industry. Table 2-13 presents the revised nationwide emission reductions
associated with these control options. The various regulatory strategies
are in turn composed of particular control options for each source
category. Table 2-14 presents the revised nationwide emission reductions
for nine regulatory strategies. These tables are similar to Tables b-7
and 5-9 presented in the July 1984 document (I-A-55). However, emission
reductions for ethylene dibromide (EBB) and ethylene dichloride (EUC),
contained only in leaded gasoline, were not included because the emission
reductions and risks associated with EDB and EDC were found to be
extremely small compared to benzene and gasoline vapors, and because
the expected accelerated leaded gasoline phase-down will further decrease
the impacts from EDB and EDC.
The values for Stage II shown in Tables 2-13 and 2-14 are presented
in a range to reflect the range of in-use efficiencies that can be
expected and the range of phase-in rates that were analyzed. The
ranges, which represent worst-case to best-case assumptions, are as
follows:
Nationwi de Strategies Nonattainment Area Strategies
Low End - Minimal enforcement; Minimal enforcement;
of Kange API (7-year) phase-in hiyh difficulty
(5-1/2 year) phase-in
High End - Annual enforcement; Annual enforcement;
of Range statutory (3-year) low difficulty (3-year)
phase-in phase-in
Other changes included in the emission reduction calculations
and discussed in Section 2.3.3 are:
o use of the new designated areas for nonattainment strategies;
o use of the new start dates for the regulatory strategies,
thereby changing the net present value analysis;
o use of only an 8-year combination of Stage II with onboard, with
emission reductions ending after 8 years;
o calculation of emission reductions for excess evaporative con-
trols and strategies that incorporate evaporative controls;
o calculations for a 49-State onboard analysis (no onboard in
California, extend Stage II to all stations in California),
addition of controls for heavy-duty vehicles, and addition of
excess evaporative impacts.

To further illustrate the comparison of Stage II and onboard
emission reductions, Figures 2-4, 2-5, and 2-6 depict the emissions
associated with these strategies with time. All of these figures are
based on the 10/50 exemption level discussed in Section 2.3.3.5.
In each figure, emissions are compared with a projection of baseline or
no further controls, and a percentage of emissions reduced is indicated.
Figure 2-4 Illustrates the information for refueling emissions only.
Figure 2-5 includes emptying losses (most of which Stage II will control)
in the baseline. Figure 2-6 includes emptying losses and spillage
emissions in the baseline. Spillage emissions occur during refueling;
however, neither Stage II nor onboard controls will reduce spillage
emissions, so no spillage emission reduction was assumed for either
Stage II or onboard.
2.4.2 Fuel Savings
In addition to the emission reduction impacts, the fuel savings
impacts were revised in the new analysis. The largest impact on the
fuel savings calculations came from the adjustment of the emission
factors. In addition, the July 1984 analysis had no fuel savings
credits associated with the onboard strategy. Under the new analysis,
recovery credits are included for onboard; therefore, fuel savings
credits are also included. Table 2-15 presents the fuel savings
associated with the gasoline marketing regulatory strategies calculated
under the new analysis. Included in Table 2-15 are the fuel savings
impacts that correspond to the excess evaporative strategy and those
strategies Tn combination with excess evaporative controls.
2.5 COST ANALYSIS
The basic methodology for estimating costs did not vary signifi-
cantly between the 1984 analysis and the new analysis. However, changes
or adjustments were added to reflect the changes to the analysis. For
instance, recovery credits were changed to reflect the updated emission
estimates, and service station costs were updated to reflect service
station facility projections and updated per-facility costs. The
purpose of this section is to outline all the changes made to the gaso-
line marketing cost analysis.

2.&-1 Recovery Credits
In general, all recovery credit values for each industry sector
were adjusted for the new analysis to reflect the change in RVP used in
the emission estimates. In most cases the emission estimates increased;
therefore, the associated recovery credits increased. A change in the
calculation of recovery credits for service stations using Stage II
systems was made based on a revised view of tank emptying losses. In
the 1984 analysis, it was assumed that 5U percent of the potential
underground tank breathing losses, or 60 mg/liter, would be recovered.
It is assumed in the new analysis that all of these losses, or 12U mg/
liter, can be considered emptying losses and are controlled at the
efficiency of the Stage II system.
A change has also been made in the gasoline recovery credit attri-
buted to the Stage II regulatory strategies to account for an energy
penalty. This penalty represented the decreased energy content of
gasoline stored at a station with a Stage II system, since the Stage II
system reduces evaporation in the underground tank, causing the product
to retain "light ends." A gallon of product with the light ends retained
has about 14 percent less energy content than a gallon of gasoline
composed predominantly of heavier ends ("weathered product"). The
recovery credit for Stage II, therefore, was reduced by 14 percent
since-,more product is required in order for the customer to realize the
same total energy content. Stage II recovery credits were also changed
to reflect the latest in-use efficiencies discussed in Section 2.2.2
and Appendix A.
Under the new analysis, gasoline excise taxes were analyzed to
determine if these taxes should be included in the value assigned for
recovery credit calculations. Gasoline excise taxes are, in part, pay-
ments to factors of production, since some of the tax receipts are
spent to facilitate the production, distribution, and consumption of
gasoline. Gasoline taxes also are, in part, transfer payments, since
some of the tax receipts are spent in areas that have no direct effect
on the production, distribution, and consumption of gasoline. The cost
to society of an EPA regulation is composed of payments to factors of
production; the cost to society does not include transfer payments.
Similarly, regulatory benefits—in this case recovery credits—should
2-43
-------
reflect savings in the payments to factors of production, but not
savings in transfer payments. Thus, only a portion of gasoline excise
taxes should enter into recovery credits.
Unfortunately, there is no accepted procedure to divide excise
taxes into the two unambiguous and non-overlapping categories of factor
payments and transfer payments. For this reason, EPA has elected to
treat the taxes as transfer payments for calculating the costs and
benefits of the regulatory strategies to society. This has the effect
of reducing recovery credits, which increases the computed costs of
the regulatory strategies.
Costs and benefits to society usually are not computed the same
way as costs and benefits to individual firms. Firms do not consider
changes in tax-supported services when they make productions, pricing,
employment, and related decisions. Firms look at their own balance
sheets—not society's. For this reason, EPA's analysis of price arid
•quantity changes includes full consideration of excise taxes. Specific-
ally, excise taxes are included in the recovery credits that ,are considered
by service stations in raising gasoline prices, because station owners
pay these taxes when they buy gasoline.
Given that there are two ways of treating gasoline excise taxes,
the unit price for recovery credits at the various gasoline marketing
facilities was estimated. These estimates are discussed below and
the prices used in the analysis are shown in Table 2-16. Table 2-17
gives the data sources for and derivation of these estimates.
For the onboard control system analysis, the recovery credits
are realized by the vehicle owner. Refueling vapors, normally lost
to the atmosphere, are collected in the carbon canister and later
burned in the engine. The vehicle owner is getting the energy benefit
of these vapors and saving money by purchasing less fuel. The price of
gasoline used in the market adjustment analysis for onboard control
is therefore the price of the fuel that the vehicle owner would have to
pay, or the full retail price. The analysis of costs to society uses
the retail price less taxes (transfers).
For the Stage II control system analysis, the recovery credits
are realized by the service station owner. Refueling vapors, which
are nearly saturated, are captured and returned to the vapor space of

