PURPOSE:

Some of the proposed amendments for this chapter are in response to DEP’s 2025 rule review pursuant to Section 120.5435, Florida Statutes.

SUBJECT:

The current proposed amendments include clarifying regulatory language not previously revised and addressing statutory requirements presented during the 2025 rule review. The amendments also include adding and clarifying several definitions, removing obsolete language, updating reference guidelines to the newest editions, adding a new provision to test shear valves annually, adding a requirement for ASTs to be labeled with the appropriate DEP Facility ID, requiring facilities wanting to do a limited closure to be in compliance at the time of closure, updating two forms and the guidance document Instructions for Conducting Sampling During Aboveground Storage Tank Closure.
