Final Assessment Report (FAR) submittal instructions

A Final Assessment Report (FAR), must be submitted by the owner or operator that is liable as defined by Part 213, Section 324.21311a of the Leaking Underground Storage Tanks, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended. (1) within 365 days after a release has been discovered. It must include a corrective action plan developed under section 21309a.

EGLE requires that this submittal type be provided using the Remediation Information Data Exchange (RIDE) system. Specific information on uploading submittals using RIDE is on the Electronic Submittals guidance page. If you are already a RIDE User, navigate to MiLogin for Business to access RIDE.

This submittal requires both primary certification (usually a consultant) and secondary certification (the regulated entity). Certifications act as the electronic signatures for submittals using RIDE.  For more information, please visit the secondary certification guidance page.

The following elements must be provided for the submittal to be accepted by EGLE:

• Secondary Certification by the Regulated Entity is required. If the consultant is performing Secondary Certification on behalf of the Regulated Entity, then EQP4032 must be completed and placed as the first pages of the Attachment.
• A “Revised” FAR may be submitted by checking the box only if a previous FAR was entered into RIDE and was denied or determined to have insufficient information. If the FAR being revised predated RIDE, only the ‘New’ option will be available but the same statutory requirements for review will apply.
• The MIRBCA forms are required. More information on the MIRBCA forms can be found on EGLE’s Leaking Underground Storage Tank webpage.
