A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 6007 AS INTRODUCED 7-2-98
Part 215 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (NREPA), which regulates the Underground Storage Tank Assurance Fund, specifies that an applicant requesting certification as an underground storage tank professional must submit information to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) proving that he or she meets one or more of the following requirements:
The person is a licensed professional engineer with three or more years of relevant soil corrective action experience in the state, preferably involving petroleum underground storage tanks.
The person is a certified professional geologist (CPG) or holds a similar approved designation, such as a professional hydrologist or a certified groundwater professional, and has three or more years of relevant soil corrective action experience in the state, preferably involving petroleum underground storage tanks.
The person is able to demonstrate three or more years of relevant environmental assessment and corrective action experience in the state, and ten or more years of specific experience in relevant environmental work with increasing responsibilities. This experience must be documented with references and documentation that federal and state occupational safety and health act requirements have been met.
House Bill 6007 would amend the act to delete the requirement that an individual's experience be within the state of Michigan.