-------
the underground storage tank. By returning saturated vapors to the
vapor space (instead of the normal situation where air is drawn into
the tank through vent lines), product evaporation in the tank is
reduced and, therefore, the station owner has to purchase less product.
Consequently, the price of gasoline used in the Stage II analysis is
based on the price the service station operator pays for gasoline, or
the retail price minus the owner's mark-up or margin.
For Stage I, the recovery credits for bulk plant and storage tank
operations are based on the same evaporation principles as those dis-
cussed for service stations (the reduction in product loss due to
evaporation). However, at bulk terminals there is control equipment
available that captures vapors from the trucks being loaded and recovers
the vapors as liquid product. For bulk terminals, bulk plants, and
storage tanks the price of gasoline must exclude not only the service
station dealer markup, but also .their delivery and facility mark-ups.
As a check on the estimated margins, the final terminal cost
($0.81/gal) was compared to published refinery gasoline prices for
1984. However, before the price can be compared directly with refinery
prices, an additional transportation cost (2 cents/gal) must be included
for the transportation costs from the refinery to the terminal. Backing
this value out yields a refinery price, of $U.79/gal. This compares
very closely to a published 1984 refinery price of $0.81/gal (I-F-133).
2.5.2 Model Plant Costs
In addition to the value of recovery credits, several revisions
were made to the individual facility cost estimates to correct errors
and to respond to comments. All costs in the 1984 analysis were based
on a base year of 1982. Unless specifically corrected, these costs
were updated to a 1984 base year by the use of cost indices (I-F-79,
I-F-112). The tables presenting the model plant costs used in the new
analysis are presented in Appendices B and J for direct comparison to
the 1984 analysis. The following paragraphs discuss the major changes
in the model plant costs.
2.5.2.1 Bulk Terminals. In response to comments, changes were
made to the assumptions concerning top loading of tank trucks at existing
bulk gasoline terminals. One commenter felt that many additional
top-to-bottom loading conversions would be required under a nationwide
2-47
-------
Stage I requirement. In the July 1984 analysis, it was assumed that 10
percent of the uncontrolled terminals currently practiced top loading
and would convert to bottom loading. After re-evaluating data received
by the Agency under the development of New Source Performance Standards
for bulk gasoline terminals, the assumed percentage of terminals that
would convert from top to bottom loading was changed from 1U percent to
60 percent. This increased the estimated capital costs associated with
controlling terminals by about 25 percent.
Also changed for the bulk terminal model plants were the capital
costs associated with carbon adsorption vapor recovery systems. These
costs were changed to reflect current capital costs supplied by one equip-
ment vendor (I-H-27). This new cost represented a 20 percent decrease
for this vendor's equipment from the value shown in the 1984 analysis.
2.S.2.2 Buik PI ants. In the new analysis, an error was corrected
in the calculation of product recovery credits applied to bulk plants.
The recovery credit associated with the reduction of bulk plant storage
tank emptying losses was not considered in the 1984 analysis. However,
the recovery credits for bulk plant operations are based on the same
principles as those applying to service stations (reduced evaporation
and loss of stored product due to vapor transfer). Since recovery
credits were taken for reduction in underground storage tank emptying
losses at service stations, they should also apply for bulk plants9 and
they have been included in the new analysis.
2.5.2.3 Servi ce jit at i ons. Considerable changes were made in the
per-facility cost analysis for the service station industry sector.
A much more detailed per-facility cost analysis was added to the new
calculations. The analysis was based on systems currently certified
in California and contains specific costs for dispenser modification
hardware, trenching costs, piping costs, and labor costs. Appendix B
describes, in detail, the methodology used in estimating the Stage II
per-facility costs. These updated per-facility costs also reflect
the changes made to the fuel RVP, dispenser configurations, emission
factors, fuel costs, and inuse efficiencies discussed earlier. Table
2-18 presents a comparison of capital and annual costs between the July
1984 analysis and the new analysis. In addition, revised Stage II
capital cost estimates are presented for a 35,000 gal/month service
station in Table 2-19. The selection of the above "typical" station

was based upon a throughput weighted average of stations that would
require controls with a 10/50 exemption level. Again, a complete
description of the costs associated with each major type of Stage II
system is contained in Appendices B and J.
The service station Model Plant 1 was divided into two categories,
one to represent public service stations (6,000 gal/month) and one to
represent private service stations (2,000 gal/month) (see more detailed
discussion in Section 2.3.1). Costing for each of these model plants
was handled separately. The physical equipment was considered the same
at each facility, but the annualized cost differed because the through-
puts and resultant recovery credits differed for each model plant.
2.5.2.4 Onboard Unit Costs. The new J-tube onboard technology
also affected the per-vehicle costs. Table 2-20 contains a breakdown
of the per-vehicle onboard hardware costs used in the July 1984 document
and the per-vehicle costs used in the new analysis. The new analysis
costs are derived and explained in detail in Chapter 2 of the document,
"Evaluation of Air Pollution Regulatory Strategies for Gasoline Market-
Ing Industry — Response to Public Comments," referenced in Chapter 1
of this document. The costs in Table 2-20 include the control of excess
evaporative emissions and represent the initial onboard system costs.
In the July 1984 analysis, the costs throughout the study period did
not change from the initial $13.32 for light-duty vehicles (LDV) and
$18.19 for light-duty trucks (LOT). For the new analysis., the costs
change with time to reflect lower costs after recovering initial
engineering, research, and development costs, and to reflect the smaller
carbon canisters needed for smaller fuel tanks on future higher mileage
vehicles projected by the MOBILES model (see footnote e in Table 2-20).
In addition, the new analysis expands onboard coverage to include
heavy-duty gasoline vehicles (HDSV) and, therefore, incorporates costs
for onboard controls on heavy-duty vehicles.
Projections of cost impacts for the onboard strategy in the new
analysis were based on revised projections of new vehicle registration
and of vehicle miles traveled by vehicles equipped with onboard controls.
Table 2-12 contained the projections for vehicle miles traveled;
Table 2-21 contains the projections for vehicle registrations* All
vehicle-related projections were obtained from EPA's MOBILES fuel
consumption model.

The analysis also incorporates recovery credits for the onboard
system. In the July 1984 analysis, it was assumed that the added weight
of the onboard system would offset any potential recovery credits.
Since the amount available for recovery (higher emissions due to
increased RVP) increased, the new analysis considers the net fuel
savings, taking into account the weight penalty of the onboard system,
obtained over the life of the vehicle. Table 2-22 contains the
refueling recovery credit factors used in the onboard cost analysis.
2.5.2.b Costs of Excess Evaporative Controls. For purposes of
evaluating the excess evaporative strategy, the cost, emissions, and
risk impacts were analyzed. Table 2-23 summarizes the per-vehicle
costs, emission factors, and recovery credits associated with excess
evaporative controls. Since the emission factors consist of only the
"excess" evaporative emissions not being collected by the current
canister system, a properly designed evaporative canister would elimi-
nate all "excess" emissions. Therefore, it is assumed that the strategy
will provide 100 percent control of the excess evaporative emissions.
Projections for the nationwide impacts of this strategy are based on
the same vehicle miles traveled and vehicle registration data used in
the onboard projections.
The costs presented in Table 2-23 decrease in 1994 because the
initial engineering costs are assumed to be recouped in the first
5 years (1990-1994). Unlike onboard, excess evaporative control costs
are constant after 1995 since future increased fuel economy and the
resultant smaller fuel tank do not affect excess evaporative emissions
and, therefore, excess evaporative hardware.
2.5.3 Control Options
Nationwide cost impacts for the regulatory strategies were calcu-
lated in a manner similar to that used in the July 1984 analysis. For
non-service station sectors, per-facility costs were multiplied by the
number of controlled facilities (see Table 2-9) to establish a cost in
the base year. Costs then varied with time based on recovery credits
changing proportional to the changes in gasoline consumption. Several
new concepts were added to the nationwide analysis of service station
costs. The greatest impacts resulted from the inclusion of service
station facility projections in each year (see Section 2.3.2). In the

new analysis, projected declines in gasoline consumption yield fewer
public facilities over time rather than a constant number of smaller
public facilities. (The nuiriber of private facilities is still assumed
to be constant.) The projection method and the detailed per-facility
costs allowed for the cost distinction to be made between Stage II
installations at new facilities and at retrofit facilities. The
projection method kept track of new and existing facilities separately,
and the detailed per-facility cost model enabled the distinction to be
made in piping and trenching costs between new construction and retrofit
installations. The detailed per-facility cost model also separated
the aboveground, or dispenser, equipment from the underground piping.
This allowed the calculation of annualized costs using a capital recovery
factor based on the different expected lives of the underground and
aboveground equipment (35 years and 8 years, respectively). —
Other modifications to the cost analysis, similar to emissions and
risk, were as follows:
o onboard per-vehicle costs were increased; however, .this was off-
set by the inclusion of recovery credits (Section 2.5.2);
o excess evaporative control costs, including recovery credits,
were added in considering these controls as a separate strategy
(Section 2.3.3);
o onboard and evaporative controls were considered for only 49
States (California excluded because Stage II and RVP controls
already implemented) (Section 2.3.3);
o Stage II controls would be required for the rest of the State of
California under the 49-State onboard strategy (Section 2.3.3);
o heavy-duty vehicle controls were included for both the onboard
and excess evaporative regulatory strategies (Section 2.3.3);
o net present value streams were adjusted to reflect the new
start dates for the regulatory strategies (Section 2.3.3);
o bulk terminal carbon adsorber costs were adjusted to respond
to comments (Section 2.5.2); and
o recovery credits for all facilities were adjusted to reflect
new emission factors, updated gasoline costs, and revised
gasoline consumption projections (Section 2.5.1).
2-56
-------
Table 2-24 summarizes the revised annual costs for the control
options and Table 2-25 summarizes the annual costs for the regulatory
strategies. As with the emission tables, the ranges shown for Stage
II nationwide costs are from minimal enforcement (7-year phase-in) to
annual enforcement (3-year phase-in). For Stage II in nonattainment
areas the range is from minimal enforcement, high-difficulty phase-in
to annual enforcement, low-difficulty phase-in. Enforcement costs,
discussed in Section 2.8, are included in these cost estimates.
Stage II non-installations associated with minimal enforcement
were handled differently in the new analysis. In the July 1984
analysis, all non-installations were considered equivalent to no equip-
ment installed, and the facilities were completely excluded from the
cost analysis. In evaluating the new in-use data it was determined
that most of the non-installations (TO of the 14 percent) were at
stations with at least some equipment installed. For these cases it
was assumed the facility had installed all underground piping, and had
simply not installed all the aboveground equipment. The cost of the
aboveground equipment not installed was excluded from the analysis.
For the other 4 percent of the non-installations, it was assumed that
no vapor recovery equipment, above- or belowground, had been installed.
These facilities were, therefore, completely excluded from the cost
analysis. Appendix 0 discusses in-use efficiencies and non-install-
ations in greater detail.
2.6 RISK ANALYSIS
The general methodology employed in the July 1984 analysis for
assessing risk was not changed. Several adjustments were made, how-
ever, for the sake of consistency and to correct errors. In the list
of adjustments shown below, the first two affect only the baseline
risk estimates while all of the adjustments affect the projected risk
reductions due to the regulatory strategies. Adjustments include"
the:
o incorporation of revised gasoline consumption and VMT projec-
tions (Section 2.3.2);
o reassessment of the original baseline control levels based on new
input data (Section 2.4.1);
o incorporation of new emission factors (Section 2.1);

