However, these operators are still responsible for operation and maintenance activities or responding to emergencies or alarms and are still subject to the requirements of this subchapter.
ATCP 93.820(3) (3) If the owner and operator of the tank system are separate persons, either the owner or operator may designate the Class A, Class B, and Class C operators at the facility, but both the owner and the operator are under the same responsibility under this section to ensure that Class A, Class B, and Class C operators are designated.
