Operator Training FAQs

Why were the regulations revised?

South Carolina is required by the Federal Regulation to submit an application for state program approval. As part of the state program approval process, the state is required to revise the SC UST Control Regulations to be at least as stringent as the Federal. If SC failed to update the UST regulations as necessary and failed to obtain state program approval, EPA would have direct oversight over compliance and enforcement activities. Owners and operators would not only be subject to compliance with S.C.
