PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Chapter 62-770, F.A.C. will be repealed once all of the current Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA) rule chapters are merged in to Chapter 62-780, F.A.C., Contaminated Site Cleanup Criteria. The purpose is to achieve rule consolidation and consistency across cleanup programs, where possible, based on governing statutes. Concurrently, the Department is proposing the expansion of Chapter 62-780, F.A.C. to include all of the RBCA clean up rules.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: The existing petroleum contamination site rehabilitation criteria, process and procedures contained in Chapter 62-770, F.A.C. will be merged in to Chapter 62-780, F.A.C.
