Dear Storage Tank System Owner:
Charlie Crist
Governor
Jeff Kottkamp
Lt. Governor
Michael W. Sole
Secretary
The deadline for upgrading single -wall underground storage tanks and piping with
double -wall systems is December 31, 2009. The deadline for upgrading field- erected
aboveground storage tanks that do not have secondary containment beneath the tank is
January 1, 2010. The Department would like to remind and encourage you to consider
upgrading your storage tank systems as soon as possible. The rules also require that single -
wall bulk product piping (diameters greater than three inches) in contact with the soil that was
not exempted by an API 570 evaluation performed before January 1, 2000 must upgrade with
secondary containment beneath the tank by January 1, 2010.
It has been our experience from the eight previous Storage Tank Rule upgrade
deadlines that many facility owners choose to wait until the last minute to upgrade their tanks.
Unfortunately, there is usually a short supply of qualified contractors and storage tank system
equipment available to meet the demand, and many owners and operators pay higher prices for
the upgraded systems because they wait until the last minute. Those that missed the previous
deadlines faced Department enforcement actions and paid penalties for noncompliance.
Conversely, owners that upgraded early paid less for equipment and labor, received quicker and
higher quality service, and have saved money on insurance premiums and compliance.
The Department continues to receive inquiries regarding time extensions and the
Department's intent to enforce the deadlines. The upgrade rules have been in effect since
1991, so storage tank system owners and operators have had adequate notice of the
requirements and time to comply. In addition, owners and operators have been repeatedly
reminded of the deadlines by county inspectors, registration notices, and other Department
public information efforts.
The Department will continue to enforce these rules to protect Florida's surface and ground
water resources. Please contact Marshall Mott -Smith at 850 - 245 -8842 if you have any questions,

Petroleum Cleanup Program
The Florida Petroleum Cleanup Program is
managed within the Bureau of Petroleum
Storage Systems (BPSS) in Tallahassee by four
Petroleum Cleanup sections (Teams 1 -4) and
two contractors with on -sight DEP oversight
(Team 5 - WRS, Inc. and Team 6 - Ecology &
Environment, Inc.), and throughout the state by
14 contracted local programs (covering sites in
23 counties), with additional support from the
six DEP District Offices.
7a Storage Tank Regulation
The Storage Tank Regulation Section is part of
the Bureau of Petroleum Storage Systems in the
Florida Department of Environmental
Protection's (FDEP) Division of Waste
Management. In 1983, Florida was one of the
first states in the union to pass legislation and
adopt rules for underground and aboveground
storage tank systems. Since then, over 28,000
facilities have reported discharges of petroleum
products from storage tank systems. Florida
relies on groundwater for about 92 percent of
its drinking water needs, and has some of the
most stringent rules in the country. All new and
replacement storage tank systems must have
secondary containment, and all remaining
single -wall systems must replace their systems
with secondary containment by 2010. The
Department contracts with counties to perform
annual compliance inspections (25,000 /yr). As
of January 2004, approximately 400,000
inspections have been completed, and
compliance rates have improved significantly.

exceeding two months. All sources of impressed current shall be inspected. Evidence of proper functioning shall be current output,
normal power consumption, a signal indicating normal operation, or satisfactory electrical state of the protected structure.
Impressed current systems that are inoperative for a cumulative period exceeding 1440 hours shall be assessed by a Corrosion
Professional to ensure that the storage tank system is structurally sound, free of corrosion holes, and operating in accordance with
the design criteria.
c. Sacrificial anode systems. Storage tank systems with sacrificial anodes shall either have permanent test stations for soil -to-
structure potential measurements or use temporary field test stations for annual testing in accordance with sub - subparagraph 62-
761.700(1)(b)2.a., F.A.C.
3. Storage tank systems with cathodic protection systems that cannot achieve or maintain protection levels in accordance with

b. Be placed out -0f -- service in accordance with subsection 62- 761.800(1), F.A.C.
4. Records of the continuous operation of impressed current systems and all cathodic protection inspection and testing
activities shall be maintained in accordance with paragraph 62- 761.700(1)(b), F.A.C.
(c) Operation and maintenance.
1. Spill containment devices, dispenser liners, and piping sumps shall be maintained to provide access for monthly examination
and water removal as necessary. Water collected in spill containment devices, or in piping sumps and dispenser liners that is above
the opening of the integral piping connection, or any regulated substances collected in these storage tank system components
shall be removed and be either reused or properly disposed of.
2. Owners or operators shall ensure that the volume available in the tank is greater than the volume of regulated substances to
be transferred to the tank before the transfer is made and shall ensure that any transfer is repeatedly monitored to prevent
overfilling and spilling.
3. All release detection devices shall be tested annually to ensure proper operation. The test shall be conducted according to
manufacturer's specifications, and shall include, at a minimum, a determination of whether the device operates as designed.
4. Petroleum contact water from storage tank systems shall be managed in accordance with Chapter 62 -740, F.A.C.
5. Regardless of the method of release detection used, inventory control shall be performed for USTs containing vehicular fuel

(2) Single- walled storage tank systems that have been upgraded with cathodic protection or internally lined before June 30,
1992, may be repaired in accordance with this section until the storage tank system is upgraded with secondary containment in
accordance with Rule 62- 761.510, F.A.C. Storage tank systems with secondary containment may be repaired in accordance with this
section at any time during the operational life of the storage tank system.
(3) Tanks shall be tightness tested before being placed back in service, unless another testing method has been approved in
accordance with subsection 62- 761.850(2), F.A.C. Small diameter piping shall be tightness tested before being placed back into
service whenever dispensers connected to that piping are replaced or whenever the piping has been disconnected and then
reconnected.
(4) Tanks may be repaired with internal lining if.
(a) The internal lining is installed in accordance with API RP 1631, and documentation is available from the installer that
demonstrates these requirements have been met; and
(b) Within 10 years after the installation of internal lining, and every five years thereafter, the internally lined tank is:
1. Inspected internally in accordance with NLPA 631, Chapter B, and found to be structurally sound with the internal lining still
performing in accordance with original design specifications, or repaired to original design specifications in accordance with API
RP 1631. If the tank fails to meet these criteria, the owner or operator shall close the storage tank system in accordance with
subsection 62- 761.800(2), F.A.C.; or
