3. Vehicle Fueling Test Procedure
3.1 Principle and Applicability
3.1.1 Principle. Tests are conducted on a sample of
vehicles representative of the vehicle population
to determine the weight of gasoline vapor returned
to the underground tank and the weight of vapor
lost through any vents In the system. Baseline
data (the weight of gasoline vapor displaced per
gallon of gasoline dispensed for given temperatures
of the gasoline In the vehicle tank and the dispensed
gasoline, and given vapor pressure of the dispensed
gasoline) are determined from vehicles from which
no significant leaks occurred during fueling. The
efficiency of the vapor recovery system Is then
calculated by comparing the amount of vapor returned
during fueling, corrected for vent losses, to the
baseline data.
3.1.2 Applicability. The method Is applicable to all control
systems 1n which vapors are returned from the vehicle
tank to th« underground tank or disposal system through
a vapor line.

tank leak rate to vehicle fill-pipe.
(b) Open main valve on the nitrogen supply
bottle and adjust the needle valve until
the pressure 1n the fill neck reaches one
half (1/2) Inch water (gauge) and is
stable.
(c) Determine the rate at which vapor is
leaking by either timing a volume of O.I
ft.3 or by selecting a time period of 15
seconds, whichever results in a smaller
volume being transferred to the vehicle
tank. Record readings. If a stable
pressure cannot be maintained due to too
large a leak, note this.
(d) Remove device from the vehicle fill-pipe
and proceed with the procedures as described
in Section 3.2.2.2.

3.2.2.2 The following steps are for performing the
Individual vehicle tests.
(a) All dispensing from any nozzle not
being tested, but connected to the
same vapor return line as the test
nozzle, must be done carefully by a
service station attendant and not b«y
a self-service customer. This procedure
applies regardless of the mode of opera-
tion used during the 90-day reliability
period. Even If certification Is being
sought for a totally manifolded system
that Is to be used In the self-service
mode, all dispensing during the 100-car
test, except dispensing which Is done
with the test nozzle, must be done very
carefully by an attendant.
(b) For each vehicle tested Insert a thermo-
couple Into the vehicle tank, ensure
thermocouple cones In contact with the
liquid. »1 low sufficient t1w for the
Instrument to stabilize, and record the
Initial temperature of gtsollne In Its
fuel tank.
21
(c) Instruct station attendant or self-
service customer to connect nozzle.
Note the type of fit obtained and note
the make, model and year of vehicle
being tested. The note on the type of
fit obtained should Include:
1) whether or not the nozzle could be
latched,
2) problems encountered when Inserting
the nozzle, and
3) whether or not the nozzle was hand-held.
(d) Record the Initial positive-displacement
meter reading, turn chart recorders on,
and verify operation of sensors. Set HC
sample flowrate to approximately 500 cubic
centimeters per minute.
(e) Instruct station attendant or self-service
customer to start fueling vehicle at the
maximum desired automatic flow-rate. Record
the setting.
(f) Indicate on charts and/or other data print-
outs the point at which fueling commences.

(g) Record the dispensed liquid and returned
vapor temperatures and record the positive-
displacement meter readings at five gallon
Intervals. Indicate on the chart recordings
the point at which each five gallon Incre-
ment 1s passed. Take background explosl-
meter reading.
Use exploslmeter to detect any leaks at
the nozzle-f11Ineck Interface. (Warn
person dispensing gasoline that an explosl-
meter will be used and this 1s not to affect
the person's normal mode of operation.)
(h) Indicate on the chart recordings the point
at which fueling 1s terminated. Need a
minimum of four gallons of fuel dispensed
for an acceptable test. This Is to allow
for Instrumentation responses to stabilize.
Record the total gallons dispensed and the
f1n»l positive-displacement meter readings.

3.2.2.3 The post-fueling leak rate check is not
to be conducted for vacuum assisted systems.
Steps (a) through (e) are for leak rate
check for displacement systems.
(a) Close the valve 1n the vapor return
line under test so that the vapor
return Hne Is closed to gas flow.
(Be sure HC analyzer sample pump has
been turned off.)
(b) Open the main valve on the nitrogen
supply bottle and adjust the needle
valve until the pressure In the fill-
neck 1s at the desired level and is
stable. It Is suggested that the
leak rate be determined at three
flllneck pressures, one point below
the average pressure experienced
during fueling, one at average pressure
and one above average pressure.
(c) Determine the rate at which vapor is
leaking by timing a convenient volume
(suggest a minimum of 0.1 ft.3 or IS
seconds). Hark the chart pressure trace
-------

ro
i
at the start and finish of each timed
interval. Record the time and volume.
Repeat for each pressure setting. If
a stable pressure cannot be maintained
due to too small a leak (probably
through vehicle's evaporative emission
control system) so note. If the pressure
experienced during the fueling cannot be
obtained because the leak is too large,
note this also.
(d) Remove the noizle from the vehicle fill-
neck and replace on the gasoline pump.
Purge HC analyzer system and zero pressure
transducers. Open the valve In the vapor
return line.
(e) Measure the final temperature of the
gasoline In the vehicle tank and record.
3.2.2.4 Continue tests for the test sample. The sample
shall be statistically representative of the
vehicle population, weighted according to
vehicle miles travelled (Section 3.4 <)•
25
(a) The vehicle population Is to meet
the specified vehicle matrix within
three vehicles. The test vehicles
are to be selected on a first-ln-first
tested basis. The exception to this is
when a vehicle Is rejected for one of
the reasons in (b) below.
(b) The only acceptable reasons for rejec-
tion of a vehicle are: (1) Incomplete
test data, (2) vehicle has been modified
In the vicinity of th« fill-pipe opening
or vehicle fill-pipe has been modified
or damaged, (3) vehicle test matrix
category already full, (4) less than
required minimum fuel dispensed, (5)
vehicle did not have fill-pipe cap upon
arrival at station.
3.2.2.5 At the end of the testing determine the
number of baseline vehicles (those vehicles
which met the conditions of 3.2.3 (g)) If
this number Is not 40 or more, continue
testing until this number 1s obtained.
These additional vehicles will only be used
In estimating actual vehicle emissions and

l
will not be used 1n calculating the system
efficiency. (Any additional baseline vehicles
have to meet the conditions 1n 3.2.3 (g).
3.2.2.6 Any test vehicle which had an Initial
vehicle tank temperature more than 10'F
outside the range of temperatures for the
baseline vehicles will be discarded from
the test fleet.
3.2.2.7 Record pressure of the vehicle tank and
the underground tank during various rates

For a balance systm. select those vehicles
fro* the total list of vehicles tested which
had: (1) complete test data. (2) a pre-fueling
leak rate of equal to or less than 0.01 CFM,
(3) a post-fueling leak rate of equal to or
less than 0.01 CFH, (4) exploslmeter readings
for the fueling period equal to or less than

baseline vehicles be those where "hands-off"
fueling occurred; however, this nay not be
possible due to the nature or mode of opera-
tion of the system being tested. These
vehicles and their measured data will be used
to develop the regression equation to deter-
mine [ r 1; for t balance type vapor recovery
system.
For a vacuum-assisted system, select those
vehicles from the total list of vehicles
tested which had: (1) a pre-fuellng leak
rate of equal to or less than 0.01 CFH,
(2) a zero or negative pressure In the
vehicle flllneck for the fueling period,
(3) exploslmeter readings for the fueling
period equal to or less than 0.1 LEL (except
for a monetary spike such as at the end of
fueling), and (4) a complete set of data.
-These vehicles and their measured data will
be used to develop the regression equation
to determine t £ 1; for » vacuum-assisted
type vapor recovery system. Using step-wise
regression techniques, determine a multi-
variable linear regression equation for the
33
emissions fron baseline vehicles (those
vehicles selected by the above criteria)
using as the dependent variable - grams
HC vapor per gallon of gasoline dispensedr
«r )
'gallons of gasoHne dispensed to vehicle
and as the independent variables - the vapor
pressure of the dispensed gasoline, the
Initial temperature of the gasoline 1n the
vehicle tank (Tv), and the average tempera-
ture of the dispensed gasoline (Td). An
equation of a different form (such as a
quadratic) or an equation using different
Independent variables may be used 1f the
alternate equation gives a statistically
better fit at the 0.01 level of confidence.
3.3 Calibrations
3.3.1 Flow meters. Standard methods and equipment shall be
used to calibrate the now meters. The calibration
curves are to be traceable to National Bureau of
Standards (I*BS) standards.
3.3.2 Temperature recording Instruments. Calibrate dally
prior to test period and Immediately following test
period using Ice water (32'F) and a known temperature
source about 100'F.
-------
34
3.3.3 Pressure recording Instruments. Calibrate pressure
transducers prior to the 100 vehicle Phase II test
with i static pressure calibrator for a range of
-3 to +3 Inches water or appropriate range of opera-
tion. Zero the transducers after each Individual
vehicle test.
3.3.4 Total hydrocarbon analyzer. Follow the manufacturer's
Instructions concerning warm-up tine and adjustments.
0 On each test day prior to testing and at the end of
ro the day's testing, zero the analyzer with a zero gas
i
^ (<3 pp» C) and span with 30 percent and 70 percent
concentrations of propane. Prior to the Phase I and
Phase II testing perform a comprehensive calibration
In the laboratory. Check the analyzer with several
known concentrations of propane to determine linearity.
The HC calibration cylinders must be checked against a
reference cylinder maintained In the laboratory before
each field test. This Information must be entered
Into a log Identifying each cylinder by serial number.
The reference cylinder must be checked against a
primary standard every six Months and the results
recorded. The reference cylinder Is to be discarded
when the assayed value changes more than one percent.
Any cylinder 1s to be discarded when the cylinder
pressure drops to 10 percent of the original pressure.
35
3.3.5 A record of all calibrations made is to be maintained.
3.4 Acceptance of Systems
When a system is accepted, it will have certain physical
features such as piping sizes and configurations which may
have to be modified to acccmodate the requirements of each
installation. Because the pressure drops and other charac-
teristics of the system are Influenced by these features
and these In turn Influence effectiveness. It may be
necessary to condition acceptance upon certain criteria
which account for physical parameters such as pressure
drops and flow rates. When systems are tested for accep-
tance, these parameters will be ascertained.
Some of the conditions that may be Imposed upon an
acceptance are:
(a) Allowable pressure drop In the lines leading from
the dispensing nozzle to the underground tank.
(b) The method of calculating the pressure drop.
(c) The model of dispensing nozzle which may be used.
(d) The manner 1n which vapor return lines may be manifolded.
(e) The type of restriction to be placed on the vent of the
underground tank.
-------
36
(f) The number of dispensing nozzles which may be
serviced by a secondary system.
(g) Allowable delivery rates.
(h) Use of the system on full-service stations only.
3.5 Test Sample
A total of 100 vehicles are required to be tested for
determining the efficiency of a Phase II system. The
vehicle distribution based on model year, vehicle miles
travelled and manufacturer for use until September 1976
Is given In Table I. An up-date table will be Issued In
September of each subsequent year. Vehicles will be
O tested as they enter the station ("first In" basis) until
*
a specific matrix block of the distribution 1s filled.
Additional tested cars that fit Into a completed matrix
block can be used as baseline vehicles but may not be
substituted for earlier complete tests. Exception to
this is when more than two Identical vehicles arrive to
be tested, only the first two will be used. (An example
of this would be If three 1975 Impala station wagons
come 1n for testing, only the first two would be used
unless one was rejected for other reasons such as Hissing
data.) The only other reasons for excluding a vehicle
from the test fleet are: (1) Incomplete data for vehicle
(missing vehicle temperature, HC concentration, volume