2.6.1 Risk Factors
Several comments were received concerning the benzene and gasoline
vapor risk factors. One commenter brought to the Agency's attention
new information on benzene exposure from a California study (I-F-103).
This new information on benzene was evaluated along with the previous
available information by EPA's Carcinogen Assessment Group (CAG). The
CAS also re-evaluated the API data used to develop the gasoline vapor
risk factors as a result of comments from the Science Advisory Board
(SAB), in which a correction to the API data was provided. On the
basis of the re-evaluation of the benzene studies, including the new
California study, CAG provided a new benzene risk factor that is about
17 percent higher than the one used in the original analysis. The
CAG's re-evaluation of the API data resulted in a decrease of about 11
percent in the gasoline vapor risk factors. Table 2-26 summarizes the
revised risk factors used in the new analysis.
2.6.2 Occupational Exposure
A significant addition to the risk analysis was the inclusion of
the evaluation of occupational exposure reductions associated with the
vehicle refueling strategies. Both Stage II and onboard controls would
reduce not only community and self-service exposures, but also exposures
to the service station attendants. The base year occupational incidence
and lifetime risk from high exposure were calculated for benzene and
gasoline vapors based on time-weighted average concentrations reported in
an industrial hygiene study conducted by Shell Oil (I-F-14I), Several

assumptions had to be made to project occupational incidences into the
future, because little data were available. The assumptions for projecting
occupational exposures included:
o assuming the changes in baseline occupational incidence with
time are proportional to the changes in total service station
gasoline throughput;
o assuming that reductions in occupational incidence would be
equal to 75 percent of the combined reduction achieved under
each strategy for service station and self-service incidence
(i.e., some occupational exposures from garage or cleaning
activities will not be reduced by vehicle refueling controls);
and
o assuming service station Stage I controls have no effect on
occupational incidence;,
Appendix H contains a detailed discussion of the methodology used to
estimate incidence associated with occupational exposure.
2.6.3 Baseline Risks
Table 2-27 contains the baseline average annual incidence and life-
time risk from high exposure calculated under the new analysis. Ranges
of values, used in the July 1984 analysis, have been eliminated to
simplify the data presentation and calculations. The gasoline vapor
risk values are based on the plausible upper limit of the API rat
studies. Table 2-28 presents the incidence reductions for the regula-
tory strategies calculated in the new analysis. Values in Table 2-28
represent the sum of the benzene and gasoline vapor incidence reductions.
Since the benzene and gasoline vapor studies indicate that tumor sites
occur in separate body systems (kidney or liver cancer for gasoline
vapors, leukemia for benzene), it is assumed that reduction of refueling
emissions would reduce risk by the sum of the benzene and gasoline
vapor incidence reductions. Figure 2-7 illustrates the incidence
reduction that occurs with time for the onboard and Stage II strategies.
2.6.4 Hazardous Fraction of Sasoline Vapors
Several commenters stated that the incidence due to gasoline
vapors is due only to the fraction of the vapors containing primarily
branched chain aliphatic hydrocarbons having 6-9 carbon atoms. A

conservative estimate based on data from API (I-D-51), HEI (I-A-66),
and EPA (I-A-67) indicates that the ratio of Cg-Cg compounds in the
liquid to Cg-Cg compounds in the vapors is a factor of about 4 to 1.
Using this assumption, the gasoline vapor risks would be reduced by a
factor of 4. Table 2-29 illustrates the impacts these revisions would
have on the average annual baseline incidence for the gasoline marketing
category.
2.7 ECONOMIC IMPACTS
' In order to respond to comments concerning the economic impacts
of controls, the Agency re-evaluated several facility cost estimates
and all costs were updated to third-quarter 1984 dollars. Also, the
number of service stations in each size class was projected for each
year of the analysis. Finally, two alternative exemption options were
considered.
• The estimated gasoline retail price increases expected from the
nationwide regulatory strategies range from O.lQ^/yallon for Staye I
with exemptions, to 0.62^/gallon for Stage,,II with no exemptions.
The national reduction in gasoline consumption predicted to result
ranges from 33 million to 217 million gallons per year. Under onboard
and excess evaporative control, vehicle prices would increase by about
0.2 percent. Vehicle sales could decrease by a similar percentage, or
the decrease could be less if purchasers were aware of the cost savings
resulting from fuel recovery by the system.
Reductions in gasoline consumption attributable to higher gasoline
prices would result in the closure of some service stations. The new
analysis estimates that, under Stage II nationwide, between 150 and
560 public service stations would close (0.09 to 0.33 percent of the
1990 station population). Under Stage II in 61 nonattainment areas„
between 50 and 250 stations would close (0.03 to 0.15 percent of the
1990 population).
Appendix E discusses the methodologies and more detailed results
of the reanalysis of economic impacts.
2.8 ENFORCEMENT COST IMPACTS

minimal, bi-annual, annual, and quarterly enforcement scenarios. In

-------
the revised analysis, calculations were performed only for minimal and
annual enforcement. Minimal enforcement represented the low end of
the range of actual enforcement practice, while annual enforcement
represented the high end of the range of actual enforcement. These
enforcement levels define the range for the calculation of Stage II
impacts.
The calculation methodology used in the new analysis is identical
to that used in the July 1984 analysis. Enforcement is determined on a
per-facility basis and then multiplied by the number of .affected
facilities. However, three changes have been incorporated into the new
analysis. First, since the number of service stations changes with time
and since the enforcement costs are based on the number of facilities,
the enforcement costs associated with Stage II change with time.
Second, the average salary figure for a field inspector was increased
to respond to comments. The yearly wage was adjusted from the 1982
base year value of $3U,000 per year to the 1984 base year value of
$38,200 per year. Third, enforcement impacts were considered negligible
for the onboard and evaporative control scenarios. It was assumed that
these programs could be absorbed into the existing vehicle certification
program at no additional cost. However, enforcement costs were
associated with the 49-State onboard scenario to account for the
additional enforcement of Stage II controls required in the current
uncontrolled areas of California. All other inspection times, frequen-
cies, and legal and clerical assumptions remained the same as in the
July 1984 analysis. Table 2-30 summarizes the enforcement costs asso-
ciated with the regulatory strategies under the new analysis.
2.8.2 Onboard Enforcement Costs
In the July 1984 analysis, enforcement costs were estimated at an
additional $150,000/year. This cost was based on the inclusion of
onboard system inspections in the existing vehicle certification programs,
In the new analysis, it was assumed that the onboard inspections would be
incorporated into the existing vehicle certification program at no
additional cost. The only enforcement costs associated with the new
onboard strategy are the costs of enforcing requirements for the new
Stage II systems that would be required in the areas of California that
are currently uncontrolled.

