1. Current and previous USEPA Underground Storage Tank (F/UST) Program grants awarded to the State Water Resources Control Board require training classes be provided to local implementing agencies, State staff, and others. These classes are to cover leak detection, tank installation, tank removal, and other subjects related to USTs.

 
2. A 3-year agreement will reduce State Water Resources Control Board administrative time in preparing annual contracts and allow more time to work with those involved with the training classes (CSUS, speakers, etc.).

 
3. Partial funding for this agreement is included in the current year F/UST grant, along with UST Cleanup Funds, and similar funding is expected to be included in future F/UST grants.

 
4. Expenditure authority for this agreement, including any amendments thereto, will not exceed $700,000 over the next 3 years beginning in Fiscal Year 1998-99.

The State Water Resources Control Board authorize the Executive Director or his designee to enter into a 3-year agreement with CSUS, not to exceed $700,000, including any amendments thereto, to provide services for coordinating UST Program training classes.

The undersigned, Administrative Assistant to the Board, does hereby certify that the foregoing is a full, true, and correct copy of a resolution duly and regularly adopted at a meeting of the State Water Resources Control Board held on February 18, 1999.
