California ICC UST Inspector Practice Exam

Which of the following is an incorrect statement regarding fill locations on USTs?

1. They need to be sealed during temporary closures

2. They must be regularly monitored

3. They are the only locations requiring inspection

4. They leak detection must meet state standards

The correct answer is: They are the only locations requiring inspection

The statement that fill locations on Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) are the only locations requiring inspection is inaccurate. While fill locations are important points that require attention during inspections, they are not singularly the only areas that need to be inspected. Other components of UST systems, such as the tank itself, associated piping, leak detection systems, and secondary containment measures, also need to be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure safety and compliance with environmental regulations. This comprehensive inspection approach helps in identifying potential violations or problems that could lead to leaks or contamination. In contrast, the other options reflect correct practices in UST management, such as the necessity of sealing during temporary closures to prevent unauthorized access and spills, the requirement for regular monitoring to detect issues early, and ensuring that leak detection systems meet state standards to enhance environmental protection.
