Florida Petroleum Marketers Association Launches Grassroots Effort to Educate Lawmakers about Trust Fund Environmental Risks
MOUNT DORA, Fla. --- The Florida Petroleum Marketers Association (FPMA) and its Environmental Committee launched a grassroots effort to educate Florida legislators and the community about the dire environmental consequences of recent budgetary decisions that all but eliminate the trust fund, which is used to remediate contaminated sites and protect Florida’s water and citizens.
Irvin Heath, President of HCR (Handex Consulting and Remediation LLC, based in Mount Dora), said “this could wreak havoc on the Florida environment resulting in serious current and future health problems.”
Florida legislators recently swept all funding over $200 million from the Florida Inland Petroleum Trust Fund (IPTF), which was established to fund environmental cleanups of petroleum contamination from fuel storage tanks, not just those at retail service stations. The previous year’s funding was $153 million.
“We are convinced that Florida lawmakers are unaware of the disastrous short and long term consequences of not funding the cleanup program,” Heath said.
“The danger to the Florida environment, particularly the water source for Florida (the aquifer), is enormous, and clearly the Florida legislature may shortchange future generations of Floridians by limiting the cleanup funding program,” Heath said.
Petroleum companies contribute to the IPTF via the collection of a per barrel tax on all product shipped into the state and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection administers cleanup activities.
“Without the FIPTF, the environmental cleanup of petroleum leaks and spills may be delayed and could be virtually stopped statewide,” Heath said. “Work on several thousand sites where pollution is the most dangerous is being delayed, and that could have disastrous consequences on the dollars already spent and on future generations of Florida citizens,” he added.
In addition, some remediation systems are being mothballed and taken out of operation. This may result in the contamination spreading, possibly going off site, and significantly increasing the danger and use of these systems in the future when additional money may be required to protect and perform maintenance on these systems.
“Citizens and FPMA members are urged to contact their local legislators, visit Tallahassee, write emails, organize seminars and form alliances with other environmental advocacy groups to drive the message to protect the FIPTF, Florida’s waters, and its citizens,” Heath said.
“We need a full-time, full-court press to urge legislators to take another look at this dangerous situation,” Heath said.

Move to Strip Cleanup Funds from IPTF Budget Could Generate Economic Havoc
MOUNT DORA, Fla. --- A cost-cutting move by Florida legislators to strip $200 million from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Inland Protection Trust Fund (IPTF) could prove disastrous, says one of the state’s leading experts on environmental protection and cleanups.
Irvin Heath, President of HCR (Handex Consulting and Remediation, LLC) based in Mount Dora, said the economic consequences of sweeping the funds are disastrous to our environmental protection efforts.
“The Inland Protection Trust Fund (IPTF) pays for cleanup of contaminated sites where petroleum products have leaked into the environment,” Heath explained. “In many cases, the environmental consequences are dire---pollution may contaminate the aquifer from which Florida receives its drinking water,” he said.
But the economic consequences are just as dire,” said Heath. “Although we have received preliminary approval to fund the program with a $90 Million bond – with a cost of $10.2 million to service the debt on that bond – we are fearful as we do not know if they will sweep the fund again next year, causing further cleanup delays and the spread of contamination,” he added.
“If the sites can’t be cleaned, it means property transfers may be delayed and economic transactions will be postponed or canceled. Some businesses will continue to lay off employees and others may close,” Heath said.
“I know legislators are in a difficult position due to today’s economic pressures trying to balance budgets and meet the needs of education and other citizen programs while tax receipts are down,” Heath said. “But the sacrifice in this case may be too great. We are jeopardizing the health of our waters, our children and the economy, and that’s not good,” he said.
Heath said he is busy working with his member teams and simultaneously contacting legislators, while trying to educate the public about the consequences of these funds being cut.
“I don’t believe the legislators understand how serious this is,” Heath said. “We are optimistic that once they understand the full implications of what they are doing they will adjust their strategy. We encourage all citizens to understand this issue and to contact their local legislators to secure their support,” he added.