efficiency under conditions that may be
considered normal for the station under
test. All dispensing pumps Interconnected
with or sharing the control system under
test shall remain open as Is normal for
the station operation. Vehicles shall be
fueled as Is normal for the test period.
As underground tank filling produces vapor
volumes different from vehicle tank filling,
no underground tank filling should be per-
formed during the test period. A separate
test Is to be made to determine vapor control
efficiency during Phase I operations.
3.6.2.2 Fuel RVP: The RVP of the fuel dispensed
during the test shall be within the range
normal for the geographic location and time
of the year.
3.6.3 Test Equipment
3.6.3.1 HC Analyzers: HC analyzers using flame
lonlzatlon detectors calibrated with known
concentrations of propant 1n air are used to
measure HC concentrations at both the Incin-
erator Inlet and exhaust. A suitable con-
tinuous recorder Is required to record
real-time output from the HC analyzer.
39
3.6.3.2 Sample System: The sample probe is to be
of a material unaffected by combustion
gases (S.S. 365). The sample pump should
be oil-less and leak-tight. Sample lines
are to be Inert, teflon Is recommended.
A thermocouple (0-2000T) shall be used
to monitor temperature of exhaust gases
at the inlet to sampling system.
3.6.3.3 Carbon Dioxide Analyzer: A nondlspersive
Infrared analyzer calibrated with known
quantities of C02 In air Is used to measure
COj concentrations fn the exhaust gas.
3.6.3.4 Other equipment 1s specified in Section 3.2.1.
3.6.4 Test Procedure
3.6.4.1 Visual Inspection: Any visual emissions
except for steam, from vapor Incinerators
are an Indication of poor combustion. An
Incinerator shall not emit air contaminants
(not Including moisture) 1n such a manner
that the opacity of the emission is greater
than 10 percent for a period or periods
-------
40
ro
i
ro
ro
aggregating more than one minute In any
60 consecutive minutes; or greater than
40 percent opacity at any time. Should
such visible emissions from the exhaust
be detected, the control system Is unac-
ceptable and the problem must be corrected
and an application made to the ARE for
reconsideration for certification.
3.6.4.2 Sample Location: The sampling point should
be located 1n the exhaust stack down-stream
of the burner far enough to permit complete
mixing of the combustion gases. For most
sources, this point Is at least eight stack
diameters downstream of any Interference
and two diameters upstream of the stack exit.
There are many cases where th«st conditions
cannot be met. The sample point should be no
less than one suck diameter from the stack
exit and one stick diameter above the high
point of the flame and be at a point of
maxlmn velocity head as determined by the
number of eoual areas of cross-sectional
area of the stack. The Inlet sampling loca-
tion Is In the system Inlet line routing
41
vapors to the burner. A HC sample tap,
a pressure sensor tap, and a thermocouple
connection to monitor gas temperature
must be Installed on the Inlet side of
the volume meter.
3.6.4.3 Monitoring Equipment Set-Ups: Span and
calibrate all monitors. Connect sampling
probes, pumps and recorders to the monitors
and mount sampling probes In the stack and
at the Inlet.
3.6.4.4 Measurements: Mark strip charts at the
start of the test period and proceed with
HC, CO;, and volume measurements for at
least three burning cycles of the system.
The total sampling time should be at least
three hours. Sampling for HC's and CO;
must occur simultaneously. At the end of
each cycle, disconnect C02 Instrument and
obtain an ambient air sample. This step
requires that the CO; Instrument be cali-
brated for the lower concentrations expected
at ambient levels.

gasoline liquid dispensed during the
test period.

The Important criterion for this calculation is
that all the significant carbon sources be measured.
The values used 1n the calculation should represent
avenge values obtained from strip chart readings
using Integration techniques. Some systems have
more than one burning mode of operation. For
these It Is desirable to have high and low
emission levels calculated. This requires that

The exhaust HC concentration will vary with
time and operation of the system. It Is likely
that, in addition to an overall average mass
emission rate using an average HC^, several
peak values of (m/L)e will be required as
discussed above. If sane correlations between
HC^ and HCe occurs over the burning cycle of the
system, this calculation should be used to show
the change in mass emission rate.

program. During the test program, the HC
analyzer shall be spanned on site with zero
gas (<3 ppmv C) and with known concentrations
of propane In hydrocarbon-free air at a level
near the highest concentration expected. The
spanning procedure shall be performed at least
twice each test day.
3.6.6.2 Carbon Dioxide Analyzer: Nondlspersive infrared
f analyzers are acceptable for measurement of
ro
' exhaust C02 concentrations. Calibrations should
be performed following the manufacturer's instruc-
tions. Calibration gases should be known concen-
trations of CO; in air. A calibration shall be
prepared using a minimum of five prepared calibration
gases in the range of concentrations expected. The
calibration of the instrument need not be performed
on site but snail be performed immediately prior to
and Immediately following the test program. During
the testing the analyzer shall be spanned with a
known concentration of COj In air at a level near
the highest concentration expected. The spanning
procedure shall occur at least twice per test day.

BARCLAYS CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS
Title 8
f 5592. Normal Venting for Aboveground Tanks.
la) Atmospheric storage tanks shall be adequately vented to prevent
the development of vacuum or pressure sufficient to distort the roof of
a cone roof tank or exceeding the design pressure in the case of other at-
mospheric tanks, as a result of filling or emptying, and atmospheric tem-
perature changes.
(b) Normal vents shall be sized either in accordance with the American
Petroleum Institute Standard No. 2000. Venting Atmospheric and Low-
Pressure Storage Tanks. 1968. or other accepted standard, or shall be at
least as large as the filling or withdrawal connection, whichever is larger
but in no case less than 1 1/4-inch nominal inside diameter.
ic) Low-pressure tanks and pressure vessels shall be adequately
vented to prevent development of pressure or vacuum, as a result of fill-
ing or emptying and atmospheric temperature changes, from exceeding
the design pressure of the tank or vessel. Protection shall also be provided
to prevent overpressure from any pump discharging into the tank or ves-
sel when the pump discharge pressure can exceed the design pressure of
the tank or vessel
I d) If any tank or pressure vessel has more than one fill or withdrawal
connection and simultaneous filling or withdrawal can be made, the vent
size shall be based on the maximum anticipated simultaneous flow
{e) The outlet of all vents and vent drains on tanks equipped with vent-
ing to permit pressures exceeding 2.5 psig shall be arranged to discharge
in such a way as to prevent localized overheating of or flame impinge-
ment on any pan of the tank, in the event vapors from such vents are ig-
nited
(f) Tanks and pressure vessels storing Class LA bquids shall be
equipped with venting devices which shall be normally closed except
when venting to pressure or vacuum conditions Tanks and pressure ves-
sels storing Class IB and 1C liquids shall be equipped with venting de-
vices which shall be normally closed except when venting under pressure
or vacuum conditions, or with approved flame arresters Tanks of 3.000
bbls capacity or less containing crude petroleum in crude-producing
areas, and. outside aboveground atmospheric tanks under 1.000 gallons
capacity containing other than Class LA flammable bquids may have
open vents. (See Section 5594 )
(gl Rame arresters or venting devices required in (f) may be omitted
for IB and 1C liquids where conditions are such that their use may. in case
of obstruction, result in tank damage Liquid properties justifying the
omission of such devices include, but are not limited to. condensation.
corrosiveness. crystallization, polymerization, freezing or plugging
When any of these conditions exist, consideration may be given to heat-
ing, use of devices employing special materials of construction, the use
of liquid seals, or inserting.
{ 5593. Emergency Relief Venting for Fire Exposure for
Aboveground Tanks.
(a) Except as provided in ib). every aboveground storage tank shall
have some form of construction or device that will rebeve excessive in-
ternal pressure caused by exposure fires.
( b ) Tanks larger than 1 2.000 gallons capacity stonng Class ELTB liquids
and not within the diked area or the drainage path of Class I or Class Q
liquids do not require emergency relief venting
1C) In a vertical tank the construction referred to in i a) may take the
form of a floating roof, bfter roof, a weak roof-to-shell seam, or other
approved pressure relieving construction. The weak rool-to-shell seam
shall be constructed to fail preferential to any other seam
(d ) Where entire dependence for emergency relief is placed upon pres-
sure relieving devices, the total venting capacity of both normal and
emergency vents shall be enough to prevent rupture of the shell or bottom
of the lank if vertical, or of the shell or heads if horizontal If unstable liq-
uids are stored, the effects of heat or gas resulting from polymerization.
decomposition, condensation, or self-reactivity shall be taken into ac-
count The total capacity of both normal and emergency venting devices
shall be not less than that derived from Table FL-16 except as provided
in ( f) or ( g ). Such device may be a self-closing manhole cover, or one us-
ing long bolts that permit the cover to lift under internal pressure, or an
additional or larger relief valve or valves The wetted area of the tank shall
be calculated on the basis of 55 percent of the total exposed area of a
sphere or spheroid. 75 percent of the total exposed area of a horizontal-
tank and the first 30 feet above grade of the exposed shell area of a vertical
tank. "~'~
let For tanks and storage vessels designed for pressures over 1 psig.
the total rate of venting shall be determined in accordance with Table
FL-16. except that when the exposed wetted area of the surface is greater
than 2.800 sq ft., the total rate of venting shall be in accordance with
Table FL-I7 or calculated by the following formula
CFH - 1,107 A012
Where
CFH - venting requirement, in cubic feet of free air per hour
A - exposed wetted surface, in square feet
The foregoing formula is based on Q - 21.000 A° l:
I f I The total emergency relief venting capacity for any specific stable
liquid may be determined by the following formula.
Cubic feet of free air per hour - V 1337
V - cubic feet of free air per hour from Table FL-16
L - latent heal of vaporization of specific liquid in BTU per pound.
M - molecular weight of specific bquids

jacket or cover is at a temperature of 1.660° F and when the mean temper-
ature of the insulation is 1.000° F.
(h) The outlet of all vents and vent drains on tanks equipped with emer-
gency venting to permit pressures exceeding 2.5 psig shall be arranged
to discharge in such a way as to prevent localized overheating of or flame
impingement on any part of the tank, in the event vapors from such vents
are ignited.
(i) Each commercial tank venting device shall have stamped on it the
opening pressure, the pressure at which the valve reaches the full open
position and the flow capacity at the latter pressure. If the start to open
pressure is less than 2.5 psigand the pressure at full open position is great-
er than 2.5 psig. the now capacity at 2.5 psig shall also be stamped on the
venting device The now capacity shall be expressed in cubic feet per
hour of air ai 60 F and 14.7 psia.
(11 The flow capacity of tank venting devices under 8 inches in nomi-
nal pipe size shall be determined by actual test of each type and size of
vent These flow tests may be conducted by the manufacturer if certified
bv a qualified impartial observer, or may be conducted by a qualified im-
partial outside agency.The flow capacity of tank venting devic«s8 inches
nominal pipe size and larger, including manhole covers with long bolts
or equivalent, may be calculated provided that the opening pressure is ac-
tually measured, the rating pressure and corresponding free onfice area
are stated the word "calculated" appears on the nameplate.and the com-
putation is based on a How coefficient of 0.5 applied to the rated onfice
area.
12) A suitable formula for this calculation is.
CFH-1.667CfAV(P,-P.)
where CFH - venting requirement in cubic feet of free air per hour
Cf - 0.5 (the flow coefficient)
A - the onfice are in sq. in.