3.0 SUMMARY OF THE ANALYSIS
The impacts of the changes made to the analysis, which are
summarized in Chapter 2, are presented in this chapter. Results are
presented for the regulatory strategies calculated under the new
analysis (Section 3.1); the cost effectiveness for cancer cases
avoided (Section 3.2); the incremental cost effectiveness for
increasingly stringent levels of control and for various baselines
(Section 3.3); impacts given certain assumptions concerning other
benefits and other exemption levels (Section 3.4); a comparison of
impacts of several control strategies in selected areas (Section 3.5);
and sensitivity analyses on costs, RVP of dispensed gasoline, and -
regulatory coverage for onboard (Section 3.6).
3.1 REGULATORY STRATEGIES
Tables 3-1 and 3-2 summarize the impacts of the regulatory
strategies calculated under the new analysis. Table 3-1 presents the
impacts as analyzed over the entire 33-year analysis period (1988-
2020). Values for emission and risk reductions are shown for both the
average annual values (33-year cumulative total divided by 33) and the
annual!zed values (1988 net present value of all years to 2020 reannual-
ized to represent a constant stream of values). Cost effectiveness is
shown as both net present value dollars per net present value megagram
of VOC reduced, and as net present value dollars per net present value
cancer case avoided* The dollars per case avoided does not consider
any other benefit value for reducing VUC emissions. Table 3-2 contains
values similar to those in Table 3-1, except that the values in Table
3-2 represent the impacts of the regulatory strategies in the future
after full imp lenient at ion of the strategies is complete (the year 201U
was selected to represent this steady state condition).
3.2 COST EFFECTIVENESS
Tables 3-3, 3-4, and 3-5 further evaluate the cost per cancer
case avoided analysis. These three tables, indicating benzene only
impacts, benzene plus EPA estimate of gasoline vapor impacts, and
benzene plus Cg and greater gasoline vapor impacts, respectively,
analyze the cost per cancer case avoided assuming that various dollar
values are assigned as additional benefits for reducing VOC emissions.

aRanges of values represent the range of efficiencies found between a Stage II program of minimal enforcement and an active
(annual) enforcement program. For nationwide strategies, the range is from minimal enforcement (7-year phase-In), to annual
enforcement (3-year phase-in). For nonattalnment area strategies, the range 1s from minimal enforcement, high-difficulty
phase-in to annual enforcement, low-difficulty phase-in. If no range 1s indicated, the upper and lower values vary by less
than 10 percent and the average is presented.

Table 3-6 summarizes the impacts associated with nationwide

3.3 INCREMENTAL ANALYSIS
An incremental cost effectiveness analysis was performed to deter-
mine the cost effectiveness (both in $/Mg of VOC reduced and in
I/incidence avoided) of moving from one level of control to the next
level. This serves as input to determine whether it is prudent to go
the "extra step" in controlling emissions or incidence. Two analyses
are presented. In the first, regulatory strategies are evaluated
incremental to each other. In the second, regulatory strategies are
compared incremental to different baselines.
Tables 3-7 and 3-8 present the analysis of strategies incremental
to each other. The analysis starts with the assumption that a decision
had been made to implement evaporative controls, since this strategy
was the most cost effective. Then the costs to go the "extra step" to
the next strategy, Stage II in 27 nonattaintnent areas plus evaporative
controls, are calculated. Finally., given the assumption that it was
prudent to go the extra step to Stage II in 27 areas plus evaporative
controls, the costs to go the next step to either Stage II-nationwide
plus evaporative or onboard are calculated. Table 3-7 presents the
incremental cost effectiveness on a $/Mg of VOC reduced basis and Table
3-8 presents the incremental cost effectiveness on a I/incidence
avoided basis.
Tables 3-9 and 3-10 present the analysis of strategies incremental
to different baselines. For Table 3-9, it was assumed that a decision
to implement evaporative controls had been made. Table 3-9 then illus-
trates the impacts of taking the "extra step" from evap to implement
either Stage II in 27 areas or onboard in 49 States. For Table 3-10,
it was assumed that a decision had been made to implement Stage II in
27 areas in addition to evaporative controls. Table 3-10 then illus-
trates the impacts of taking the "extra step" to either Stage II or
onboard controls nationwide.

3.4 STAGE II AND ONBUARD IMPACTS CONSIDERING OTHER BENEFITS
Table 3-11 summarizes the benefits associated with each regulatory
scenario, given values for cancer incidences avoided (due to benzene and
gasoline vapors) and for reduction of VOC emissions. The cost
effectiveness values in this table assume that onboard costs are borne
nationally, but VOC emission reductions are credited only in the designated
nonattainment areas (27 or 61 areas). The calculations first show the
cost effectiveness of the regulatory scenario for VOC emission reductions
in various nonattainment area groupings with no additional benefits.
Then the benefits associated with reducing cancer incidences due to
benzene, if a cancer incidence is worth $7.5 million, are shown. Next,
the benefit of reducing VOC emissions in attainment areas is added
(assuming $2bO/Mg). Then the benefit associated with reducing incidences
due to Cg gasoline vapors is added. Finally, the benefit associated
with reducing incidences from total gasoline vapors is presented. The
resultant cost effectiveness values shown in the table indicate the
$/Mg benefit required for VOC emissions in nonattainment areas in order
for all benefits to equal costs.
In earlier analyses in this document, an exemption level of 10,000
gallons per month for non-independents and less than 50,000 gallons per
month for independents was shown on all tables. The 50,000 gallon per
month exemption was based on the requirements set on EPA under Section
325(a) of the Clean Air Act. However, Section 325(b) indicates States
are not limited by this exemption level and can require controls for
independents less than 50,000 gallons per month through their State
Implementation Plans. Therefore, this part'of the analysis also shows
the impacts of other exemption levels (<2S000 and <10,000 gallons per
month for all stations).
3.5 STAGE II AND ONBOARD IMPACTS IN SELECTED AREAS .
Several analyses were conducted to focus on the impacts of Stage II
and onboard refueling control strategies in different selected areas.
The areas evaluated were nationwide and two of the nonattainment area
groupings described in Section 2.3.3 of Chapter 2 (27 and 61 areas).
As discussed in Section 2.3.3.1 of Chapter 2, the assumptions
concerning the start dates and the schedule to complete equipment
installation for nonattainment strategies were evaluated, and
three potential start date/phase-in scenarios (low, moderate, and

high difficulty) were examined. The low difficulty scenario maintains
the 3-year equipment phase-in used in the 1984 analysis. The
moderate difficulty scenario has the same Federal Register announcement
date, but assumes that the implementation of the regulation would take
about 6 months longer than the low difficulty scenario. The moderate
difficulty scenario also assumes a 3-1/2-year equipment phase-in.
The high difficulty scenario assumes a start date 1 year later than the
moderate difficulty scenario and includes a 5-1/2-year equipment phase-
in. In addition, as noted in Section 3.4, three service station size
exemptions are shown on the tables, instead of just one, to provide
information on more stringent exemption levels.
3.5,1 Onboard and StageII in Selected Nonattainment Areas
Table 3-12 illustrates the emission reduction, cost, and cost
effectiveness impacts for onboard and Stage II strategies. The table
also shows the impacts of various exemption levels for Stage II. As
indicated in the table, lower exemption levels can achieve higher emis-
sion reductions and incidence reductions but at a higher cost effective-
ness. In addition, the costs for service stations on the margin become
significantly higher as the exemption level becomes smaller. For
example, the cost effectiveness for Stage II controls at a 2,000 yallon-
per-month station is $13,OOU-$10,5UU/Mg while the cost effectiveness
for a 80,UOO gallon-per-month station is $1,400-$!,OUO/Mg. Figures 3-1
and 3-H illustrate the percent emission reduction with time for onboard
in nonattainment areas compared to two Stage II exemption levels.
Figures are shown for percent reduction of refuel ing-only emissions
and percent reduction of refuelihg-plus-emptying emissions.
3.5.2 Combination of Onboard and Stage II in Selected Nonattatnment Areas
Figure 3-3 illustrates the emission reduction impacts of combining
Stage II and onboard control strategies. The example shown in the
figure is for Stage II and onboard emission reductions in nonattainment
areas.t Stage II is assumed installed for one 8 year equipment cycle
since, at the end of this first cycle, onboard emission reductions are
nearly equal to Stage II. At that time, it is assumed that the Stage
II equipment is not replaced. Table, 3-13 summarizes the impacts of a
Stage II requirement incremental to onboard controls. Emission reductions
and incidence reductions are shown for the 8-year cycle analyzed.
Costs, however, are annualized over the entire 33-year analysis.

