06-096 C.M.R. ch. 680, § 3 - Exemptions
A.
Certain routine activities.
Those vessels at anchorage awaiting assignment following a regularly scheduled
unloading operation shall be exempt from obtaining a permit from the Board of
Environmental Protection for the long term storage of tank vessels in State of
Maine waters if the vessel remains fully crewed during the entire anchorage
period that the vessel is awaiting assignment and if the vessel has no oil on
board other than that necessary for its own use.
B.
Emergency storage. The Board
may exempt specific vessels from the permit requirements after it has been
determined by the Governor through the Office of Energy Resources as provided
for under the State Emergency Plan from the Office of Energy Resources, that an
actual or impending petroleum product shortage is imminent for Maine.
This exemption contemplates the possible use of tank vessels in times of emergency to temporarily increase the storage capacity for the State when supplies are short.
