N.J. Admin. Code § 7:14B-13.2 - Classifications of underground storage tank services
(a) An
individual or business firm may apply for certification in any one or more of
the following classifications of underground storage tank services:
1. Installation which may be either entire
system installation or release detection monitoring system
installation;
2. Closure;
3. Tank testing; and
4. Corrosion protection system analysis which
may be either cathodic protection specialist or cathodic protection
tester.
(b) The
activities that comprise the above classifications include the following:
1. Entire system installation includes all
activities required by this chapter to install underground storage tanks,
associated piping, release detection monitoring systems, interior tank lining,
and appurtenant equipment including factory installed cathodic protection
systems, from the time the ground is broken to the restoration of finished
grade at the site. Entire system installation includes the performance of an
internal inspection for the purpose of assessing a tank for corrosion
protection and the installation of a field installed cathodic protection system
when the installer is under the supervision of a cathodic protection specialist
or following the plans designed by a cathodic protection specialist. Entire
system installation activities include any maintenance or repair of any part of
the underground storage tank system or release detection monitoring system.
i. Individuals holding an entire system
installation certification shall also be considered to hold the more limited
release detection monitoring system installation certification described in
(b)2 below.
ii. Entire system
installation does not include the installation of discharge detection
observation wells unless installed in the manner described in
7:14B-4.1(c).
2. Release detection monitoring
system installation includes the activities associated with the installation,
repair and maintenance of release detection monitoring systems.
i. Release detection monitoring system
installation does not include the installation of discharge detection
observation wells unless installed in the manner described in
7:14B-4.1(c).
3. Closure includes all physical
activities required by N.J.A.C. 7:14B relative to the removal or abandonment in
place of an underground storage tank, associated piping and appurtenant
equipment, from the time the ground is broken until the excavation is filled or
until a determination is made that remediation is necessary and the site falls
under the on-site supervision of a licensed site remediation professional, or
representative thereof. A licensed site remediation professional, or
representative thereof, shall be present at the removal of an underground
storage tank from the ground as well as during the activities designed to
determine the presence and extent of contamination. Closure activities do not
include the preparation or implementation of site investigation or remedial
investigation workplans or any other remedial action plans or activities, which
are the exclusive purview of a licensed site remediation
professional.
4. Tank testing
includes all activities required by this chapter relative to testing the
physical integrity of an underground storage tank and appurtenant piping from
inception of the test until removal of testing apparatus from the tank system.
Tank testing also includes all activities relative to the testing of spill
prevention, secondary containment, electronic and mechanical components, and
inspection of overfill prevention equipment. The tank testing classification
shall not include the activities of air pressure soap tests of tanks or piping
where product is not present, which is the exclusive purview of the individual
certified in entire system installation described in (b)1 above.
5. Cathodic protection specialist includes
the activities required by this chapter relative to the design, installation,
maintenance, and testing of cathodic protection systems for underground storage
tank systems.
i. Individuals holding the
cathodic protection specialist certification are also considered to hold the
more limited cathodic protection tester certification described in (b)6
below.
6. Cathodic
protection tester includes all activities required by this chapter relative to
the testing of cathodic protection systems for underground storage tank
systems.