Aboveground equipment is amortized over the 8-year equipment cycle
but underground piping, purchased at the installation period, is amortized
over the 35-year lifetime of the piping. The example shown in Figure
3-3 and Table 3-13 indicates the costs associated with this combination,
and how the combination of the two strategies may increase emission
reduction in the initial years of the analysis.
3.6 SENSITIVITY ANALYSES
3.6.1 Sensitivity to Various Cost Assumptions for Stage II and Onboard
A sensitivity analysis for Stage II and onboard costs was conducted
to determine the impacts on the results of the analysis of using the
high and low ends of the cost range. For Stage II costs, ranges were
developed that reflected the high and low cost estimates for system
components (e.g., nozzles, swivels, coaxial hoses, etc.) and variations
in the distances from the underground tanks to the dispensers (affects
underground piping and trenching costs). These high, low, and best
per-facility cost estimates were then run through the analysis.
Table 3-14 summarizes the results of the cost sensitivity analysis for
Stage II systems.
Table 3-15 summarizes the cost sensitivity analysis for onboard.
The onboard cost range was developed from the onboard hardware costs
and the range of onboard recovery credits. The low end of the onboard
cost range reflected the low onboard hardware costs (based on a small
variation in costs) and the high end of the recovery credits. The
best estimate costs were based on the high end of both the hardware
costs and the recovery credits. The high cost estimate was based on
the high hardware cost and the low recovery credit value.
Table 3-16 summarizes the cost sensitivity result's for Stage II
in nonattainment areas incremental to a nationwide onboard decision.
Table 3-17 summarizes the benefits, in a similar fashion to
Table 3-11, for the best cost estimates for a nationwide Stage II or
onboard decision. [See Section 3.4 for more discussion of this Table.]
3.6.2 Inconvenience Cost Sensitivity Analysis
In addition to the facility cost sensitivity analysis, Stage II costs
were further evaluated to consider "inconvenience" costs. Inconvenience
costs are those additional consumer costs associated with handling the
heavier, bulkier and different Stage II vapor recovery nozzles compared

'Ranges of values represent the range of efficiencies achieved between a program of minimal enforcement and an active
(annual) enforcement program. For nationwide strategies, the range is from minimal enforcement {7-year phase-in), to
annual enforcement (3-year phase-In). For nonattainment area strategies, the range Is from minimal enforcement, high-
difficulty phase-in to annual enforcement, low-difficulty phase-In.
DIf an inconvenience cost of 0.3^/gal is assumed, the Stage II costs would double, resulting in a doubling of all
cost effectiveness values (see Section 3.6.2).

to conventional refueling equipment. Rather than attempt to quantify
this inconvenience cost^ an analysis was performed to determine how
much inconvenience cost (on a per-gallon basis) would be needed to
double the cost effectiveness of the Stage II strategy.
To double the cost effectiveness (assuming a constant emission
reduction), the costs associated with the strategy would have to double.
The annualized cost of the nationwide Stage II strategy (without evapor-
ative controls) was calculated as $170-$190 million (Table 3-1). The
average gasoline consumption in the new analysis was about 80 billion
gallons per year (see Table 2-4 in Chapter 2) and a Stage II strategy
that exempts nonindependents less than 10,UOO gallons/month and indepen-
dents less than 50,000 gal Ions/month .would control about 75 percent of
the throughput after full implementation. Therefore, an inconvenience
cost of approximately 0.3 | per gallon would double the cost effective-
ness of the nationwide Stage II strategy.

tions at bulk terminals, bulk plants, and service stations, the
national average value for gasoline RVP of 12.6 psi was used in the
emission equations (see Section 2.1 of Chapter 2), The EPA is currently
investigating the impacts of a nationwide reduction in RVP during the
summer months (ozone season). For purposes of this sensitivity analysis
it was assumed that the RVP would be reduced to 9 psi during the five
ozone season months (May-September). This case gives a consumption-
weighted nationwide (excluding California, which currently controls
RVP) annual average RVP of 11.3 psi.
Impacts have been summarized for both RVP assumptions (12.6 and
11.3 psi) and are presented side-by-side for comparison. .Table 3-18
presents annual baseline emission estimates for 1984, the 33-year
analysis period, and the year 2010. Table 3-19 presents emission
reductions, annual!zed costs, and cost effectiveness figures for onboard,
Stage II, and Stage I. In some cases, such as the annualized costs for
Stage II, there appears to be no difference between costs for an RVP of
12.6 or 11.3. There is, however, a slight difference that is lost when
rounding the values for presentation in the table. Table 3-20 summarizes
the cost effectiveness of onboard and Stage II strategies under the two
RVP assumptions, considering the benefit value of cancer incidence

reductions. The change in impacts due to this RVP change would be
quite small; the cost effectiveness is slightly worse for all strategies
under the lower RVP assumption.
3.6.4 Comparison of49-State and 50-State Onboard Strategy
As a further sensitivity analysis, a comparison was made between an
onboard strategy for 49 States (all States except California) and for
all 5U States. Table 3-21 contains a summary of the assumptions included
in both the 49-State and 50-State onboard analyses. Table 3-22 summarizes
the results of the comparison of these two strategies incremental from
an excess evaporative strategy. The costs, emission reductions, and
cost effectiveness are essentially the same for each strategy. On the
surface, it would appear that the 50-State onboard costs should be
higher. However, the added cost of onboard on cars in California is
offset by the cost benefits associated with removing existing Stage II
in California (i.e., elimination of Stage II maintenance and enforcement
costs).
For emissions, the 50-State onboard strategy would achieve somewhat
more emission reduction than the 49-State strategy after full implementation
is achieved, because of onboard's greater in-use efficiency. However,
when the emission reduction is calculated on an average annual or
annualized basis, the additional long-term emission reduction associated
with onboard is offset by the longer phase-in associated with onboard
controls.
3.6.5 Impact of Onboard Start-Date
Table 3-23 presents the impacts of delaying the implementation of
the onboard strategy by 1 year, from the 1989 to the 1990 model year.
The table indicates that the emissions and incidence reductions and
costs differ only slightly between these two assumptions. Furthermore,
the difference in cost effectiveness is small enough to be lost in the
rounding off process.

-------
APPENDIX A
ESTIMATION OF IN-USE EFFICIENCY FOR VEHICLE REFUELING
In the analysis published by EPA in July of 1984, a methodology
was outlined that estimated the in-use control efficiency of Stage II
and onboard control systems. The in-use efficiency estimate for
Stage II systems was based on 1978-79 survey data on California and
Washington, D.C., Stage II installations. Data were obtained on types
and frequencies of malfunctions, defects, and tampering, and estimates
were made of the decrease in efficiency that could be expected due to
each malfunction or defect. The in-use efficiency estimate for onboard
control systems was based on the latest vehicle tampering surveys. The
in-use efficiencies assumed in the 1984 EPA analysis were as follows:
Stage II (minimal enforcement) - 56 percent, Stage II (annual enforcement)
- 86 percent, and onboard - 92 percent.
Many comments were received during the comment period regarding
in-use efficiencies. Most comments centered around the Stage II
system and the fact that EPA's in-use efficiency estimate did not
reflect the latest Stage II technology. Therefore, a search was made
to determine if new data existed for updating the estimated in-use
efficiency of Stage II and onboard vehicle refueling technologies. The
following sections summarize the findings of the new EPA in-use
analysis. .
A.I ONBOARD
The July 1984 EPA analysis was based upon the use of an onboard
system that incorporated a rigidly installed nozzle/fill neck seal (see
Figure A-l). This type of seal is subject to complete failure whenever
tampering motivated by fuel switching occurs. This occurs rather fre-
quently as a result of motorists' attempts to remove the fillpipe res-
trictor that limits loading to unleaded gasoline. As discussed in
Section 2.1 of this document, EPA's Office of Mobile Sources has evalu-
ated a new design concept for the onboard control system. The new
onboard design, shown in Figure A-2, uses a "J-tube" which forms a
liquid seal to contain the vapors during refueling and eliminate any
efficiency decrease associated with fuel switching-motivated tampering.
The EPA now believes that most manufacturers will utilize the liquid trap

