Training, certification, and renewal requirements for Class A, B, and C UST operators in each US state, including whether EPA online training is accepted, exam pass thresholds, renewal intervals, and the implementing agency.
Provenance — what every record carries
Every record carries source (the URL the value was read from) and
source_quote (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you
cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one;
these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on
the canonical site at its url.
Licence position

Facts are not copyrightable; what this dataset takes from each source is a fact plus a short attributed quote linking back to the page that states it.
