455G.17  Inspectors--education--registration.

1.  The board shall adopt certification procedures and standards for the following classes of persons as underground storage tank installation inspectors:

a.  A licensed engineer, except that if underground storage tank installation is within the scope of practice of a particular class of licensed engineer, additional training shall not be required for that class. A licensed engineer for whom underground storage tank installation is within the scope of practice shall be an "authorized inspector", rather than a "certified inspector".

b.  A fire marshal, or other person unaffiliated with the tank owner, operator, or installer.

2.  The board shall adopt approved curriculum for training both engineers and fire marshals or other unaffiliated persons as a precondition to their certification as underground storage tank installation inspectors.

3.  The board shall adopt approved curricula for training persons to install underground storage tanks in such a manner that the resulting installation may be certified under section 455G.11, subsection 10, and provide fire safety and environmental protection guidelines for persons removing tanks.

4.  The board shall require by rule that all certified or authorized underground storage tank inspectors register with the board and that all persons trained to perform or performing certified tank installations register with the board. A person's failure to register shall not affect the person's certification, or the certification of an otherwise eligible installation performed by that person, but rules may provide for a civil penalty of no more than fifty dollars. The board may provide a list of registrants to any interested person. The board may impose a fee for registration to recover the costs of administering the registration account.
