Compliance Assistance Class:
Rule 1176 Sumps & Wastewater Separator
Inspector Certification Class

AQMD Rule 1176 requires that the inspection and monitoring of sumps & wastewater separators at petroleum refineries, oil production fields, chemical plants, and industrial facilities be performed by a Rule 1176 Certified Inspector (pdf 35 kb).

Rule 1176 requires individuals seeking to become Certified Inspectors to complete a District approved fugitive emissions compliance inspection program.  The program includes two separate courses:

·        Rule 1176 Sumps & Wastewater Separator Certified Inspector class (offered by AQMD); and,

·        CARB Training Course #395  (offered by CARB)

Individuals who attend and successfully complete both classes will become Rule 1176 Certified Inspectors.  You will have to register separately for each of the two classes.  If you have previously successfully completed CARB Course #395, you do not have to take it again.
