Avoiding NOVs with PASS TOOLS

By Jacob Gunter

During the summer months, state and federal inspectors visit many UST/AST facilities to conduct periodic inspections looking for deficiencies.  When problems are identified the owners/operators are issued Notice of Violations and are given the opportunity to meet compliance within a timeline, if these tasks are not completed Owners could face consequences such as fines, delivery prohibition (also known as a red tag), or other sanctions.   

Keeping up with customer needs can be challenging and stressful, balancing customer needs and scheduling priority levels for compliance tasks are some of the logistics Service Providers deal with daily.  PASS TOOLS for Service Providers will give you the ability to meet customer needs and surpass them.   

PASS TOOLS is a cloud-based compliance management platform that enables UST/AST service providers and inspection companies to manage all aspects of their day-to-day operations. The system allows these organizations to digitally collect, review, analyze and share testing and compliance information with and on behalf of their customers – effectively becoming an industry-tailored CRM system. PASS TOOLS is currently being utilized by industry-leading companies and has been battle-tested and continually improved with feedback from dedicated service providers. 

Below are some of the most common issues we see Owner/Operators cited for: 

  • Failure to train UST Operators A/B or C 

  • Failure to conduct monthly/quarterly/annual inspections 

  • Spill buckets not properly cleaned out or maintained 

  • Yearly compliance functionality testing on equipment not maintained 

  • Failure to collect leak reports from the ATG or monitoring system supporting UST’s 

  • Failure to located or present compliance paperwork to the inspector 

Customers being issued NOV’s become priorities to service providers, and with PASS TOOLS you will have the ability to track the progress of these issues and communicate effectively with your customer about bringing them back into compliance.