walls Vent outlets shall be located so that flammable vapors will not be
trapped by eaves or other obstructions and shall be at least five feet from
building openings
(c) The manifolding of tank vent piping shall be avoided except where
required for special purposes such as vapor recovery, vapor conservation
or air pollution control When tank vent piping is manifolded, pipe sizes
shall be such as to discharge, within the pressure limitations of the sys-
tem, the vapors they may be required to handle when manifolded tanks
are subject to the same fire exposure.
I d) Vent piping for tanks storing Class I liquids shall not be manifolded
with vent piping for tanks storing Class n or Class ffl liquids unless posi-
tive means are provided to prevent the vapors from Class I liquids from
entering tanks storing Class D or Class m liquids, to prevent contamina-
tion and possible change in classification of the less volatile liquid.
} 5595. Drainage, Dikes and Walls for Abovaground
Tanks.
I a) The area surrounding a tank or group of tanks storing Class I. Class
D or Class ELA liquids shall be provided with drainage as in I b). or shall
be diked as provided in I c I. to prevent accidental discharge of liquid from
endangering employees or facilities. Tanks storing Class fflB liquids do
not require drainage or dikes
(b) Where protection is by means of a natural or man-made drainage
system, such systems shall comply with the following
(DA slope of not less than 1 percent away from the tank toward the
drainage system shall be provided.
(2) The drainage system shall terminate in vacant land or other area or
in an impounding basin having a capacity not smaller than that of the larg-
est tank served. This termination area and the route of the drainage system
shall be so located that, if the flammable or combustible bquids in the
drainage system arc ignited, the fire will not seriously expose tanks or ad-
joining property
(3) The drainage system, including automatic drainage pumps, shall
not discharge to adjoining property, natural watercourses, public sewers.
or public drains unless the discharge of flammable or combustible liquids
would not constitute a hazard, or the system is so designed that it will not
permit flammable or combustible liquids to be released
(c) Where protection is accomplished by retaining the liquid around
the tank by means of a dike, the volume of the diked area shall comply
with the following requirements'
11) The volumetric capacity of the diked area shall not be less than the
greatest amount of liquid that can be released from the largest tank within
the diked area, assuming a full tank. To allow for volume occupied by
tanks, the capacity of the diked area enclosing more than one tank shall
be calculated after deducting the volume of the tanks, other than the larg-
est tank, below the height of the dike.
(2) Walls of the diked area shall be of earth, steel, concrete or solid ma-
sonry designed to be liquid-tight and to withstand a full hydrostatic head.
Earthen walls 3 feel or more in height shall have a flat section at the top
not less than 2 feet wide. The slope of an earthen wall shall be consistent
with the angle or repose of the material of which the wall a constructed.
Diked areas for tanks containing Class I liquids located in extremely po-
rous toils may require special treatment to prevent seepage of hazardous
quantities of liquids to low lying areas or waterways in case of spills.
(3) Except as provided in (4) below, the walls of earthen dikes shall be
restricted to an average interior height of six feet above interior grade.
(4) Dikes may be higher than an average of six feet above in tenor grade
where provisions are made for normal and necessary emergency access
to tanks, valves and other equipment, and safe egress from the diked en-
closure.
IA) Where the average height of the dike containing Class I liquids is
over 12 feet high, measured from interior grade, or where the distance be-
tween any tank and the top inside edge of the dike wall is less than the
height of the dike wall, provisions shall be made for normal operation of
valves and for access to tank roofls) without entering below the top of the
dike. These provisions may be met through the use of remote operated
valves, elevated walkways or similar arrangements
(B) Piping passing through dike walls shall be designed to prevent ex-
cessive stresses as a result of settlement or fire exposure.
(C) The minimum distance between tanks and toe of the interior dike
walls shall be five feet.
(5) Where provision is made for draining water from diked areas.
drainage shall be provided at a uniform slope of not less than one percent
away from tanks toward a sump, dmnbox or other safe means of disposal
located at the greatest practical distance from the tank. Such drains shall
normally be controlled in a manner so as to prevent flammable or com-
bustible liquids from entering natural water courses, public sewers, or
public drains, if their presence would constitute a hazard. Control of
drainage shall be accessible under fire conditions and outside the dike
(6) No loose combustible material, empty or full drum or barrel, shall
be permitted within the diked area
(7) Each diked area containing two or more tanks shall be subdivided
preferably by drainage channels or at least by intermediate curbs in order
to prevent spills from endangering adjacent tanks within the diked area
as follows
i A) When storing normally stable liquids in vertical cone roof tanks
constructed with weak roof-to-shell seam or approved floating root
tanks or when storing crude petroleum in producing areas in any type of
lank, one subdivision for each tank in excess of 10.000 bbls. and one sub-
division for each group of tanks {no tank exceeding 10.000 bbls. capac--
ity I having an aggregate capacity not exceeding 15.000 bbls
(B) When storing normally stable flammable or combustible liqTRBS
in tanks not covered in subparagraph (1), one subdivision for each tank
in excess of 100.000 gallons 12.500 bbls. I and one subdivision for each
group of tanks ino tank exceeding 100.000 gallons capacity) having an
aggregate capacity not exceeding 150.000 gallons (3.570 bbls )
I C) When storing unstable liquids in any type of tank, one subdivision
for each tank except that tanks installed in accordance with the drainage
requirements of trie Standard for Water Spray Fixed Systems for Fire
Protection. NFPA No. 15-1973. shall require no additional subdivision
Since unstable liquids will react more rapidly when heated than when at
ambient temperatures, subdivision by drainage channels is the preferred
method.
(D) The drainage channels or intermediate curbs shall be located be-
tween tanks so as to take full advantage of the available space with due
regard for the individual tank capacities. Intermediate curbs, where used.
shall be not less than 18 inches in height
J 5596. Tank Openings Othar Than Vents for

COAXIAL EMERGENCY BREAKAWAY COUPLING
LISTEE Emco Wheaton, Inc., 4001 Weston Parkway,
Gary, NC 27513
DESIGN Emco Wheaton Model A4019 Coaxial Safebreak
Coupling is intended for use with gasoline dispensing devises
having vapor recovery capabilities. It is used between two [2]
hose assemblies to safeguard against excessive pull force on the
hose assembly and dispenser.
The assembly consists of an internal male and female connectors
with integral check valves in each component. These parts are
assembled within a female and male outer body which are slipped
together and held in place with a outer shell. When the coupling
and connecting hose assemblies are subjected to a pull force not
exceeding 250 pounds, the outer shell expands causing separation
of the coupling:.balves relieving pull force on the hose assembly
and dispenser. The check valves prevent the escape of liquid from
the hose lines. Coupling can be reassembled in the field
following separation.
The inlet and outlet connections consist of a 1 7/8 inch 12
female thread (vapor line) and a concentric 11/16 inch bore
(liquid line) with two (2) integral O-rings.
Each assembly is tested by the manufacturer for electrical
continuity with resistance less than 0.5 megohms.
APPLICATION Intended for installation between two (2) coaxial
hose assemblies where the working pressure does not exceed 50
psi.
INSTALLATION To be installed in conformity with the
manufacturer's instructions and all applicable codes.
MARKING Listee's name and coupling model number shall be
molded on the outer shell, cast on body half, and silk-screened

APPENDIX D
CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDERS
As discussed in Chapter 4, if a system is "certified"
by CARS, an Executive Order is written. The Order specifies
the conditions which must be met by any system installed
under the certification. These specifications may include
the plumbing system, an equipment list, the vapor hose
configuration, and the maximum allowable pressure drop
through the system. This appendix contains a summary of the
requirements of Stage II (Phase II) CARB Executive Orders as
well as examples of actual Executive Orders. The Sections
of this appendix are as follows:
Section D.I Executive Order Summary from the
California Air Resources Board's
"Gasoline Facilities Phase I & II"

603.2 PHASE II VAPOR RECOVERY
Phase I vapor recovery refers to the control of vapor from storage tank fueling
operations. In Phase H, three types of vapor recovery systems have been certified
by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for use in the districts: Balance,
Vacuum-Assist, and Aspirator-Assist.
603.2.1 Balance System
The balance system is a "no seal, no flow" system that uses a nozzle with a
bellows to recover gasoline vapors displaced by incoming gasoline. Gasoline
will not flow unless there is a tight seal between the faceplate and the motor
vehicle fillpipe. There are many balance systems currently certified by ARB
Executive Orders (see Appendix D). All approved balance systems are based on
the same principle. Displaced vapors in a the vehicle fuel tank are forced, and to
a slight degree pulled, into aboveground or underground storage tanks through
vapor return plumbing.
The various approved balance systems do not differ in operating principle, but
differ in plumbing configuration, size and equipment All of the systems have
been tested to achieve at least 95% vapor recovery efficiency with all types and
models of balance product dispensers, hoses, and nozzles in various approved
configurations.
To facilitate the approval and inspection process for balance vapor recovery
systems, one Executive Order, G-70-52, has been developed. This order
provides tables showing most of the dispenser, hose, and nozzle combinations
approved for use with various approved balance systems. Executive Order G-70-
52 has been amended and updated many times. The latest version, G-70-52 AK,
is included in Appendix D of this manual. In addition, this manual provides
Tables 603.2 and 603.3 which show, in simplified form, the various approved
nozzles outlined in G-70-52 AK. Because new installations allow only coaxial
vapor recovery hoses and nozzles, these tables are separated based on whether the
balance system usesdualorcoaxial hoses. It is important to note that these table
are simplicities of what is contained in the Executive Orders. If more detail is
needed, consult the appropriate Executive Order.