approach, rather than an elastomer seal, which would virtually eliminate
fillpipe tampering as a source of control performance degradation.
Therefore, only the charcoal canister and hose tampering rates plus
malmaintenance and defects in these areas were used in calculating the
revised in-use efficiencies.
Assuming average lifetime periods of 100,000 miles for LDV's,
120,000 miles for LDT's, and 110,000 miles for HDGV's, the average
(midpoint) tampering rate for vehicles in each class would be 2.67,
3.29, and 3.12 percent, respectively. On a fleet-weighted basis, this
averages to about 2.8 percent.
For purposes of emissions modeling, it was assumed that tampering
would completely disable the control system and that control efficiency
would be zero. This would happen if the canister were removed or if
the feed or purge lines were cut completely. This is clearly conserva-
tive, since less severe forms of tampering would not reduce system
efficiency as completely.
Tampering has been estimated to reduce the in-use efficiency
of onboard controls by about 3,7 percent over the long term (I-B-18).
This is not equivalent to a doubling of the 2.8 percent mentioned
above, primarily because more fuel is consumed early in the fleet life
when tampering rates are low.
To reflect the impacts due to less frequent tampering, the new
analysis incorporates an in-use onboard efficiency of 93 percent
rather than the 92 percent used in the 1984 EPA analysis.
A.2 STAGE II - ANNUAL ENFORCEMENT
Data were requested from the State of California to update the
estimate of Stage II efficiency under an annual enforcement scenario
(considered as the upper end of the Stage II in-use efficiency range).
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) had recently completed a sur-
vey of'Stage II systems wherein over 11,000 nozzles at over 1,200
service stations were inspected (I-F-78). Based on this survey, CARB
estimated an average in-use efficiency ranging between 80 and 92 per-
cent. However, the data collected could not be separated sufficiently
to estimate the -in-use efficiency of only third-generation, or
A-4
-------
latest technology. Stage II control systems. This separation of data
would be necessary to satisfy the commenters who felt the in-use
efficiency estimate should reflect only the latest technology.
Limited additional data were obtained concerning Stage II inspec-
tions in the Bay Area and Ventura County portions of California. These
data were considered too limited to form a basis for changing the esti-
mated frequency of defects used to represent the entire State of
California.
The GARB also made its own estimates of the decrease in efficiency
expected with specific defects. A copy of these estimates was requested
to compare or update the estimated efficiency decreases assumed by EPA
in its original analysis (I-C-48). The CARB did not use specific values
of efficiency decrease associated with defects, but rather used ranges of
values. However, the ranges used were so broad (i.e., 0-100, 1U-1UO,
etc.) that the calculated efficiency decreases used in the original EPA
analysis were still considered to be reasonable estimates.
Since data on the frequency of defects and the efficiency decrease
associated with each defect could not be updated, and 86 percent is the
midpoint of the CARB range (80 to 92 percent), the revised analysis
continues to estimate the upper end of the Stage II in-use efficiency
range at 86 percent.
In the July 1984 analysis, the Stage II annual enforcement in-
use efficiency was estimated under a "State" enforcement program (88
percent) and under a "Federal" program of enforcement (86 percent).
The Federal program in-use efficiency was slightly less because it was
assumed the Federal program was a less direct form of inspections
(i.e., NOV sent rather than tag out-of-order). Since EPA could not
predict the actual mode of enforcement, the analysis is based on the
Federal approach (assumed to be the approach used by EPA).
A.3 STAGE II - MINIMAL ENFORCEMENT
Minimal enforcement, or the lower end of the Stage II efficiency
range, is based on defects and tampering frequency information gathered
in Washington, D.C. In the summer of 1984, EPA completed an inspection
program (I-A-61) of every active service station in the Washington,
D.C., area. During these inspections, a record was made of the types
A-5
-------
of defects or tampering found at each station. A total of about 170
service stations were visited and data were gathered on over 1,850
nozzles. It should be noted that since all but one station inspected
had balance systems, the data from the Washington, D.C., inspection
program could only be used to update the information on balance systems.
In addition, difficulties arose in trying to use the published summary
data for in-use efficiency calculation purposes. For example* data
were summarized separately for instances when the nozzle boot was not
installed and when the nozzle face seal was not installed. It could
not be determined whether these two defects occurred on one nozzle or two
separate nozzles, or how the efficiency decreases of these defects
should be combined to determine impacts on all systems. Therefore, the
raw data sheets were reanalyzed to produce more useful data summaries
for the calculation of in-use efficiencies.
Table A-l presents the revised summary of defects based on the raw
data from the Washington, D.C., inspection program. Also presented in
Table A-l are the estimated efficiency decreases_that can be csxpected
with each defect. The following sections describe the categories of
defects used in the table.
o Vapor Recovery Equipment'Not Installed. Instances where
equipment was not installed fell into two categories at the
facilities inspected: 1} facilities that had not installed any
vapor recovery equipment, and 2) facilities that had installed
recovery equipment on some nozzles but not on others. The
facilities that .had not installed any vapor recovery equipment
constituted about 4 percent of all nozzles surveyed. About 9,9
percent of the nozzles surveyed remained uncontrolled even
though other nozzles at the same station were controlled. In
both cases, an efficiency decrease of 100 percent was assigned
to an occurrence of non-installation since no vapor recovery
equipment is installed and no capture takes place.
o Nozzle Damage. Twenty-four cases of nozzle damage (1.3 percent
of all nozzles) were reported on the raw data sheets. No par-
ticulars were given as to the extent of damage or even the type
of damage. Since no further data could be obtained from the

