Applicants for first time Certification for Groundwater/Soil Sampler, UST Remover, and UST Installer must attend a Division of Environmental Response and Remediation (DERR) approved course. Those whose certification has been expired for more than two years must take a DERR approved course.
For more information contact Michelle Horning (801)536-4128. Initial and recertification exams for UST Tester can be taken at one of the scheduled dates.
UST rules require individuals applying for certification renewal to complete a course "equivalent" to previously DERR approved training courses. Course requirements and the responsibility to provide appropriate training have not been deleted, but rather, passed to the applicant. Applicant for renewal must take the recertification exam administered at the DERR on one of the scheduled dates. Individuals may obtain a study guide in preparation for taking the examination. Please pass study guides to other people in your company planning to recertify in the UST program.
All applicants for certificate renewal may take an UST exam within 6 months prior to the expiration date of the certificate. You must score 80% to pass. If you fail the examination, you must wait a month before you can retake the test. If you fail a second time you may be required to attend an approved training course, then take the exam in conjunction with the course. Please be aware that courses are taught by independent organizations and may only be taught 2 - 3 times per year. The DERR is not responsible if your certificate lapses and you are unable to perform UST activities for a period of time after failing an exam.
After completing the exam, if you have any questions or comments concerning the contents of the exam, please submit these questions in writing.
No pre-registration is required. An application must be completed and submitted with the required fee of $225.00 to the DERR to become certified once you have passed the exam. DERR will not accept an application without the required fee.
Exams are administered at the DERR, 168 N. 1950 W., first floor, Salt Lake City, Utah, at 9 am the first Tuesday of every month.