NOTES TO ACCOMPANY EXHIBITS 1 AND 2
For non-retail outlets which fuel special vehicles, the installation of
vapor recovery hoses longer than specified in the latest version of
Executive Order G-70-52 are allowed if the following conditions are met:
a. The non-retail outlet fuels special vehicles such as large trucks,
large skip loaders, off-the-road equipment, etc., vyhere reaching the
fill pipe requires longer hoses.
b. The vapor return hoses are arranged to be self-draining or provisions
are made to drain the hoses after each refueling or the system
incorporates an approved liquid blockage detection system arranged to
cease dispensing wnen a blockage occurs.
c. The Executive Officer of the Air Resources Board or his/her designee
has approved the plans for compliance with condition b.
"he maximum allowaole pressure crop through a system including nozzle,
vapor hose, swivels, and underground piping is:
a. 0.15 inch water at a flow of 20 CFH;
b. 0.45 inch water at a flow of 60 CFH;
c. 0.95 inch water at a flow of 100 CFH.
A pressure drop test must be conducted with the drybreak to the
underground tank open.
The vent pipes and vent manifold shall be adequately supported throughout
their length and when they are supporting weights in addition to their
own, additional supports may be required, such as anchoring to a building
or other structure.
All vapor return and vent piping shall be equipped with swing joints at
the base of the riser to each dispensing unit, at each tank connection,
and at the base of the vent riser where it fastens to a buildina or other
structure. When a swing joint is used in a riser containing a shear
section, the riser must be rigidly supported.
Float check valves (or alternate equipment, design, or operating
procedures acceptable to the Air Resources Board) are required for all
underground manifold piping to prevent contamination of unleaded gasoline
with leaded gasoline, via vapor recovery piping, during underground
storage tank loading or overfill.

APPENDIX E
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE OF IN-USE
EFFICIENCY CALCULATION PROCEDURES
E-l
-------
As discussed in Chapter 4 (Section 4.4.2) of this
document, in-use efficiency calculation procedures to be
used to estimate actual efficiency of Stage II equipment
after installation. The purpose of this Appendix is to
provide an illustrative example of how these calculations
are made. The example is based upon relatively recent
inspections conducted in the Bay Area (San Francisco), South
Coast (Los Angeles), and San Diego Areas of California.1
The defect database used to determine frequency of defects
was based upon the inspections of about 12,000 nozzles in
the subject areas. Data were also available by nozzle type
that allowed a comparison between older and newer equipment.
As stated in Chapter 4, semi-annual inspections would best
represent the enforcement scenarios in the areas where
inspections took place. Summaries of the inspection results
were available that were adequate to determine in-use
efficiency. However, more detailed inspection data could be
obtained by an agency conducting their own in-use efficiency
study.
E.I CALCULATION PROCEDURES
To illustrate the calculation procedures provided in
Chapter 4, the data found in the California survey of Stage
II balance systems is summarized in Table E-l. Data are
separated for all nozzles and for old and new equipment.
The discussion includes correlation of efficiency decreases
presented in Table 4-2 and the defects presented in Table
E-l. The efficiency decreases associated with each defect
listed in Table E-l are presented in Table E-2. The
following describes each defect found in this study and how
the data were analyzed to determine in-use efficiency. This

is an example of the analysis procedures, and provides
information on a semi-annual enforcement scenario. This
example analysis pertains only to balance systems since that
was the vast majority of the data contained in the data
base. This same approach could be used for hybrid or vacuum
assist systems.
• Defective Faceplate. The faceplate was considered
defective when the capability to achieve a seal at
the fillpipe interface was affected for one fourth
of the circumference of the faceplate. This was
identical to the torn faceplate definition used in
previous studies.2 Therefore the efficiency
decrease of 10 percent was again assigned.
• Improper Faceplate. This applied to instances when
the faceplate was not attached correctly. No other
information describing this defect was given.
Because of this lack of information, no efficiency
decrease was assigned to this defect.
• Missing Faceplate. This defect was assigned when
the faceplate was missing altogether. This was
identical to the "face seal only to installed"
defect presented in Table 4-2. Therefore, the same
efficiency decrease was assigned (22 percent).
• Defective Nozzle Boot. A defective nozzle boot
resulted from a triangular shaped tear 1/2 inch or
more on a side, a slit at least one inch long, or a
hole 1/2 inch or more in diameter. This fit the
definition of the "torn boot" defect in Table 4-2
so the efficiency decrease (30 percent) was used.
• Improper Nozzle Boot. This defect was assigned
when the boot was not securely clamped to the
nozzle or if the inside support spring was missing.
It was unclear how insecure the boot assembly was
and how this would affect emissions capture.
However, it was felt that some minor emissions
decrease would be associated with this defect, so
an efficiency decrease of 5 percent (half of the
defective faceplate value) was assigned.
• Leaking Nozzle Boot. A leaking nozzle boot was
defined in the inspectors instructions. However,
it was assumed this meant the same as a torn or
defective nozzle boot. Consequently, the
efficiency decrease of 30 percent used for
defective nozzle boots was assigned to this defect
also.
E-6
-------
Missing Nozzle Boot. This applied when no nozzle
boot was present. No vapor collection can occur
without the nozzle boot, therefore, an efficiency
decrease of 100 percent was assigned (as was
assigned in Table 4-2).
Uncertified Nozzle Boot. This defect was noted
when the wrong boot was used with the wrong system.
This did not mean the boot was defective, so it was
unclear what affect this would have on emissions
capture. Since no additional information was
available, no efficiency decrease was assigned to
this defect.
Defective Nozzle Body. This defect was noted when
the nozzle shut off was not working. This would be
similar to "nozzle damage" presented in Table 4-2
and an efficiency decrease of 22 percent was
assigned.
Leaking Nozzle Body. This was assigned when
gasoline leaked anywhere from the nozzle body.
This again was similar to the "nozzle damage"
category presented in Table 4-2, and, therefore, an
efficiency decrease of 22 percent was assigned.
Missing Nozzle Body. This defect was assigned when
the nozzle was missing and the vapor hose was left
open to the atmosphere. This obviously would be a
100 percent decrease in efficiency.
Uncertified Nozzle Body. This was noted when a
decertified nozzle was used. This does not imply
that there was anything wrong with the nozzle, only
that it was not certified. No efficiency decrease
was assigned to this defect.
Defective Check Valve. This defect was used when
the vapor check valve does not work (i.e., the
valve was stuck open). If the vapor check valve is
stuck open, vapors can be collected during
refueling, but some vapors may be released again
during times when the nozzle was idle. No
additional information was provided but it was felt
that some efficiency reduction should be applied to
this defect. This decrease could range from 10 to
100 percent but for calculation purposes a value of
30 percent was assumed (equal to that of a
defective nozzle boot).
Improper Check Valve. An improper check valve
meant the valve was installed in the wrong place or
installed backwards. If the valve were installed
backwards, vapors could not pass the valve and be
collected, therefore, the efficiency decrease would
E-7
-------
be 100 percent. If the valve were installed in the
wrong place there could possibly be no affect on
efficiency. To compromise, an efficiency decrease
of 30 percent, equal to a defective check valve,
was assumed.
Missing Check VaJ/ve. This defect meant that a
required check valve was missing. This would be
the same as a check valve stuck open and, as a
result, would have an efficiency decrease
equivalent to the defective check valve (30
percent).
Kinked/Flattened Hoses. Kinked hoses were noted
when there was one or more kinks found that would
not unkink when the hose was stretched to fill a
fuel tank. A flattened hose was a hose that had 3
or more feet of accumulated length flattened. Each
of these defects has the potential to essentially
eliminate vapor flow and therefore vapor capture.
However, the study did not indicate that the defect
was severe enough to completely halt vapor
collection. Therefore an efficiency decrease of 30
percent was assumed.
Leaking Hoses. This defect was noted when the
inspector was sure that a leak was present. The
efficiency for "torn hoses" from Table 4-2 was
assigned to this defect since it was unclear what
was causing the leak, but that a leak was noted.
Wrong'Hose Length. This defect was assigned when
the vapor hose was the wrong length based on
certification requirements. This may mean loops in
hoses that reached allowable certification
requirements. This would have the same affect as a
broken retractor that allows vapor hoses to droop.
Therefore the 5 percent efficiency decrease
assigned to "retractor broken" reported in Table
4-2 was also used for this defect.
Torn/Punctured Hoses. A torn hose was a hose torn,
usually at the swivel ends. A punctured hose was
noted when any hole was found in the vapor hose
that went all the way through the wall and allowed
vapors to escape. This was the intent of the "Torn
vapor hose" category in Table 4-2, therefore, this
same efficiency decrease (10 percent) was assigned.
Defective Retractor. A defective retractor was one
that did not work at all or the cord was broken.
This fit the description of "retractor broken" in
Table 4-2 and the 5 percent efficiency decrease was
assigned to this defect.
E-8
-------
Improper Retractor. This defect was noted when the
retractor would not retract all the way back to the
full retracted position and would not allow proper
hose configuration. The efficiency decrease used
both for "wrong hose length", and "defective
retractor" (5 percent) was considered appropriate
for this defect, since, as with these other
defects, the proper hose configuration could not be
achieved.
E.2 SAMPLE CALCULATIONS
Using the equation discussed in Chapter 4 and the data
in Tables E-l and E-2, the actual in-use efficiency for a
Stage II system (assuming all equipment installed) could be
calculated as follows:
Average
In-use
Efficiency ;
(Old
equipment)
(0.95) [(1.00-(0.Oil)(0.10))
(1.00-(0.003)(0.22))
(1.00-(0.015)(0.30))
(1.00-(0.047)(0.05))
(l.OO-(O.OOOl)(.30))
(1.00-(0.0004)(1.00))
(1.00-(0.0003)(0.22))
(1.00-(0.0002)(0.22))
(1.00-(0.0002)(1.00))
(1.00-(0.044)(0.30))
(i.oo-(o.ooe)(0.30))
(1.00-(0.0005)(0.30))
(1.00-(0.003)(0.30))
(1.00-(0.0004)(0.10))
(l.OO-(O.Ol)(0.05))
(1.00-(0.002)(0.10))
(1.00-(0.004)(0.05))
(1.00-(0.045)(0.05))
0.922
= 92.2 percent
Using the same calculation procedures for new equipment
would yield an inuse efficiency of 94.1 percent, and for all
nozzles tested 92.5 percent.

