Compliance FAQs
Answers to the regulatory questions facility owners ask most.
What is cathodic protection testing and who needs it?
Cathodic protection (CP) testing is a federally mandated inspection under EPA 40 CFR 280 and PHMSA regulations. It measures electrical potential between buried metallic structures and surrounding soil to verify corrosion protection is active. Any Minnesota facility with underground storage tanks or buried metallic piping must have CP testing performed. JCAS INC. holds the AMPP CP1 certification and provides CP testing statewide.
What are MPCA Class A/B operator requirements for UST facilities?
The MPCA requires every underground storage tank facility to designate a certified Class A operator and Class B operator under 40 CFR 280.240. Facilities without compliant designations face enforcement actions and fines. JCAS INC. provides certified Class A/B operator services and full UST compliance packaging.
How does the Minnesota Petrofund reimbursement process work?
The Minnesota Petrofund under Chapter 115C reimburses eligible petroleum tank release cleanup costs. The current leaded gasoline re-evaluation wave affects hundreds of MN properties. JCAS INC. is a registered Petrofund consultant that navigates the application, documentation, and reimbursement process.
What compliance services do gas stations need in Minnesota?
Minnesota gas stations must satisfy UST inspections, cathodic protection testing, Class A/B operator designations, release reporting, SPCC plans, and Petrofund documentation. Non-compliance can result in fines up to $10,000 per day per violation. JCAS INC. offers bundled packages addressing all mandates in a single engagement.
What are PHMSA pipeline compliance requirements?
Pipeline operators must comply with PHMSA 49 CFR Parts 192 and 195, including annual cathodic protection testing with documented results. JCAS INC. provides CP1 testing and compliance consulting for pipeline operators aligned to these federal requirements.
