California ICC UST Inspector Practice Exam

Which license is NOT required for installing monitoring equipment?

1. A C-34 Pipeline Contractor license.

2. A C-36 Plumbing Contractor license.

3. A Class "A" General Engineering Contractor License.

4. An UST Monitoring Equipment Contractor License.

The correct answer is: An UST Monitoring Equipment Contractor License.

The distinction is made clear when considering the role of a contractor's license in the installation of monitoring equipment. A UST Monitoring Equipment Contractor License is specifically tailored for those who are installing, maintaining, and servicing underground storage tank monitoring systems. Therefore, possessing this license is essential for legally performing these activities. In contrast, while the other listed licenses may involve certain aspects of construction and installation, they are not specifically designed for monitoring equipment. For example, a C-34 Pipeline Contractor license relates to pipeline installation and repair, while a C-36 Plumbing Contractor license pertains to plumbing installations. Additionally, a Class "A" General Engineering Contractor License covers a broad range of engineering projects but does not specifically address UST monitoring equipment installation. Consequently, obtaining a UST Monitoring Equipment Contractor License is the key requirement for ensuring compliance and expertise in this specialized field, making it particularly crucial for those intending to work with underground storage tank monitoring systems.
