Delivery Prohibition (R.61-92, Part 280.26 (a)-(h)) is when the Division prohibits the delivery of fuel to an underground storage tank system by placing a red tag on the fill port.

After the 30 day follow-up period has passed, and compliance has still not been reached, a delivery prohibition letter will be issued.
