. (a) The local agency shall inspect every underground tank
system within its jurisdiction at least once every year. The purpose
of the inspection is to determine whether the tank system complies
with the applicable requirements of this chapter and the regulations
adopted by the board pursuant to Section 25299.3, including the
design and construction standards of Section 25290.1, 25290.2, 25291,
or 25292, whichever is applicable, whether the owner or operator has
monitored and tested the tank system as required by the permit, and
whether the tank system is in a safe operating condition.
(b) After an inspection conducted pursuant to subdivision (a), the
local agency shall prepare a compliance report detailing the
inspection and shall send a copy of this report to the permitholder
and the owner or operator, if the owner or operator is not the
permitholder. Any report prepared pursuant to this section shall be
consolidated into any other inspection reports required pursuant to
Chapter 6.11 (commencing with Section 25404), the requirements listed
in subdivision (c) of Section 25404, and the regulations adopted to
implement the requirements listed in subdivision (c) of Section

agency may require the permitholder to employ a special inspector to
conduct the annual inspection. The local agency shall supply the
permitholder with a list of at least three special inspectors that
are qualified to conduct the inspection. The permitholder shall
employ a special inspector from the list provided by the local
agency. The special inspector's authority shall be the same as that
of the local agency as set forth in subdivision (a).
(d) Within 60 days after receiving a compliance report or special
inspection report prepared in accordance with subdivision (b) or (c),
respectively, the permitholder shall file with the local agency a
plan to implement all recommendations contained in the compliance
report or shall demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the local agency,
why these recommendations should not be implemented. Any corrective
action conducted pursuant to the recommendations in the report shall
be taken pursuant to Sections 25296.10 and 25299.36.
