15            (C) All chlorine-based drycleaning solvent is
16        delivered to the drycleaning facility by means of
17        closed, direct-coupled delivery systems. The Dry
18        Cleaner Environmental Response Trust Fund Council may
19        adopt rules specifying methods of delivery of solvents
20        other than chlorine-based solvents to drycleaning
21        facilities. Solvents other than chlorine-based
22        solvents must be delivered to drycleaning facilities
23        in accordance with rules adopted by the Dry Cleaner
