The Petroleum Restoration Program Monthly Dashboard Update is a tool used by our program to define metrics and set goals on restoration of contaminated discharges at petroleum facilities to provide the best value for taxpayers. These reports contain high-level summaries rather than detailed transactions to communicate the state of the business.
Each year Petroleum Restoration Program spending procedures are published that outline various criteria and exceptions to the basic priority score funding process. They are too numerous to list here, but generally include imminent threats and emergencies, executed PAC contracts, approved bankruptcy court order sites, free product recovery initiative sites, source removal with UST upgrade initiative sites, well abandonment required for SRCO, removal and disposal of IDW, certain SRFA agreements, certain PBC milestone authorizations and department discretion special projects.
The Abandoned Tank Restoration Program (ATRP) was created in 1990 by the Legislature to address contamination at facilities that were “out of the business of storing petroleum products.” To be eligible for ATRP, a facility cannot have stored petroleum products for consumption, use, or sale since March 1, 1990, and the petroleum storage systems from which the discharge occurred must be closed pursuant to department rules. See subsection 376.305(6), F.S. and Rule 62-769, F.A.C., for more information on ATRP.
