The Florida storage tank program is part of theBureau of PetroleumStorage Systems in
theDepartment of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Division ofWasteManagement. In
1983 Floridawas one of the first states to pass legislation, adopt rules, and develop a
program for the regulation of underground and aboveground storage tank systems. To
complywith theUSEnvironmental ProtectionAgency (EPA) UST rules, FDEP devel-
oped specific analytical requirements in the early 1990s for the assessment of petroleum
contaminations from storage tank systems.
InNovember 1995, FDEP released the first Florida PetroleumResidual Organic (FL-
PRO)method to regulate the procedure for analyzing petroleum hydrocarbons. The
method is based on solvent extraction andGC/FID tomeasure theTotal Recoverable
PetroleumHydrocarbons (TRPH) inwater and soil in the alkane range of C8-C40. In
April 1996 FDEP published the FL-PRO supplement in its PetroleumCleanupGuidance
Document #7.
FDEP alsomandates that each sample be analyzed for volatile organic aromatics
(VOAs), methyl-tert-butylether (MTBE), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
FDEP referencesMassachusetts EPH andVPHProtocols and standardEPAMethods
8015, 8021, 8260, 8270 and 8310.
