FAC Chapter 62-761 & 762 2017

​Chapters 62-761 and 62-762 of the Florida Administrative Code (FAC), updated in 2017, establish comprehensive regulations for the management of petroleum storage tank systems in Florida. Chapter 62-761 focuses on Underground Storage Tank (UST) systems, while Chapter 62-762 addresses Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) systems. These regulations encompass requirements for system design, installation, operation, maintenance, monitoring, and closure to prevent environmental contamination. The 2017 revisions aligned Florida's rules with federal standards, such as 40 CFR Part 280, and introduced updates to financial responsibility provisions, equipment registration, and integrity testing protocols. Compliance with these chapters is mandatory for tank owners and operators to ensure the protection of Florida's soil and groundwater resources.​
