Important Notice Regarding LSSI and SCS
The Department has met the $10 million cap for the Low-Scored Site Initiative program (LSSI)
for this fiscal year as provided for in 376.3071(11)(b)3.c., F.S. Therefore, until further notice, the Department will no
longer accept LSSI proposals or LSSI Contractor Designation Forms (CDFs). Please note that consistent with appropriation 1668
of the General Appropriations Act and Section 29 of SB 1502, once becoming law, the Department will procure contractual services
for the LSSI program through the competitive solicitation procedures in Ch. 287, F.S.
Additionally, due to its intent to procure contractual services in the new fiscal year through
competitive solicitation procedures in Ch. 287, F.S., the Department will only consider Site Characterization Screening funding
from the FY 2012-2013 budget at sites for which it has sent a request for CDF through Friday, May 3, 2013, provided a valid CDF
is received by June 2, 2013. No more CDF request letters will be released for Site Characterization Screening, and CDFs voluntarily
submitted ahead of the Department’s priority based request will not be processed. The number of sites to be approved for SCS out
of FY 2012-2013 has not been confirmed and approval of a valid SCS CDF does not guarantee funding.

New Restrictions for Changing Designated Contractors in the Petroleum Cleanup Preapproval Program
Effective April 18, 2013
|
|
CDF Switching in LSSI
|
 |
Effective immediately, CDF switches will not be allowed in LSSI
unless the Owner/RP has changed for that facility. Once the CDF process has been completed and a proposal
has been submitted, the site is assigned to a site manager and enters the queue based on when the proposal was received by
the Department. Allowing a switch prior to work order initiation interrupts addressing a facility in a timely manner. A
future proposal by a new contractor does not take the initial proposal’s place in line but, instead, is placed in the queue
based on when it was submitted by the new Contractor and received by the Department.

SCORING NON-ELIGIBLE SITES
The purpose of this notice is to clarify the initiative the Bureau has undertaken to score non-eligible petroleum contaminated sites.
In order to provide DEP District offices with a tool to help them prioritize their enforcement effort with respect to non-eligible sites
which have no activity, the Bureau is having non-eligible sites scored.
This score is for DEP enforcement purposes only and the scoring of the noneligible sites is not to be considered as a cleanup prioritization
for the responsible parties of these non-eligible sites.
All non-eligible discharges are required to be cleaned up in accordance with Chapter 62-770, F.A.C.
Any score that is assigned to a non-eligible site is for internal DEP use only.
