Iowa UST Licensing Program

Chapter 567--134.18(455B) of the Iowa Administrative Code requires UST professionals to be licensed by the Department of Natural Resources. UST-licensed professionals must be certified by the DNR’s UST Section in order to install new underground storage tank systems or to upgrade or line existing regulated UST systems in Iowa.

The DNR recently updated the Iowa Administrative Code for an increase in liability coverage for licensed installers from $250K to $1M, and for all UST installations, repairs, testing and closures in Iowa to be completed by an individual licensed through the Iowa UST licensing program.

Inquiries about the UST licensing program should be made through Sherry Blaisdell at (515)281-8865 or sherry.blaisdell@dnr.iowa.gov.
