1. An Inspector must inspect the UST. There cannot be any open violations when the permit is issued.
2. All required UST testing must be completed by the mandated due date and approved by testers.
3. In CERS, all UST owners and/or operators must submit a complete UST package for each permitting cycle or any changes to the UST system.
4. The Consolidated Permit fees must be paid in full before the permit is issued.

If the facility does not receive a valid Consolidated Permit, penalty fees and other enforcement options may apply.
