Board of Underground Storage Tank Installers

Introduction - The Board certifies underground oil tank installers and underground oil tank inspectors, based on their knowledge of installation, inspection and removal practices. The Board also provides continuing education for certified persons and undertakes disciplinary action on certified persons when needed.

The Board’s office is located and maintained within the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Bureau of Remediation and Waste Management. However, since the Board has its own enabling statute and rulemaking authority, it is an agency separate from DEP.
