California UST System Operator Practice Test

Do double-walled spill buckets require inspection every 30 days?

1. True

2. False

3. Only if they are used

4. Only under certain conditions

The correct answer is: False

The statement that double-walled spill buckets require inspection every 30 days is incorrect, which makes the answer "False" accurate. In California, double-walled spill buckets are designed with an additional layer of protection to contain spills, which reduces the frequency of required inspections. Generally, these spill buckets are inspected at least annually, or according to manufacturer recommendations, rather than every 30 days. This reduced inspection frequency acknowledges the enhanced safety features inherent in double-walled systems, allowing operators to focus resources on more critical aspects of compliance and safety. The other choices represent different scenarios that do not align with regulations concerning double-walled spill bucket inspections. For instance, the notion that inspections are only necessary if the buckets are used does not account for the maintenance of safety standards mandated for all operational spill buckets, regardless of recent usage. Additionally, the idea of inspections being required only under certain conditions overlooks standard compliance practices that apply uniformly to all systems designed for environmental protection.
