Rule 2.

(1) Farm storage facilities that are placed in service after the effective date of this rule shall immediately comply with this rule. Facilities that are in service before the effective date of this rule shall have 5 years to comply with all portions of this rule.

(2) After the compliance period has been reached, a person shall not operate a farm storage facility in Michigan unless it has met all of the requirements of these rules, or has a plan approved by the department, which includes a specified time frame.

(3) The department may exempt any person from a requirement under these rules if compliance is not technically feasible, as determined by the department, and the department finds that alternative measures provide substantially similar protection against a discharge to the environment. All information which is required to prove that substantially similar protection is possible shall be provided to the department by the person who requests the exemption.
