it's a law passed in 1984

there's a texaco in inlet beach not in compliance, fillups foodstore in freeport on 20, one place in mossy head, and three in defuniak springs

 

[Smiling JOe]

It is most likely that the fillups foodstore in Freeport will close with the new 331 open, and the Chevron and BP on that corner with hwy 20. Chevron is new and has the double-lined tanks, and BP should be nearly complete with the change of tanks very soon if not already.
