CAN TANK HANDLERS PERFORM CONFIRMATION SOIL SAMPLES DURING A TANK PULL?
(Ref: NAC 459.9972) Yes. Handlers may take the samples as required in 40 CFR 280 subpart G, as part of the tank closure process, one sample on each end of UST. If a reportable quantity of contamination, as defined in Nevada regulations (Ref: NAC 445A.347), exists in the excavation then sampling must be conducted by a CEM. Correct sampling protocol must be followed. Petcon offers basic sampling courses in combination with safety training courses. For additional information contact: Petcon at (800) 852-8374. Samples must be sent to a Nevada Certified Laboratory.
