9 9 issued a no further action certificate under section 455B.474.
9 10 As a condition of receiving benefits under this paragraph, the
9 11 department must determine that the condition necessitating the
9 12 corrective action was not a result of a release that occurred
9 13 after the issuance of the no further action certificate, and
9 14 that the site qualified for remedial benefits under this
9 15 section prior to the issuance of the no further action
9 16 certificate. No more than one hundred thousand dollars per
9 17 site may be used for the costs of a corrective action,
9 18 including site assessment, under this paragraph. The owner or
9 19 operator may file a claim for no further action benefits as
9 20 provided in this paragraph. If the owner or operator is
9 21 unable or unwilling to file a claim, the department may

9 23 assessment and corrective action costs exceed one hundred
9 24 thousand dollars, the board may consider requests from any
9 25 eligible claimant or the department to reopen an eligible
9 26 remedial benefits claim as provided in this section or
9 27 authorized by section 455G.21. Any no further action benefit
9 28 moneys expended pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied to
9 29 any remaining balance of the reopened remedial benefits claim.
9 30 This paragraph does not confer a legal right on an owner or
9 31 operator of petroleum=contaminated property or on any other
9 32 person to receive benefits under this paragraph.
9 33 Sec. 8. Section 455G.9, subsection 1, Code 2007, is
9 34 amended by adding the following new paragraph:
9 35 NEW PARAGRAPH. l. Costs for the permanent closure of an
10 1 underground storage tank system that was in place on the date
10 2 an eligible claim was submitted under paragraph "a".
10 3 Reimbursement is limited to costs approved by the board prior
10 4 to the closure activities. Installation of a new underground
10 5 storage tank shall be prohibited on the property for a period
10 6 of two years.
10 7 Sec. 9. Section 455H.105, subsection 5, Code 2007, is
10 8 amended to read as follows:
10 9 5. Adopt rules establishing requirements for the
10 10 submission, performance, and verification of site assessments,
10 11 cleanup plans, and certifications of completion. The rules
10 12 shall provide that all site assessments, cleanup plans, and
10 13 certifications of completion submitted by a participant shall
10 14 be prepared by or under the supervision of an appropriately
10 15 trained professional, including a groundwater professional
10 16 certified pursuant to section 455G.18 455B.474.

11 9 EXPLANATION
11 10 This bill relates to the regulation of underground storage
11 11 tanks by the department of natural resources.
11 12 The bill requires the maintaining of records by owners and
11 13 operators of underground storage tanks for periodic
11 14 underground storage tank facility compliance inspections
11 15 conducted by inspectors certified by the department.
11 16 The bill requires a no further action certificate issued by
11 17 the department for an underground storage tank site which has
11 18 been classified as a no further action site to be filed with
11 19 the county recorder. Currently, a certificate may be filed.
11 20 The bill requires the department to administer a certified
11 21 compliance inspector program for underground storage tank
11 22 facility compliance inspections. The bill provides that the
11 23 program shall include mandatory periodic underground storage
11 24 tank facility compliance inspections by owners and operators
11 25 using inspectors certified by the department. The bill
11 26 requires the department to continue to conduct independent
11 27 inspections as deemed appropriate. The bill appropriates
11 28 moneys received by the department for certification and
11 29 renewal fees for purposes of the administration of the
11 30 certified compliance inspector program. The bill provides
11 31 that acts or omissions of the certified compliance inspectors,
11 32 the state, or the department regarding certification, renewal,
11 33 oversight of the certification process, continuing education,
11 34 discipline, inspection standards, or any other actions, rules,
11 35 or regulations arising out of the certification, inspections,
12 1 or duties imposed by these provisions shall not be cause for a
12 2 claim against the state or the department.
12 3 The bill requires the environmental protection commission
12 4 to adopt rules for requirements as may be necessary to
12 5 maintain state program approval and which are consistent with
12 6 applicable provisions of the federal Energy Policy Act of
12 7 2005, Pub. L. No. 109=58, Title XV, Subtitle B, Underground
12 8 Storage Tank Compliance, as codified in 42 U.S.C. 6991 et seq.
12 9 The bill provides that the commission shall adopt rules
12 10 establishing a training program applicable to owners and
12 11 operators of underground storage tanks. The bill provides
12 12 that the rules may include provisions for department
12 13 certification of operators, self=certification by owners and
12 14 operators, education and training requirements, owner
12 15 requirements to assure operator qualifications, and assessment
12 16 of education, training, and certification fees. The bill
12 17 requires the rules to be consistent with and sufficient to
12 18 comply with certain federal requirements.
12 19 The bill repeals Code section 455G.17 relating to
12 20 certification of different classes of persons as underground
12 21 storage tank installation inspectors. The repeal takes effect
12 22 upon the Code editor's receipt of notice from the
12 23 environmental protection commission stating that emergency
12 24 rules required under this bill have taken effect.
12 25 The bill repeals Code section 455G.18 relating to the
12 26 certification of groundwater professionals and moves
12 27 substantially the same provisions to Code chapter 455B. The
12 28 bill removes a requirement that certification courses and
12 29 examinations be held by the administrator of the Iowa
12 30 comprehensive petroleum underground storage tank fund and
12 31 removes other outdated provisions. The bill makes conforming
12 32 amendments.
12 33 The bill requires that persons and companies performing or
12 34 providing services for underground storage tank installations,
12 35 installation inspections, testing, and permanent closure of
13 1 underground storage tanks by removal or filling in place, and
13 2 other closure activities be certified by the department. The
13 3 bill provides that the rules shall include establishing
13 4 separate certification criteria applicable to underground
13 5 storage tank installers and installation inspectors,
13 6 underground storage tank testers, and persons conducting
13 7 underground storage tank closure activities, establishing
13 8 minimum qualifications for certification, requiring a written
13 9 examination developed and administered by the department or by
13 10 some other qualified public or private entity identified by
13 11 the department, providing for a minimum two=year renewable
13 12 certification period, allowing a person to apply for a
13 13 combined certificate, providing that certificate holders
13 14 obtain and provide proof of financial responsibility for
13 15 environmental liability with minimum liability limits of $1
13 16 million per occurrence and in the aggregate, providing
13 17 criteria for the department to take disciplinary action
13 18 against certificate holders, and providing for certification
13 19 reciprocity between states, providing for assessment of fees
13 20 sufficient to cover the costs of administration of the
13 21 certification program. The bill that fees received by the
13 22 department are appropriated to the department for purposes of
13 23 the administration of these provisions. The bill allows the
13 24 adoption of rules requiring that all underground storage tank
13 25 installations, installation inspectors, testing, and closure
13 26 activities be conducted by persons certified pursuant to these
13 27 provisions. The bill provides that acts or omissions of
13 28 certified persons, the state, or the department regarding
13 29 certification, renewal, oversight of the certification
13 30 process, continuing education, discipline, inspection
13 31 standards, or any other actions including department onsite
13 32 supervision of certified activities, rules, or regulations
13 33 arising out of the certification, shall not be cause for a
13 34 claim against the state or the department.
13 35 The bill modifies provisions relating to the payment of
14 1 moneys in the remedial account of the Iowa comprehensive
14 2 petroleum underground storage tank fund. Currently, one of
14 3 the uses of such moneys is for corrective action in response
14 4 to a high=risk condition caused by a release from an
14 5 underground storage tank located on a site for which the
14 6 department, after January 31, 1997, has issued a no further
14 7 action certificate. The bill provides that the moneys may be
14 8 used for a corrective action including a site assessment
