Proposal details

Clause 2.4.2.1. of the Liquid Fuels Handling Code (LFHC) requires that where an underground storage tank is out of service for two years or more, the tank and piping must be removed from the ground.

The facility has been shut down for almost two years and the deadline to remove the tanks is on June 30, 2020.  The tanks are empty.

The site is located close to TTC infrastructure.  Suncor needs to obtain a permit from the TTC to remove the tanks and piping. They are actively working with the TTC and expect to obtain the permit by the end of 2020.

In the interim, 

  • Product has been removed from the three underground tanks;
  • All dispensers and aboveground equipment have been removed from the site;
  • Tank fill pipes are secured (locked); and
  • Tanks are monitored monthly for water infiltration

in accordance with clause 2.4.1.2 of the LFHC.
