NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on August 20, 2008, the Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Air Resource Management has issued an order.
An Order Granting Variance was issued under Section 120.542, F.S., from subparagraph 62-296.418(2)(b)2., F.A.C., for the Combs Oil Company bulk gasoline plant located at 76 Industrial Boulevard, in Naples, Florida. The Petition for Waiver was received by the Department on May 30, 2007. Notice of receipt of the petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly on June 22, 2007. Subparagraph 62-296.418(2)(b)2., F.A.C., requires installation and operation of vapor collection and control systems on loading racks at bulk gasoline plants which commence operation on or after August 1, 2007. Bulk gasoline plants which began operation prior to August 1, 2007, are not subject to the requirement of installation and operation vapor collection and control systems on the loading racks. Combs Oil Company has demonstrated that applicability of subparagraph 62-296.418(2)(b)2., F.A.C., to its bulk gasoline plant would violate principles of fairness based on circumstances outlined in the Order.
A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Ms. Terri Long at (850)921-9556 or terri.long@dep.state.fl.us.
