Résumé

The Chapter 376 of the Florida Statutes concerns pollutant discharge prevention and removal. It declares that the preservation of the use of the seacoast of the state is a matter of the highest urgency and priority, and that such use can only be served effectively by maintaining the coastal waters, estuaries, tidal flats, beaches, and public lands adjoining the seacoast in as close to a pristine condition as possible, taking into account multiple use accommodations necessary to provide the broadest possible promotion of public and private interests. It further declares that the transfer of pollutants between vessels, between onshore facilities and vessels, between offshore facilities and vessels, and between terminal facilities within the jurisdiction of the state and state waters is a hazardous undertaking; and spills, discharges, and escapes of pollutants occurring as a result of procedures involved in the transfer, storage, and transportation of such products pose threats of great danger and damage to the environment of the state, to owners and users of shore front property, to public and private recreation, to citizens of the state and other interests deriving livelihood from marine-related activities, and to the beauty of the Florida coast. Further, the Chapter provides for prohibition of pollution of waters and lands of the state; powers and duties of the Department of Environmental Protection; prohibition of operation of terminal facility without discharge prevention and response certificate, and related penalty; discharge contingency plan for vessels; removal of prohibited discharges; Florida Coastal Protection Trust Fund; financial security requirements for vessels, liability of cargo owners, and notification requirements; liability for damage to natural resources; claims against the Florida Coastal Protection Trust Fund; emergency proclamation, and Governor’s powers; vessels and financial responsibility; derelict vessels and relocation or removal from public waters; prohibition of traps impregnated with pollutants; gambling vessels, their registration and required and prohibited releases; pollution of surface and ground waters; review and analysis of disposal materials or byproducts; disposal at designated local government solid waste disposal facilities; removal of prohibited discharges; cattle-dipping vats; Water Quality Assurance Trust Fund; application of risk-based corrective action principles to contaminated sites, contamination cleanup criteria; contamination notification; Inland Protection Trust Fund; advanced cleanup; site rehabilitation agreements; innocent victim petroleum storage system restoration; Florida Petroleum Liability and Restoration Insurance Program; local programs and state agency programs for control of contamination; Inland Protection Financing Corporation; drycleaning facility restoration; tax credits for rehabilitation of drycleaning-solvent-contaminated sites and brownfield sites in designated brownfield areas and application process; release of specified mineral acids from aboveground tanks and registration of the aboveground tanks in which specified mineral acids are stored; surety for any cleanup and remedial action for operations which are not conducted in a safe and environmentally compatible manner in petroleum exploration and production; Minerals Trust Fund; asbestos removal program inspection and notification fee; tax on gross receipts of drycleaning facilities; registration fee and gross receipts tax; tax on production or importation of perchloroethylene; Brownfields Redevelopment Act; brownfield program administration process; brownfield site and brownfield areas contamination cleanup criteria.