inspection report, it was assumed that the decrease ini effi-
ciency attributed to this defect (22 percent) would be the same
as used in the 1984 EPA analysis for improper nozzle maintenance.
o High Hose Retractor Not Installed. The inspection report docu-
mented that 331 nozzles (17.9 percent of the nozzles inspected)
did not have high-hang hose retractors installed, even though
the remainder of the vapor recovery equipment was in place.
The retractors provide counterweight to the nozzle and hose
assembly during vehicle refueling and hold the vapor hose
upward after completion of refueling to allow proper drainage
of any entrained liquid. They were added to the latest Stage
II system designs in order to minimize liquid blockage in the
vapor hoses. These retractors were installed to enhance emission
capture; however, the reduction in efficiency due to the lack
of retractors could not be estimated. It was assumed that the
efficiency decrease would be similar to that estimated for
misinstallation in the 1984 EPA analysis (5 percent). Mis-
Installations were defined in that analysis as improperly laid
vapor piping which resulted in increased backpressure in the
vapor line. The backpressure is due to liquid blockage caused
by a lack of proper drainbaek of condensed vapors. It was,
therefore, considered appropriate to apply a 5 percent: efficiency
reduction to the case of non-installation of high-hang hose
retractors since the same problem (possible increased backpressure
due to liquid blockage in the vapor hose) could occur.
o Retractor Broken. There were a reported 296 cases (16 percent
of all nozzles) where the high-hang hose retractor was broken.
This defect was assumed to have the same effect on efficiency
as the non-installation of the retractor. Therefore, a
5 percent efficiency, decrease was assigned to this defect.
o Boot and Face Seal,'orBoot Only, Not Insial1ed. The data
indicated 77 cases (4 percent of all nozzles) where the vapor
recovery nozzle was installed but there was no nozzle boot
and face seal installed or, at least, no nozzle boot in place.
The nozzle boot surrounds the nozzle spout and acts as,the
collector of displaced gasoline vapors at the nozzle/fill-
A-8
-------
neck interface. Without the nozzle boot, no collection can
take place. Therefore, an efficiency decrease of 1UO percent
was attributed to this defect,
o Face Seal Only, NotInstalled. The raw data indicated 12 cases
(0.6 percent of all nozzles) where the nozzle face seal was
missing, but all other vapor recovery equipment, including the
nozzle boot, was installed. The face seal is located at the
end of the nozzle boot and provides the primary seal when the
nozzle is pushed against the vehicle. Without the face seal, a
good seal cannot be made at the nozzle/fillneck interface and
some vapors can escape, thus decreasing the efficiency. Since
the nozzle boot itself is installed and still functioning, it
was assumed that a significant portion of the vapors would
still be collected. No quantitative information was available
concerning the actual loss in efficiency. It was estimated that
the lack of a face seal should cause an even larger decrease in
efficiency than the 10 percent decrease in efficiency asso-
ciated with significant tears in the face seal. Therefore, it
was assumed that the efficiency decrease associated with a
missing face .seal would be the same as that used in the previous
analysis for a combination of nozzle boot and face seal tears
(22 percent decrease in efficiency).
o Torn NozzleBoot. The inspection report indicated that 783
cases (42 percent of the nozzles) had some sort of tear in the
nozzle boot. There was no additional information on the raw
data sheets that specified the length or size of the boot
tears. To estimate the efficiency decrease due to this defect,
the assumptions used in the previous analysis were maintained.
In that analysis, it was assumed that the average nozzle tear
was 1.3 inches in length and that the resulting efficiency
decrease would be 30 percent.
o Torn Nozzle Face'Sea1. The raw data from the inspection
program documented 440 cases (24 percent of all nozzles) where
tears occurred in the nozzle face seal. Again, no quantitative
data were available with respect to the average size of a face
seal tear. Using the assumptions of the past analysis, an
efficiency decrease of 10 percent was attributed to this defect.
A-9
-------
o Vapor Hose Not Installed. The raw data from the inspection
survey indicated 21 instances (1 percent of all nozzles) where
the vapor hose was missing, but all other vapor recovery equip-
ment was installed. Obviously, if the vapor hose is not
installed there can be no recovery of vapors. Accordingly, an
efficiency decrease of 100 percent was assumed.
o Torn Vapor Hose. During the inspection program a total of 189
cases (10 percent of the nozzles) were found to have torn vapor
hoses. As before, no quantitative information was presented on
the data sheets to indicate the extent of the hose tears.
Therefore, the assumptions used in the 1984 EPA analysis to
estimate the efficiency decrease for this defect again had to
be assumed. These assumptions led to an efficiency decrease of
10 percent being attributed to this defect.
o No Seal-No Flow Mechanism Broken. A total of 100 cases
(5 percent of the nozzles) were reported where the no seal-no
flow mechanism was broken. This mechanism,forces the user to
make a good seal at the nozzle/filIneck interface or no
gasoline will flow through the nozzle for dispensing into the
vehicle. The seal is accomplished by pushing the nozzle boot
firmly against the vehicle. Without the no seal-no flow mech-
anism, an operator could pump gasoline regardless of whether a
proper seal had been made. The decrease in efficiency for this
defect could be anywhere from 0 to 100 percent, depending on
how hard the operator, pushed the nozzle. For calculation
purposes, .it was assumed that the decrease in efficiency would
be the same as that associated with no face seal installed, or
22 percent.
o Insufficient Hose Draining. A total of 72 cases (4 percent of
all nozzles) were reported with insufficient hose draining. A
clarification from the contractor who performed these tests
indicated that insufficient hose draining meant that, in the
inspector's judgment, there was sufficient liquid in the vapor
return hose to block essentially all vapor passage. The effi-
ciency decrease associated with this defect was, therefore,
estimated as 100 percent.
A-10
-------
There were several items summarized in the inspection report that
were not included in the estimation of in-use efficiency because they
were not considered to have a direct effect on efficiency. These items
included:
1) Nozzle hangup bracket damaged or not installed - Problems with
the hangup bracket may lead indirectly to nozzle or hose
damage, but cannot be cited as directly causing decreases in
efficiency;
2) Pressure shut-off broken - The pressure shut-off will
deactivate the nozzle due to excessive backpressure in the
vapor line and, if broken, will continue to pump gasoline.
This only becomes a problem when this backpressure failure
occurs simultaneously with a liquid blockage problem in the
vapor line. Since the causes of liquid blockage were already
accounted for in the items included in the calculations, it
was felt that the inclusion of this item would cause duplica-
tion;
3) Circulation shut-off broken - This pertains to the case when
the anti-recirculation mechanism is broken. This failure
may allow the recirculation of liquid through the vapor line
(given a nozzle shut-off failure). Although gasoline may be
inadvertently recirculated through the system, this failure
would not, in itself, result in a decrease in the system vapor
recovery efficiency;
4) Improper hose placement - The local control agency has a
requirement that hoses be placed in such a manner as to
minimize the possibility of being run over or damaged by
vehicles. Although improperly placing hoses may eventually
result in damage to the hoses, the act of improper hose
placement by itself does not result in lower efficiency. (The
results of improper placement would show up in the hose defect
category);
5) Inadequate nozzle removal delay - The local agency also has
a requirement that the nozzle be held in the vehicle for
10 seconds after completing refueling. The purpose of this
is to balance pressure between the vehicle tank and the
A-ll
-------
service station tank, thereby minimizing spills and spit-back.
The inspectors noted on their inspection sheets instances
when the consumer or the attendant failed to wait for the
required 10 seconds. Failure to comply with this requirement
would not affect the vapor control or collection efficiency
of the vapor recovery system.
A.4 CALCULATION OF EFFICIENCY (Minimal Enforcement Case)
Given the frequency of defects and the corresponding efficiency
decreases, the in-use efficiency could be calculated for the
minimal enforcement case. The following equation was used to
estimate the in-use efficiency:
Average
In-use
Efficiency « ET (100 - (Fi)(EDi)) (100 - (F2) (EU2))...
(100 - (FX)(EDX))
where:
ET = Theoretical efficiency (95 percent for balance systems),
Fx - Frequency of occurrence of defect x (percent).
EDX = Efficiency decrease associated with defect x (percent).
The actual in-use efficiency for a balance system (assuming ill
equipment installed) was calculated using the equation above and the
values in Table A-l as follows:
Average

a 7U.6 percent (for balance systems).
The in-use efficiencies for hybrid systems (78 percent) and for
vacuum assist systems (69 percent) were taken from the 1984 EPA analysis
since there were insufficient data available from the inspection program
A-12
-------
to revise these estimates. Given the same relative percentages of systems
(80% balance, 15% hybrid, and 5% vacuum assist), the nationwide weighted
average in-use efficiency for facilities that have vapor recovery
equipment installed on all nozzles would be:
Weighted Average = (0.8)(7U.6) + (O.lb)(78) + (0.05)(69)
= 71.6 percent.
The last step in the in-use efficiency calculation procedure
was to include the non-compliance or non-installations in the calcula-
tions. The data indicated that at facilities with at least some vapor
recovery equipment installed, 9.9 percent of the nozzles had no vapor
recovery. Assuming this would apply equally to all system types, the
in-use efficiency for those facilities with at least some equipment
instal led would be:
In-use Efficiency
For Facilities
-With At Least Some
Vapor Recovery
, Equipment Installed = (0.716) (1.00 - (.099)(1.00))
=64.5 percent.
The total nationwide in-use efficiency for the minimal enforcement
scenario must also take into account ;the facilities that have no
vapor recovery equipment installed at all. Therefore, the nationwide
in-use efficiency for all service stations under a minimal enforcement
scenario would be:
Nationwide
In-use
Efficiency
(Minimal
Enforcement) = (0.645) (1.00 - (.04)(1.00))
=62 percent.-.

