| The
1998 Florida Legislature enacted the Florida Accidental Release Prevention and Risk
Management Planning Act (ARP/RMP), Chapter 252, Part IV, Florida Statutes. This Act grants
the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) the necessary authority and resources to seek
delegation for Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, Section 112(r) [Section 112(r)]
implementation from the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. Section 112(r) required the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish a list of at least 100 substances and their associated threshold quantities to determine who must comply with a new Risk Management Program. EPA was also tasked with developing regulations and guidance for response, prevention, and detection of accidental releases associated with the regulated substances. Section 112(r) additionally requires the regulated facilities to prepare a Risk Management Plan that includes a Hazard Assessment, Accidental Release Prevention Programs, and an Emergency Response Program. The resulting regulations that EPA adopted in accordance with Section 112(r) are the Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions (CAPP) found in 40 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 68. CAPP lists the regulated substances and their thresholds. For owners and operators of regulated substances the CAPP frames a three Program Level regulatory system. Qualifying for a particular Program Level is based on: the amount of previous risk management steps, a stationary sources’ accidental release history, proximity to public receptors, and type(s) of regulated substance(s). Florida’s Accidental Release Prevention and Risk Management Planning Act also provides for funding, fees, enforcement authority and penalties, and authorizes DCA to conduct Risk Management Program inspections and audits. The Florida law mirrors the regulations set up with Section 112(r) and CAPP.
