The state of Florida created the Petroleum Cleanup Participation Program (PCPP) for owners, operators, or responsible parties to clean up property contaminated with petroleum or petroleum products from a petroleum storage system by providing rehabilitation funding assistance from the Inland Protection Trust Fund (IPTF).
Please see section 376.3071(13), Florida Statutes, for all statutory requirements.
Ability to pay determinations are sought when responsible parties claim they do not have the financial resources to pay their portion of the cleanup costs. The following financial affidavits are a tool used by the department’s financial analyst to determine the responsible party's apparent ability to comply with corrective actions, pay proposed penalties or the ability to pay for site cleanup. The analysis is performed as a courtesy in response to a claim of an inability to pay some or all of what is required.
