapter 16, Title 22 pertains more to public health and solid waste management rather than the installation and monitoring of USTs. Lastly, 29 CFR Ch. 6 refers to occupational safety and health regulations which, while important, do not directly address the specifications applicable to UST operations.
