The procedures must be posted in an accessible, conspicuous location near the stationary vessel.(7) An existing stationary vessel installed or modified after July 1, 1979, and before March 1, 2023, at a gasoline loading facility that is not subject to the provisions of subrule (2) of this rule, must be constructed in a manner that allows the vessel to be retrofitted, according to subrules (2) and (4) of this rule.Mich.