APPENDIX B
STAGE II PER-FACILITY GUSTS
B.I INTRODUCTION
Cost data were obtained and developed on a per-facility basis for
each model plant size. These par-facility costs were then combined
with data on the number of facilities requiring controls within each
model plant category so that nationwide costs'could be determined.
The Agency obtained cost data from numerous sources (vendors,
equipment suppliers, and construction contractors) in determining
reasonable estimates for the capital and annualized costs that would be
incurred by installation of Stage II vapor recovery systems, due either
to retrofit on an existing facility or to the incorporation of controls
during construction of a new facility. All data were obtained during
the third and fourth quarters of 1984, and these values are taken to
represent third quarter 1984 costs. Information for determining Stage
II costs was compiled based on vapor recovery systems currently available
and certified in California; i.e., the individual balance system, the
manifolded balance system, the hybrid system, and two types of vacuum
assisted systems. The reasons for using only the systems currently
certified in California are that these systems are in actual operation
and have been demonstrated to meet the control efficiencies assumed in
this analysis, and detailed information is available on the exact
components that make up each approved system. The presented per-facility
cost estimates are based upon the 95 percent theoretical efficiency
since this is the efficiency at which the systems are certified.
However, when extrapolating these per-facility costs to nationwide or
nonattainment areas, in-use efficiencies are assumed.
Both the individual and manifolded balance systems are considered
in this analysis because each is currently certified for use in California
and because when the analysis effort was begun the magnitude of the
cost difference between the two systems was not known. The cost analysis
for the hybrid system is based solely on the Healy System, because this
1s the only one for which accurate cost data were available. Cost data
were not available from the other hybrid manufacturer, Red Jacket,
since this company's system is not currently being manufactured. The
B-2
-------
costs shown for the vacuum assist systems are based on the Hint system
and the Hasstech system. Throughout this appendixs the title Assist-
1 is used to denote the Hint Systems Assist-2 is used for the Hasstech
System, Hybrid is used for the Healy system, Bal-I is used to indicate
an individual balance system, and Bal-M is used for a manifolded
balance system.
Several terms are used during the discussion of Stage II capital
costs. The "purchase cost" of an item represents the manufacturer's
quoted selling price for the item. The "direct cost" of an item equals
the item's purchase cost plus the direct expenses incurred during the
installation of the item (e.g., labor, materials, and site preparation).
The "capital cost" of an item equals the sum of the item's direct cost
and its indirect cost (e.g., model study, contingencies, startup).
However, since Stage II systems are relatively small and simple, no
indirect costs are incurred. Therefore, in this case, the capital cost
of an item is the same as its direct cost. The cost components that
comprise the "annualized cost" of a Stage II system are defined as they
appear later in this discussion.
A summary of the aboveground and underground component cost analysis
is presented in Section B.2. Section B.3 presents the per-facility cost
results for retrofitting an existing facility, and Section B.4 presents
the costs for installation during the construction of a new facility.
8.2 COMPONENT COSTS
This section presents the capital and annualized costs of both the
aboveground (B.2.1) and underground (B.2.2) equipment components of a
Stage II system retrofitted to an existing service station. This
analysis incorporates the conclusion of Appendix I, which evaluated
Stage II dispenser configurations. The analysis presented here assumes
that all existing and new facilities incorporate coaxial hose configurations
and that one—fourth of the existing and three-fourths of the new
facilities will incorporate multiproduct dispensers.
The capital cost data for all Stage II vapor recovery systems were
re-evaluated and broken down into aboveground costs, which include
the costs for dispenser components, and underground costs, which include
the installation cost of an underground piping system. The capital
B-3
-------
recovery cost factor used to calculate annualized costs was based on an
equipment life of 8 years for the dispenser and auxiliary equipment,
and 35 years for the underground piping system.
B.2.1. Aboveground Costs
To calculate aboveground costs, EPA obtained a list of the above-
ground components certified for use in California. The vendors of the
components on this list were then contacted to obtain a current retail
price for each component. Finally, the price range for each individual
component type was averaged to arrive at a single price for each compo-
nent type.
Table B-l contains a component list of the equipment necessary to
modify an existing dispenser into a balance, or Hirt, Stage II vapor
recovery dispenser. This equipment list was obtained from an Executive
Order issued by the State of California Air Resources Board (G-70-52-AE:
Exhibit 2) (I-F-113)* and represents the equipment certified for use in
the Stage II systems. This table provides a list of manufacturers and
model numbers for each piece of equipment; other makes of the same
equipment are not certified and, thus, may not be used in California.
This Executive Order also presents exhibits (Exhibits 4-10) that depict
the dispenser configurations that may be used (see Figures B-l, through
B-7). Exhibits 8 through 10 depict multi-product dispensers,. Multi-
product dispensers, which are relatively new, offer three grades of
product on each side of the dispenser (six nozzles per dispenser).
B.2.1.1 Pispenser'Modification'Equipment Costs (Not Including
Nozzles)
A specific subset of the component list shown in Table B-l is
applicable to each exhibit, thereby providing a different cost for each
exhibit. The manufacturers of the components listed in Table B-l were
contacted to obtain current costs. These costs for each dispenser
type are summarized by exhibit number in Table B-2. This table lists
the lowest, highest, and average price of each component within each
exhibit configuration. In this manner, an average cost has been
obtained for the exhibit configurations shown in Figures B-l through
B-7. Based on the conclusions of Appendix I, the cost analysis

-------
is based on the use of all coaxial hoses and 75 percent single dispensers
(average of exhibits 5 and 6) and 25 percent multiproduct dispensers
(average of Exhibits 8-1U). This weighted average cost was used as the
purchase cost incurred when modifying a standard dispenser to a vapor
recovery equipped dispenser utilizing a balance Stage II vapor recovery
system.
The dispenser modification equipment list for the Hybrid system
was obtained directly from the manufacturer of the hybrid system "
(I-E-25), and includes the Model 1UO jet pump. Model CX-6 adapter.
Model S swivel, Model CX hose, Model 143 control valve, and an instal-
lation kit. The total price is $435 per nozzle.
The dispenser modification equipment cost (excluding nozzles) for
the Assist-! system is the same as that for the balance system: (i.e.,
about $355), plus the cost of a ball check valve ($16.95, I-E-23).
Thus, the total unit price for dispenser modification equipment for the
Assist-1 system was estimated to be $367 per nozzle.
The dispenser modification cost for the Assist-2 system was obtained
directly from the manufacturer of the system (I-F-106), and includes
the Hasstech vapor hose, ITT flow control valve, A.Y. McDonald impact
valve, hose swivels, and Hasstech Model 1025 flame arrestor. The unit
price is $205.
Tables B-3 through B-7 present the aboveground direct costs that
would bi incurred for each model plant. These tables include the
component costs for the balance system, the Hybrid System (Healy) and
the vacuum assist system (Hirt = Assist-1, Hasstech = Assist-2). Table
B-8 outlines the information on nozzles and islands assumed in the cost
analysis for each model plant. The data for single dispensers include
the same nozzle-per-station assumptions used in the 1984 EPA analysis
found in "Evaluation of Air Pollution Regulatory Strategies for Gasoline
Marketing Industry," EPA-450/3-84-012a (I-A-5S). The assumptions for
the multiproduct dispensers (MPD's) include the installation of one
4-nozzle MPD to replace each 3-dispenser island. An uneven number of
nozzles results from the 75/25 weighting of the nozzles associated with
single/multiproduct dispensers.

-------
B.2.1.2 Nozzle Costs
The unit cost for each nozzle type shown In Tables B-3 through B-7
represents the cost of a new vapor recovery nozzle for each specific
system manufacturer. The cost shown for a balance system nozzle is an
average of several prices obtained from manufacturers of the approved
nozzles listed in Table B-l (i.e., Emco Wheaton, OPW, References I-E-28,
I-F-110, and I-F-111). The new vapor recovery nozzles cost from $196
to $198, and thus a price of $197 for both balance-individual nozzles
and balance-manifolded nozzles was used. These cost were later
verified by again contacting the equipment manufacturers (I-E-6b,
I-E-66) and reflect the costs of the newest light-weight certified
nozzles.
The unit cost shown in Tables B-3 through B-7 for the Assist-1
nozzle 1s an average cost of new nozzles certified by California for use
with the Hirt system. Costs were obtained from the manufacturers of
the nozzles used with this system (I-E-28, I-F-11U, and I-F-111). The
prices ranged from $157 to $198, and thus the average unit price of
$178 was used.
The Assist-2 nozzle unit cost shown in Tables B-3 through B-7 is
the actual cost of the Husky Model HP-2 nozzle (I-F-1U6).
While rebuilt nozzles are available as replacement equipment,, new
nozzle prices were used in the estimation of costs because information
on the use and durability of rebuilt nozzles was not available to EPA
when these costs were being collected.
B.2.1.3 Pispehser Instal1 at1 on'Costs
The balance system costs were obtained from one contractor
(I-E-46) who estimated that it would take 2 man-days to install all
aboveground equipment at a two-island six-nozzle station. The
following shows the information obtained and how the unit costs for a
balance system were calculated:
2 man-days at $200/day - $400,
Profit (20%) = $ 80,
Total cost for 6-nozzle station = $480,
Unit cost for 1-nozzle station = $ 80.
The Hybrid, Assist-1,- and Assist-2 dispenser installation costs,
obtained directly from the manufacturers of these systems, are $100,
$"4b, and $50 per nozzle, respectively (I-E-25, I-E-35, and I-F-106).
B-24
-------
8.2.1.4 Auxiliary Equipment and Installation
The auxiliary items for the Asslst-1 and Assist-2 systems
Include a pressure/vacuum (P/V) valve, blower collection unit, and
processing unit. The costs for these items and their installation were
obtained directly from the system manufacturers (I-E-35 and I-F-106).
The costs for auxiliary items for Assist-1 and Assist-2 systems are
$3»97b and $3,9UO, respectively, while the installation of these items
costs $1,400 and $1,200, respectively,
B.2.2 Underground Costs
To estimate the costs of the underground piping systems, the lay-
out of each model plant had to be determined. A representative equip-
ment configuration was then determined for each model plant and, for
each configuration, costs were estimated.
B.2.2.1 Station Layout and EquipmentConf igurat 1 on
A survey of about 40 service stations was performed around the
Research Triangle Park area in North Carolina. No one specific layout
was a rule for a specific model plant, but general tendencies in design
and average distances between islands, storage tanks, and stations were
determined. The general design guidelines chosen to establish the
layout of each model plant are as follows:
1. The storage tanks are approximately 50 feet away from the main
service island.
2. There is approximately 24 feet between adjacent service
islands and station building.
3. Vent risers were typically located on the side of the station
building.
Figures B-8 through 8-12 incorporate these guidelines to provide a
"reasonable" service station layout for each model plant. An infinite
number of layouts is possible; however, the layouts presented supply
the necessary means to calculate reasonable costs for the underground
piping systems.
After the model plant layouts were determined, the underground
piping was designed. Several guidelines were used:
1. Vapor recovery lines are located away from product lines as
much as possible to avoid disruption of the existing product
lines (I-E-39).