[DRAFT: PENDING DISTRICT REVIEW]
Address: San Diego, CA
Telephone: (619) 694-3307
Stage II Contact: Barney McEntire
San Diego Air Pollution Control District
REASON FOR INITIATING PROGRAM
Stage II controls were implemented for VOC control as
the entire San Diego area has been classified as a non-
attainment area for the criteria pollutant ozone.
MAJOR PUBLIC COMMENTS
NUMBER OF SERVICE STATIONS
Stage II affects approximately 1,200 retail and 600
private gasoline dispensing facilities in the San Diego
district.
REGULATIONS
San Diego Air Pollution Control Rule number 61.4 on the
Transfer of Volatile Organic Compounds into Vehicle Fuel
Tanks applies to any retail service station where VOC's are
dispensed into motor vehicle tanks with a capacity of 260
gallons or more or any non-retail service station where
VOC's are dispensed into motor vehicle tanks from any
stationary storage tank with a capacity greater than 550
gallons and where more than 2000 gallons of VOC's are
transferred into motor vehicle tanks in any calendar month.
San Diego has several exemption levels:
(1) VOC's into motor vehicle fuel tanks from any
intermediate refueler provided VOC's are not sold directly
from the intermediate refueler; or
(2) Natural gas or propane when not mixed with any
other VOC; or
F-3
-------
(3) VOC's into any vehicles performing emergency work
necessary to restore property to a safe condition following
a public calamity or work required to protect persons or
property from imminent exposure to danger or damage.
(4) VOC's from any stationary storage tank that:
(i) Is used primarily in the fueling of
aircraft and/or intermediate aircraft refuelers, or
boats; or
(ii) Is used exclusively in the filling of tanks
with a capacity if 5 gallons (18.93 liters) or less; or
(iii) Is located on the parcel of land on which
not more than 2000 gallons (7570 liters) are
transferred into motor vehicles during any calendar
month, provided that the facility is not a retail
service station where:
(A) no stationary storage tank with a
capacity of 260 gallons (984 liters) or more is
added, installed, or replaced at the facility
after March 14, 1989; and
(B) no modification, replacement or repair
of any underground liquid VOC piping from the
stationary storage tank to the dispensers occurs
at the facility after March 14, 1989; and
(C) the retail service station does not
exceed a VOC throughput of 480,000 gallons (1817
kiloliters) in any calendar year after March 7,
1990; or
(iv) is located in the desert portion of San
Diego County at any dispensing facility other than a
retail service station; or
(v) has a capacity of less than 260 gallons
(984 liters).
F-4
-------
IDENTIFICATION OF SOURCES
Stage II in San Diego was first implemented in August
of 1972. The initial stations were identified primarily
through the phone book and through past facility
inspections.
PERMIT APPLICATION PROCESS
Each facility is required to complete a permit
application with a planned layout of the system to be
installed. After the application has been received, a "plan
check" is run on as built drawings. If the facility is
approved, then the authority to construct is granted. After
construction, tests are required. Permission to operate
ensues as soon as the results are approved as being in
compliance and a permit is sent to the facility.
PROCEDURE AFTER PERMIT APPLICATION IS RECEIVED
Tests on the new system are conducted by hired
consultants. The tests performed are pressure decay, liquid
blockage, and pressure versus flow. The district must be
notified before tests can be conducted. In most instances,
a representative from the district is present during
testing. If the tests are passed, the station is granted a
start-up authorization. Testing is not repeated unless
reconstruction is done to the facility which would increase
emissions which would affect emissions.
F-5
-------
APPROVED OR CERTIFIED SYSTEMS
The San Diego District uses only CARB certified Stage
II vapor recovery equipment.
ENFORCEMENT
Number of Inspectors
The exact number of inspectors that the San Diego
District currently has is unknown. These inspectors' duties
are not exclusive to the Stage II program.
Inspector Training
The inspectors are trained within the district and do
not attend ARE training courses. In addition they have an
inspection manual which was developed in the district.
Frequency of Inspections Per Year
The inspection program is not specific to Stage II as
the inspectors are not dedicated to Stage II. The
inspection frequency is once per year for private facilities
and 2 or 3 per year for retail service stations. They have
a computer system which indicates which stations are due for
their next inspection.
Inspection Procedures
Inspections generally concentrate on equipment defects,
and have additional defects identified by the district in
addition to the ARE defects.
F-6
-------
Handling of Violations
Any violations discovered are subject to fines. San
Diego does, however have a tag-out list with specific
offenses spelled out in the State laws.
MISCELLANEOUS ASPECTS OF PROGRAM
The San Diego is proud of Stage II program,
specifically in the areas of permitting and testing of
systems. Most of their effort has been concentrated on
their underground piping, as most of their problems occur in
that area.
PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND SUGGESTIONS TO OTHER AGENCIES
It is believed that the single most important element
to a Stage II program is to ensure that the systems are
initially installed correctly. It is estimated that over 50
percent of the stations would only get 50-60 percent
recovery without a rigid testing program to identify
improper systems.
The inspection program should be considered closely to
avoid creating a situation where inspectors are in effect
performing the maintenance program for the service stations.

[DRAFT: PENDING DISTRICT REVIEW]
Address: San Francisco, CA
Telephone: (415) 771-6000
Stage II Contact: Gale Karels
Bay Area Air Quality Management
REASON FOR INITIATING PROGRAM
The Bay Area AQMD was the first District in the country
to require Stage II controls (see enclosed Board of
Directors Resolution Number 764 - January 3, 1973). These
F-7
-------
Stage II controls were implemented as an ozone reduction
measure.
MAJOR PUBLIC COMMENTS
NUMBER OF SERVICE STATIONS
Stage II controls currently affect 2,027 retail
gasoline dispensing facilities (GDF) and 738 non-retail GDF
for a total Stage II nozzle population of 28,300 nozzles.
There are 424 GDF exempt from Stage II requirements.
APPROVED OR "CERTIFIED" SYSTEMS
The Bay Area only uses California Air Resources Board
(CARB) certified and tested Stage II recovery equipment.
ENFORCEMENT
Number of Inspectors
Bay Area presently has approximately six GDF inspectors
who report to one GDF supervisor.
Inspector Training
The GDF inspectors currently undergo a 24 hour training
course followed by a week working with an experienced
inspector. They are also required to attend the CARB
Uniform Training Course #232 (GDF Vapor Recovery). On a
quarterly basis the inspectors attend in-service training to
learn of any new requirements or inspection techniques.
Frequency of Inspections Per Year
The Bay Area inspects each retail facility at least
twice per year. For thise facilities with a poor compliance
record, the inspections may be conducted every three months.
F-8
-------
A list of GDF to be inspected each month is generated by our
computer. All inspection data is entered into our Data
Bank.
Inspection Procedures
Inspection procedures usually focus on general
equipment defects such as bellows, etc.
Handling of Violations
The Bay Area AQMD uses both the "Out of Order" program
and Notices of Violations depending on the severity of the
defects. The settlement costs of first time violation
notices usually range from $100 to $313.
MISCELLANEOUS ASPECTS OF PROGRAM
The Bay Area AQMD has adopted a Manual of Procedures
(MOP) for Permitting Gasoline Dispensing Facilities.
Enclosed is a copy of the Permitting Handbook.
The Bay Area has, according to CARB, the finest
computer tracking system for GDF. Enclosed are copies of
the Data Bank Files used by our District. A functional
computer tracking system is a definite requirement for
effective enforcement and permitting programs.
PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND SUGGESTIONS TO OTHER AGENCIES
It was felt that service stations are using the tagging
out of service program as a maintenance program. Facilities
tend not to replace equipment unless a violation is found by
an inspector.
Several recommendations were given that may aide areas
in implementation of Stage II controls. An effective
F-9
-------
training program is essential to successful maintenance of
Stage II controls.
Many suggestions were regarding permitting. The
development of standard permit conditions and recommended
practices for each type of system would help insure a well-
rounded program. These conditions would include stringent
testing requirements.

Name of Agency: South Coast Air Quality Management
District
[DRAFT: PENDING DISTRICT REVIEW]
Address: El Monte, CA
Telephone: (213) 403-3450
Stage II Contact:Lou Roberto
South Coast Air Quality Management
REASON FOR INITIATING PROGRAM
Stage II controls were implemented for VOC control as
the entire South Coast area has been classified as a non-
attainment area for the criteria pollutant ozone.
MAJOR PUBLIC COMMENTS
NUMBER OF SERVICE STATIONS
Stage II affects approximately 6,000 retail service
stations. The exact number of non-retail facilities is not
known.
REGULATIONS
Essentially, South Coast does not have any exemption
levels outside of stationary tanks exclusively for fueling
agricultural wind machines. These facilities are located in
the dessert.
F-10
-------
The compliance schedule can be found in Rule 461.
Gasoline Transfer and Dispensing (e)(l)2(2) & (3).
(1) The owner or operator of a new facility must
comply at the time gasoline receiving and/or dispensing
is initiated.
(2) Any owner/operator of any altered facility who
was previously exempted from the provisions of this
rule now must comply.
(3) Any owner/operator of any other existing
facility, who was previously exempt from the rule, who
has not earlier been required to come into compliance,
must achieve compliance by March 4, 1990.
IDENTIFICATION OF SOURCES
South Coast utilized their operating permit database to
identify which sources were subject to the changes. This
database contains a list of manufacturers' code which is
capable of distinguishing those types of service stations.
PERMIT APPLICATION PROCESS
A permit to construct must be issued to the facility in
order to begin the permit process. After this step, the
equipment is installed and the equipment is tested. The
inspectors to the backfill and the back pressure test
themselves. Once the inspection is complete and all
subsequent tests are passed, a permit is issued.
PROCEDURE AFTER PERMIT APPLICATION RECEIVED
F-ll
-------
APPROVED OR CERTIFIED SYSTEMS
South Coast only uses CARB certified Stage II vapor
recovery systems.
ENFORCEMENT
Number of Inspectors
The ideal number of inspectors for the service station
population is 15. South Coast currently has 12 inspectors
on staff. Their duties include Stage I as well as Stage II
inspection duties.
Inspector Training
Inspectors for the South Coast must attend a seven week
training program. For two weeks the trainees work in
conjunction with experienced instructors. They also have
training videos on inspection technique.
Frequency of Inspections
While they would like to average two inspections per
year, this is not possible because of the slight manpower
shortfall which leaves the inspection average at 1.9 times
per year. Their inspection program is not necessarily
geared to inspect each station twice annually, but rather it
is a priority inspection program. Stations which have
exhibited recurrent problems in the past are inspected three
times per year, average situations twice per year, and very
conscientious stations are only inspected once per year.
F-12
-------
Inspection Procedures
The inspection procedures consists of a visual
inspection of the nozzles, hoses, as well as an inspection
of the Stage I system. They inspect the burner for assist
systems and make sure it is operating properly.
Handling of Violations
South Coast Air Quality Division tags out equipment as
described by ARE rules/California law. They issue a notice
of violation when two tags are issued at a facility.
MISCELLANEOUS ASPECTS OF PROGRAM
South Coast is currently involved with an experimental
"self inspection" program where larger companies implement
their own inspection program. An overall evaluation of this
program has not been conducted.
PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND SUGGESTIONS TO OTHER AGENCIES
It has been suggested that any Stage II vapor recovery
program should ensure that the underground piping is
installed properly through testing and other means. The
public awareness aspect of a Stage II program is also
important. This awareness includes good equipment usage
instruction, the education of the service station industry,
self maintenance programs by all affected service stations,
and instruction courses provided by the air pollution
agency.

