Abstract:

CPP SUREMIX herein after referred to as the proponent, intends to apply for Consumer Installation Certificate (CIC) from the Ministry of Mines and Energy for the continued operation of its existing 5,000-liter diesel tank located at Henties Bay Industrial area. The company specializes in the supply of aggregate and ready-mix concrete and has branches in four coastal towns. To complement its operations, the company has entered into a long-term agreement with a bulk fuel supplier, Bachmus Oil & Fuel Supplies for the supply of diesel to its coastal branches. The new Petroleum Products Regulations prohibit a person to have in possession more than 200 litres of petrol or diesel in an urban area or more than 600 litres of petrol or diesel in a rural area. To store diesel or petrol above the stated threshold, one needs to apply for a retail licence in case of operators that sell petrol/diesel to the public) and a consumer installation certificate for those keeping fuel for own use. The Consumer Installation Certificate is defined as a petrol or diesel installation (above ground or below ground), including any pump, storage tank and piping used in relation thereto, for the purpose of dispensing fuel into own or hired petrol or diesel consuming equipment or own or hired vehicles (MME,2000). The consumer certificate is strictly only for own use and may not give or sell petrol or diesel to another person.