-------
Stage II Contact: Ron Wambsgang
REASON FOR INITIATING PROGRAM
Stage II controls have been implemented for the control
of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Washington, DC is an
area designated as non-attainment for the criteria pollutant
ozone.
NUMBER OF SERVICE STATIONS
Stage II affects approximately 150 retail gasoline
dispensing facilities in addition to a couple hundred
private or governmental facilities.
REGULATIONS
District of Columbia Air Rules 341:705.1-requires that
all gasoline dispensing facilities with the exception of
facilities available to the public by virtue of having some
membership or military status may have no more than one
nozzle which does not comply with requirements, or the same
facilities having 3 or less dispensing nozzles implement
Stage II vapor recovery equipment.
The compliance schedule is effective in accordance with
the District of Columbia Air Pollution Control Act of 1984.
IDENTIFICATION OF SOURCES
Gasoline dispensing facilities were identified by using
State Licensing Facility records. The major oil companies
were contacted and lists of facilities were given. The
notices for implementation were sent via the First Class
Mail.
PERMIT APPLICATION PROCESS
The facility sends the permit application to the proper
State agency. The application is subsequently reviewed and
a permit is issued if there are no problems.
F-14
-------
PROCEDURE AFTER APPLICATION RECEIVED
Once the permit is issued, an inspection is required.
Washington, DC uses an inspection checklist that must be
completed in order to determine if a facility is in
violation.
"APPROVED" OR "CERTIFIED" SYSTEMS
All vapor control systems will meet the requirements
for certification and shall be operated in accordance with
the Standards of the District of Columbia Air Pollution
Control Act of 1984 as established by the California State
Fire Marshall, the Division of Measurement Standards of the
Department of Food and Agriculture, or the Health and Safety
Code. These requirements are subject to change. Alternate
vapor recovery systems may also be used if they satisfy the
above requirements.
ENFORCEMENT
The Number of Inspectors and Frequency of Inspections
An exact number of inspectors could not be given due to
the fact that the inspectors are from several different
branches in the agency. There are relatively six
inspections a year for each station. All facilities are
inspected during the summertime due to the increase in ozone
at that time. Every report is submitted by an inspector
includes the checklist used.
Violations
The Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs has
found the most effective way of handling violations is
F-15
-------
through the Civil Infractions Program, which issues tickets
and subsequent fines. These fines range from $50-500
dollars.

Address: St. Louis, MO
Telephone: (314) 751-4817
Stage II Contact: Budd Pratt
Missouri Air Pollution Control Division
REASON FOR INITIATING PROGRAM
Stage II controls were implemented for VOC control as
the St. Louis area is classified as non-attainment area for
the criteria pollutant ozone.
MAJOR PUBLIC COMMENTS
NUMBER OF SERVICE STATIONS
It is estimated that there are approximately 1,200
gasoline dispensing facilities that will implement Stage II.
A breakdown of retail vs. non-retail facilities was
unavailable.
REGULATION
Missouri Administrative Code CSR10-5.220 requires that
storage tank with a capacity greater than 2,000 gallons must
be equipped with a submerged fill pipe in addition to
installing Stage II vapor control systems.
The compliance schedule is contained in CSR10-5.220.
It is stated that all affected gasoline loading
F-16
-------
installations with a monthly throughput greater than or
equal to 600,000 gallons per year, must achieve final
compliance by July 1, 1978. The compliance dates for
facilities with monthly throughputs between 600,000 and
120,000 gallons was August 12, 1986.
IDENTIFICATION OF SOURCES
The exact methods used in identifying sources could not
be determined at this time.
PERMIT APPLICATION PROCESS
Each facility receives a construction permit in order
to make the proper modifications. Facilities must send in
their individual plans for Stage II implementation.
Missouri Air Pollution Control reviews these plans and sends
the facility their consent to begin modifications.
PROCEDURE AFTER PERMIT APPLICATION RECEIVED
Once the facility has completed the modifications to
its facility, drive-by inspectors begin. Once an inspection
is made, that facility is entered into a data base. No
formal testing of the equipment is required.
APPROVED OR CERTIFIED SYSTEMS
Missouri uses only California Air Resources Board
(CARB) certified equipment as outlined by the Executive
Order. Any deviations of this equipment are non-negotiable.
ENFORCEMENT
Number of Inspections
In most areas, the inspections are conducted by county
employees that have other duties. Missouri inspectors have
a training session which includes use of a Stage II
orientation book distributed by CARB.
F-17
-------
Frequency of Inspections
The inspection program is set up such that after an
initial visit, the facility is entered into a database, from
there, inspections are scheduled twice a year. The
inspectors use an inspection checklist for each facility.
Violations
Missouri inspectors have found the "tag out" method to
be more effective than fines in handling violations. Once a
violation is discovered, the responsible party has 15 days
to correct it. A test of the appropriate equipment must be
performed and compliance proved through an outside
contractor. The facility must make an appointment to have
the inspector come again.
MISCELLANEOUS ASPECTS OF PROGRAM
A unique aspect of St. Louis is that they only allow
coaxial hoses for their gasoline dispensing facilities.

REASON FOR INITIATING PROGRAM
Originally, NJ proposed rules requiring Stage II vapor
recovery for the control of VOC emissions related to ozone
F-18
-------
formation. However, no final action was ever taken on this
proposal. Then, on September 14, 1987, the United States
District Court (in response to American Lung Association v.
Keen, Civil No. 87-288) ordered the DEP to propose a
schedule for prompt implementation of Stage II vapor
recovery. Therefore, the true motivation for the actual
adoption of the Stage II program was the Court order.
NUMBER OF SERVICE STATIONS
DEP estimates that there are approximately 5,300
facilities subject to the regulation. No breakdown was
available regarding for public vs. private.
REGULATIONS
New Jersey Administrative Code 7:27-16-3 (f) requires
that all gasoline dispensing facilities with throughputs
greater than 10,000 gallons per month install a vapor
control system that is "approved by the Department and that
is designed, operated and maintained so as: (1) To prevent
VOC emissions to the outdoor atmosphere by no less than 95
percent by weight . . ., and (2) To prevent overfilling and
spillage." Marine loading facilities are also exempt.
The compliance schedule is contained in 7:27-16-3 (r)
and (s). It is stated that all 40,000 gallons per month
facilities had to obtain a permit by March 21, 1988, begin
construction by June 21, 1988, and be in compliance by
December 30, 1988. The dates for facilities with monthly
throughputs between 10,000 and 40,000 gallons were November
1, 1988 for permits, March 1, 1989 for initiation of
construction, and December 29, 1989 for full compliance.
F-19
-------
There were some problems with the implementation
schedule. It is estimated that they had received
approximately 300 requests for extended compliance
schedules. The main reasons for these difficulties were
equipment and contractor availability.
IDENTIFICATION OF SOURCES
The DEP mailed a letter stating that a Stage II
equipment was required on every facility with an average
monthly throughput of 10,000 gallons or greater. Each
facility was required to obtain a Stage II permit which
indicated the type of system to be installed.
New Jersey law (N.J.A.C. 7:27-8.1) requires
owners/operators of air pollution control devices to obtain
permits to construct, install or alter air pollution control
devices prior to their installation. Once the permit
application is received by the DEP a review of the
application is conducted to determine whether the proposed
installation will meet the Department's "state of the art"
criteria. Actually, New Jersey relies on CARB certification
for this determination and the permit applications list
those systems which are approved.
Upon acceptance by the DEP, the permit is approved with
conditions requiring a pressure decay test and a liquid
blockage test within 90 days of installation of the
equipment. It further requires that documentation of such
tests be kept on site along with the approved permit.
APPROVED OR "CERTIFIED" SYSTEMS FOR THAT STATE
While, the regulation states that a system be used
which is "approved by the Department", the permit
applications list those the systems which are approved.
Actually, New Jersey relies on CARB certification for this
determination. The permit application actually lists the
CARB executive order number with the system.
F-20
-------
ENFORCEMENT
Number of Inspectors and Inspector Training
In most areas, the inspections are conducted by county
employees that have many other duties. The state provides
funding for each county participating in the program. New
Jersey inspectors have a two day training session which
include a Stage II training film (1 day in classroom, 1 day
in field).
Frequency of inspections
The inspection program is set up so that 20 percent of
the stations are to be inspected annually. This means that
each station should be inspected about every 5 years.
Inspection procedures
There is no inspection checklist used by New Jersey
inspectors. They feel that the use of checklists limits
what an inspector examines. The following are the typical
items covered during a Stage II inspection of a facility.
1) Check to see that the paperwork is on-site and
available for review. This includes the pressure
decay and liquid blockage test documentation and
the permits.
2) Check to determine if the type of system on the
permit is the system actually installed and in-use
at the facility. No mixing of equipment types is
allowed.
3) Inspect all nozzles, boots, face plates, and hoses
for any cuts, tears, or other types of disrepair.
Any sized hole or tear is considered a violation.
4) Check to see if any other problems exist with the
equipment. Examples of the things which could be
F-21
-------
checked are nozzle check valves, nozzle latches,
etc.
Violations
Detailed State policy regarding fines is in place and
used by the DEP. For each type of violation, they impose a
fine. They do not have a "list" of defects. The inspectors
determine what is considered to be a violation when the
equipment is not in the condition as permitted (re: Items 2,
3, and 4 above).
MISCELLANEOUS ASPECTS OF PROGRAM
An unique issue in New Jersey is that self service
facilities are not allowed so the general public does not
come directly in contact with the Stage II equipment. DEP
officials certainly believe this lessens the number of
complaints received from the public. No operating
instructions are required to be on the pumps and it is not
believed that much of the industry trains their personnel on
the proper usage of Stage II. There is an environmental
hotline for the State which handles all environmental
complaints, but no assessment has been done to determine the
number regarding Stage II.
PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND SUGGESTIONS TO OTHER AGENCIES
NJ DEP officials indicated that a problem exists for
facilities which have claimed an exemption based on
throughput. This is due to two reasons. The first is the
date listed in the regulation for determining throughput.
The exemption is for facilities with average monthly
throughput less than 10,000 gallons per month and "average
F-22
-------
monthly throughput shall be based on the average of the
monthly throughputs between September 1, 1986, and August
31, 1987". The situation was brought up that a station
could have increased its throughput in the 4 years since
that time to be above the cutoff, but is not required to
install Stage II. Another problem is that documentation
requirements for determining throughputs is not clearly
stated and is relatively easy to "hide" throughput so that
one falls below the cutoff. New regulation will alleviate
all the above problems.
NJ DEP representatives felt it would be a good idea to
require that additional tests be conducted when the tanks,
piping and other components are replaced.

Conservation (DEC)
Address: Albany, NY
Stage II Contact: Robert S. Praisner
Division/Section: Sr. Engineering Technician
REASON FOR INITIATING PROGRAM
In 1982, the New York DEC submitted a SIP to EPA that
did not include Stage II and also did not demonstrate
compliance. The Governor indicated a commitment to
demonstrate attainment but Stage II was still not
implemented. However, the Natural Resources Defense Council
(NRDC) sued New York to require Stage II. Stage II controls
were implemented for VOC control as the metropolitan area is
designated non-attainment for ozone.
NUMBER OF SERVICE STATIONS
The metropolitan area of New York has approximately
2400 to 3000 gasoline dispensing facilities. A breakdown of
retail versus non-retail was not available.
F-23
-------
REGULATIONS
Installation of Stage II began in April 1988 and
service stations with gasoline throughput greater than
500,000 gallons per year had until July 1988 to comply, and
those stations with a gasoline throughput greater than
250,000 gallons per year had until July 1989 to comply.
PERMIT APPLICATION PROCESS
Each affected facility must file for a permit to
construct and operate. An outside contractor tests the
equipment and the results are sent to the Department of
Environmental Conservation (DEC).
PROCEDURE AFTER PERMIT APPLICATION RECEIVED
Once the permit application is received by the DEC, and
the results from the contractor have been reviewed, a permit
is mailed to the facility.
ENFORCEMENT
Number of Inspectors and Inspection Training & Frequency of
Inspection
The NYDEC would only commit to saying that they inspect
their facilities "periodically". It is felt that twice per
year, random inspections is the best way to enforce the
regulations.
The NYDEC currently uses 6 inspectors to inspect
facilities in the nine county New York Metropolitan Area.
Inspection Procedures
The NYDEC does utilize an equipment checklist for the
inspectors to follow during each inspection.
Violations
New York does not use "Tag-Out-of-Service" procedures
like those used in other States. New York has established a
fine or fee system for each violation.
F-24
-------
MISCELLANEOUS ASPECTS OF PROGRAM
The NYDEC regulations require a system that is 90
percent efficient. The NYDEC has a policy that they cannot
cite another State's code, therefore, the NYDEC could not
allow a wholesale acceptance of equipment certified in
California. The NYDEC had to come up with its own approval
or certification methods. Certification in California,
however, may be sufficient proof to NYDEC that the system
could be installed in New York.
PROGRAM REGULATORY AGENCY INFORMATION
Name of Agency: Metropolitan Dade County, Florida
Department of Environmental Resources
Management (DERM)
Stage II Contact: Robert Wong
Division/Section: Environmental Monitoring Division/Air
Section
Telephone: (305) 858-0601
REASON FOR INITIATING PROGRAM
Dade County is designated by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) as a nonattainment area for the
pollutant ozone. Stage II implementation will serve as a
long-term measure to prevent smog which is directly related
to uncontrolled releases of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs). Additionally, Stage II is seen as an immediate and
effective measure to reduce public exposure to benzene
emissions from gasoline refueling.
MAJOR PUBLIC COMMENTS
DERM indicated that there have been few major comments
other than the independent service station owners queries as
to where the financial backing will come from. Represent-
atives of both major oil companies and independent service
stations requested an advance period for compliance with
Stage II requirements.
F-25
-------
NUMBER OF SERVICE STATIONS
It is estimated that approximately 2,000 service
stations exist in metropolitan Dade County. A breakdown of
private versus public stations was unavailable.
REGULATION
A Stage II policy adopted pursuant to the Dade County
Administrative Code Section 24-20 requires that all gasoline
service stations that dispense 10,000 gallons or more
gasoline/ gasohol per month are required to install Stage II
vapor recovery equipment. Existing facilities have until
December 14, 1992 to comply and new facilities without
certificate of occupancy are required to comply immediately.
IDENTIFICATION OF SOURCES
Service stations were identified through Dade County's
rigorous underground piping program.
PERMIT APPLICATION PROCESS
Each facility must complete the Stage II Vapor Recovery
System Specifications form for each system and submit to
DERM for approval. Within 90 days following completion of
the installation of the vapor recovery equipment, a written
notification of such installation and arrangements for a
certification test must be done.
PROCEDURE AFTER PERMIT APPLICATION RECEIVED
Once the permit application is received DERM assumes
that the Stage II equipment is being installed and plans to
inspect the day of certification testing. The two tests
used to determine the certification of the system are a
pressure decay test and a liquid blockage test. A
certification number will be issued after the DERM air
section approves the test results.
F-26
-------
APPROVED OR "CERTIFIED" SYSTEMS FOR THAT STATE
DERM will accept (the latest generation) systems
currently certified by California Air Resources Board (GARB)
as outlined in their Executive Order. Only coaxial hose
vapor recovery systems will be approved. Original
manufacturer rebuilt nozzles will only be approved and
existing dispensers shall be retrofitted with original
manufacturers parts only. Existing facilities have until
December 14, 1992 to comply. New facilities, however, must
apply for a permit immediately if they do not have a
certificate of occupancy.
ENFORCEMENT
Number of Inspectors and Inspector Training
Dade County presently has approximately 6 people who
conduct the inspections in addition to their other duties.
The training program entails a Stage II training video, as
well participation in equipment manufacturers seminars.
Frequency of Inspections
The inspection program is still very much in the
planning stages and is subject to be modified. At present,
it is intended that the initial inspection occurs on the
system certification test date, with a follow-up after
approximately 3 years. Compliance inspectors will also
perform routine inspections or respond to complaints
received.
Inspection Procedures
The inspectors are present to make sure the type of
system on the permit is actually the one that is installed.
They inspect all nozzles, boots, faceplates and hoses for
any cuts, tears, or other types of disrepair, and any other
possible problems that might exist.
Violations
Because it is early in their program, DERM has not had
to handle any violations, but when a violation is discovered
F-27
-------
a Notice of Violation will be sent prior to follow up
enforcement by DERM.
PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND SUGGESTIONS TO OTHER AGENCIES
DERM reports no major problems so far during
implementation. DERM representatives advise other States
that are thinking about implementing Stage II to recommend
that service stations install the necessary piping, and to
require that only the latest coaxial vapor recovery systems
be approved and that a certification program be instituted
to ensure that the system needs performance standards.

-------
MAJOR PUBLIC COMMENTS
There were three major issues raised during the public
comment process. One, the installation and maintenance cost
estimates were generally found to be either too high or low.
Two, the time schedule for the petroleum industry to comply
with Stage II regulations was a problem. Three, Stage II
itself is an inefficient method for controlling Volatile
Organic Compound emissions (VOC).
NUMBER OF SERVICE STATIONS
Stage II will affect 1,000 gas stations in the first
year of implementation and up to 2,400 gas stations by April
of 1993.
REGULATIONS
Massachusetts Administrative Code 310 CMR 7.24(6)
requires that all gasoline dispensing facilities which have
been constructed or substantially modified on or before
November 1, 1989 and at which any time since January 1, 1988
have had a throughput of at least 20,000 gallons in any one
calendar month, or any dispensing facility that was modified
after November 1, 1989 install Stage II vapor control
systems regardless of size. The retrofit of the existing
stations will take place over three years, according to the
following schedule:
• by April 1, 1991 where the annual (calendar year)
throughput of the motor vehicle fuel dispensing
facility is 1,000,000 gallons of motor vehicle fuel
or more;or
• by April 1, 1992 where the annual throughput of the
motor vehicle dispensing facility is 500,000 gallons
or more of motor vehicle fuel, but less than
1,000,000 gallons; or
• by April 1, 1993 for any motor vehicle fuel
dispensing facility dispensing less than 500,000
gallons per year, and more than 20,000 gallons per
month.
F-29
-------
Facilities, constructed or modified after November 1,
1989 must install and operate Stage II by April 1, 1991 or
at the time of construction or modification, whichever is
later.
IDENTIFICATION OF SOURCES
Sources were identified utilizing State licensing
agencies, in addition to contacting major oil companies for
their lists. The Department of Environmental Quality
Engineering delivered notices of the pending regulations to
the service stations through mass mailings and certified
mail.
PERMIT APPLICATION PROCESS
Each facility is required to obtain and complete a
Stage II registration and classification form that contains
information regarding the owner of that facility, the
complete mailing address, business phone, annual and monthly
throughput information, fuel dispenser, and a signed
statement certifying the information provided is accurate.
The next step is the permit application itself. The
same general information regarding station location and
owner etc. is included on this page, as well as additional
information. The form lists the type of vapor collection
and control system that will be installed, the number of
nozzles, hoses etc. to be installed, and the anticipated
completion date of installation.
PROCEDURE AFTER APPLICATION RECEIVED
Field inspection to verify proper installation is the
most cursory assessment of compliance. To accomplish
verification of as many sites as possible, a protocol for
"drive-by" or screening inspections was developed. It will
be used during the first month or two after a compliance
deadline is passed. It is a one time check unless
F-30
-------
violations are found, in which case a full facility
compliance inspection is done.
The full facility compliance inspection involves a
checklist containing specific pieces of equipment which must
be checked in order to assure proper installation and
maintenance. When the inspection is complete, the
owner/service station manager is given a receipt that states
that an inspector has visited the facility.
Upon completion of the report by the inspector, it is
determined whether or not the facility is in compliance and
a permit is presented accordingly.
APPROVED OR "CERTIFIED" SYSTEMS FOR THAT STATE
The regulation states that a system must be GARB
certified in order for approval. The permit application
lists the CARB Executive Order number. This rule is very
stringent and any modifications are not subject to
discussion.
ENFORCEMENT
Number of Inspectors and Inspector Training
A compliance coordinator has a master fuel dispensing
facility list which identifies facilities assigned for
screening inspectors as well as full inspection and
identification of any necessary follow-up action and the
person assigned to take on that action.
State employees chosen to participate in screening
inspections are required to attend a 2-hour training session
where they are briefed on the program and trained to
visually identify vapor recovery equipment in the field.
Full facility inspection training involves all of the
above in addition to training in examining equipment for
proper installation and maintenance. The staff are also
F-31
-------
trained in the protocols for documenting each inspection and
taking enforcement action.
Frequency Inspections
Screening inspections should be completed within 4
weeks of April 1, 1991. No further action will be taken if
no violations are found. Facilities could be scheduled for
full inspection on a random basis throughout the year, every
year.
Inspection Procedures
The screening inspections require that the screeners
identify each or most of the fuel dispensers, product hoses,
and nozzles on the site. A full facility inspection has an
inspection form that must be filled out completely. The
product dispensers, hoses, nozzles, and tank seals as well
as signs must be examined and listed.
Violations
When a violation is discovered, a notice of
noncompliance (NON) is issued. The facility has 21 days to
either:
1. submit evidence of compliance
2. not submit evidence of compliance
3. submit evidence that they cannot comply due to a
third party
An Administrative Consent Order (AGO) is issued which gives
the facility specified time to comply. If found guilty of
violations, the facility will be fined. Penalties are
assessed using the Guidelines for Calculating Administrative
Penalties.
MISCELLANEOUS ASPECTS OF PROGRAM
Massachusetts Air Quality Division has provided a Stage
II information line for questions, complaints, and general
information queries for the station owners and operators.
F-32
-------
PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND SUGGESTIONS
The Massachusetts Division of Air Quality Control
indicated that the Stage II phase-in has gone relatively
smoothly. One of the main difficulties with the program was
properly identifying sources. Division of Air Quality
Control did not give any suggestions on how to remedy this.
Another problem mentioned was the shortage of staffing that
they encountered. They suggested that States be aware of
the kind of manpower a project like this entails.

Philadelphia Air Management
REASON FOR INITIATING PROGRAM
Stage II controls were implemented for volatile organic
compounds (VOC), toxics and benzene as the entire
Philadelphia metropolitan area is classified as non-
attainment for ozone.
NUMBER OF SERVICE STATIONS
Representatives from the Philadelphia Department of
Public Health, Air Management Services (AMS) estimate a
total of approximately 300 retail and non-retail facilities.
REGULATION
Philadelphia Air Management Region V, Section V.C
requires that the following gasoline dispensing facilities
install Stage II vapor control equipment:
1. Any existing gasoline dispensing facility with a
Total gasoline throughput equal to or greater than
10,000 gallons per calendar month, based on

d. Any existing gasoline dispensing facility with
a gasoline throughput of less than 500,000
gallons per year shall comply with the vapor
control requirements not later than June 25,
1993.
Any gasoline dispensing facility, or part thereof,
regardless of gasoline throughput quantity, which is
constructed, reconstructed or modified, except for minor
repairs or alterations, after the effective date of the
regulation (June 15, 1990).
IDENTIFICATION OF SOURCES
The proper gasoline dispensing facilities were
identified primarily through lists provided by the major oil
companies. The Department of Licenses and Inspections,
Flammable Liquid Licensing inventory was also employed to
potential facilities.
PERMIT/LICENSE APPLICATION PROCESS
The owner or operator of each affected gasoline
dispensing facility must apply for an installation permit
F-34
-------
and obtain an annual operating license, as provided in the
Air Management Code. Compliance inspections of facilities
will be conducted by authorized representatives of AMS to
verify installation, permit conformity, and proper operation
and maintenance of vapor control systems. Annual operating
license issuance and renewal is subject to approval by AMS
and continuing compliance of the facility with all
applicable operating requirements.
APPROVED OR "CERTIFIED" SYSTEMS
Only certified Stage II gasoline vapor recovery
equipment will be approved by AMS for installation at
gasoline dispensing facilities as referenced by the State of
California Executive Orders. Certification of gasoline
vapor control systems will be accomplished pursuant to
applicable requirements and procedures of the Commercial and
Industrial Fire Inspection Unit of the Department of
Licenses and Inspections. All compliance certification
testing (pressure and blockage testing) must be completed
prior to initial operation following installation of vapor
recovery and control equipment. Also, the owner or operator
of each affected facility must provide adequate training and
written instructions and procedures for facility employees
related to proper operation, maintenance and use of the
Stage II vapor control system. Documentation of such
training, instructions and procedures must be made available
to AMS upon request.
ENFORCEMENT
Number of Inspectors and Inspector Training
There are approximately 10 field inspectors assigned
within the city of Philadelphia. The inspectors are trained
in Stage II inspection techniques in cooperation with the
State of New Jersey officials who are already enforcing
Stage II requirements. Annual operating license issuance
and renewal is subject to approval to AMS.
F-35
-------
Handling of Violations
Violations of Stage II control requirements will be
handled according to established local enforcement
procedures.
VIOLATIONS
Violations are generally handled on a case-by-case
basis with the facility in violation usually receiving a
notice of violation which would indicate the exact nature of
the violation along with an offer settlement subject to
prompt resolution of the violation. Frequent or protracted
instances of violation are referred to the city's law dept
for legal action.

THE STAGE II PROGRAM
You may have noticed a new type of
nozzle on the pumps at the gasoline station
where you normally fill up your car. The
new nozzles are part of the Stage 11 Vapor
Recovery program—a major air pollution
prevention initiative by the Department of
Environmental Protection.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Stage II system is designed
to prevent the escape of gasoline vapors
into the atmosphere while your car is being
filled up. Each pump is equipped with an
accordion-like sheath, or bellows, and a
coaxial hose (a hose within a hose). With
Stage II in place, the vapors which are
displaced from your tank by the gasoline
being dispensed into it are captured and
recycled. DEP is requiring installation of
Stage II at the largest service stations in
Massachusetts by April 1991. Alt but the
smallest gas stations will be equipped with
vapor recovery systems by the middle of
1993.
DMffm •fAi'&oHtj Control \U (17-
55110)5 or writt Hi Division ttt Out Winter
CLEANER AIR
By 1993, Stage II vapor recovery
systems will reduce air pollution from
gasoline stations in Massachusetts by an
average of 24.6 tons per day, or a total of
9,000 tons annually. And from Day One,
they will substantially reduce gasoline
odors at the pump.
REDUCED HEALTH RISKS
Gasoline vapors contribute to
ground-level ozone, or smog, which
aggravates respiratory ailments such as
asthma, bronchitis and emphysema. Smog
can make it difficult even for healthy people
to breathe comfortably. Gas vapors also
contain cancer-causing agents. So Stage II
greatly reduces your exposure to harmful
substances.
17 NERGY CONSERVATION
M-J Vapors recovered by Stage II go
back to underground storage tanks where
they are condensed into gasoline. In
Massachusetts, that will mean a savings of
nearly three million gallons of fuel per
year.
T?IRE PREVENTION
JP Stage II helps reduce the hazard of
fire at service stations by preventing the
escape of flammable vapors.
THREE IMPORTANT WAYS
YOU can help make Stage II
Vapor Recovery work even better:
• Don't "lop off' your lank. If
you try to pump more gas into your car
after the nozzle has automatically shut
off, fuel travels down the vapor hose and
blocks the line. If that happens, you or
the next customer could he sprayed with
gasoline. And in extreme cases, it can
cause equipment failure.
• If the noz/le doesn't work and
a sign has not been posted to indicate it is
out of order, tell the station attendant.
• If you have any questions or
comments about vapor recovery or wish
to complain about faulty equipment,
please call the Stage II office at DEP's
Division of Air Quality Control.

APPENDIX H
STAGE II REGULATIONS
Development of appropriate rules is necessary in order
to satisfy the intent of the program and determine
individual facility compliance. As with any regulation,
Stage II regulations should be clearly written and specific.
The rules should contain definitions; requirements for the
equipment installation, operation, and maintenance;
exemptions levels; compliance schedules; and testing and
recordkeeping requirements. Many Stage II regulations also
require that operating instructions be posted at the pumps.
This appendix containes copies of current Stage II
regulations. Specifically, this appendix contains the

230.3 Gasoline transport vehicles — applicability.
This Part applies to owners and operators of all
gasoline transport vehicles which:
(a) deliver gasoline to any gasoline dispensing site
required to be equipped with a stage 1 vapor collection
system or equivalent, including such gasoline dispensing
sites located in states adjacent to New York State; or
(b) convey gasoline either to or from any gasoline
loading terminal or gasoline bulk plant, located in the
New York City metropolitan area, which is required to
be equipped with a vapor control system or equivalent
control.
230.4 Gasoline transport vehicles — prohibitions and
requirements.
(a) No owner or operator of a gasoline transport
vehicle subject to this Part will allow said vehicle to be
filled or emptied unless the gasoline transport vehicle:
(1) sustains a pressure change of not more than three
inches of water (six millimeters of mercury) in five
minutes when pressurized to a gauge pressure of 18
inches of water (34 millimeters of mercury) and evacuat-
ed to a gauge pressure of six inches of water (11
millimeters of mercury);
(2) is repaired by the owner or operator within 15
days after failing to meet the pressure change standard
in this section; and
(3) displays a marking, near the U.S. Department of
Transportation certificate plate, in letters and numerals
at least two inches high, which reads: NYS DEC and the
date on which the gasoline transport vehicle was last
(b) All gasoline transport vehicles subject to this Part
must be tested annually by the owner or his agent, using
test methods acceptable to the commissioner. Reference
method 27 in Appendix A of 40 CFR part 60 is consid-
ered to be an acceptable method. (See table 1, section
200 9 of this Title.) If the pressure-vacuum test does not
show compliance with the pressure change standard, the
gasoline transport vehicle must be repaired to make the
tank vapor-tight, and retested.
(c) All gasoline transport vehicles subject to this Part
must undergo a pressure-vacuum test within one year
after the effective date of this Part [April 11, 1985], and
each succeeding test is to be done within one year of the
previous test.
(d) At the discretion of the commissioner, the require-
ments for testing and marking gasoline transport vehi-
cles subject to this Part may be satisfied if the vehicle
undergoes equivalent certification in another state.
(e) During the loading or unloading of a gasoline
transport vehicle subject to this Part, leakage from any
component of the gasoline transport vehicle, or the vapor
collection or control system, will not equal or exceed 100
percent of the lower explosive limit (LEL measured as
propane), when measured at a distance of one inch with
a combustible gas detector. No avoidable visible liquid
leak from such components is allowed. Components ot
the transport vehicle or vapor collection or control sys-
tem include all piping, seals, hoses, connections, pres-
sure-vacuum seals, and other possible leak sources. The
combustible gas detector used for determining compli-
ance with this standard will have a minimum range of 0-
100 percent of the LEL as propane, a probe within an
internal diameter of one quarter inch (0.625 cm), and a
response time less than eight seconds with sampling line
and probe attached, and be properly calibrated.
(0 No owner or operator of a gasoline transport
vehicle subject to this Part will allow said vehicle to be
loaded under a pressure exceeding 18 inches of water
(34 millimeters of mercury) gauge, or to be unloaded
under a vacuum exceeding six inches of water (11
millimeters of mercury) gauge.

loaded, unloaded or in motion, except when gasoline
transport vehicles are hatch-loaded in conformance with
section 229.6(c)(2) or 229.7(a)(2) of this Title.
230.5 Gasoline dispensing sites — recordkeeping and
reporting.
(a) The owner of any gasoline dispensing site in the
New York City metropolitan area must maintain rec-
ords showing the quantity of all gasoline delivered to the
site. These records must be retained for at least two
years, and must be made available to the commissioner
or his representative upon request at any reasonable
time.
(b) The sum of all gasoline deliveries to a gasoline
dispensing site during the previous 12 consecutive
months will be used to determine whether the require-
ments of section 230.2 of this Part apply. Once a
gasoline dispensing site becomes subject to the require-
ments of section 230.2 because its annual gasoline
throughput exceeds an applicability level, subsequent
decreases in gasoline deliveries or throughput do not
excuse a source owner from having to maintain the
effectiveness of the stage I and/or stage II equipment.
230.6 Gasoline transport vehicles — recordkeeping and
reporting.
(a.) The owner of any gasoline transport vehicle sub-
ject to this Part must maintain records of pressure-
vacuum testing and repairs. The records must include
the identity of the gasoline transport vehicle, the results
of the testing, the date that the testing and repairs, as
needed, were done, the nature of needed repairs and the
date of retests where appropriate.
(b) A copy of the most recent pressure-vacuum test
results, in a form acceptable to the commissioner, must
be kept with the gasoline transport vehicle.
(c) Records acceptable to the commissioner must be
retained for two years after the testing occurred, and
must be made available to the commissioner or his
representative on request at any reasonable time.
230.7 Compliance schedules.
(a) Any person subject to the stage I vapor collection
requirements for gasoline dispensing sites of this Part
must have submitted a proposed schedule to the commis-
sioner which includes specific steps and dates necessary
to comply with the provisions of this Part by January 1,

20,000 gallons or more of such organic material are loaded in
any one day from this facility unless this facility is
equipped with a vapor recovery system properly installed,
well maintained, in operation, and approved by the
Department. Such a vapor recovery system shall be capable of
collecting the organic materials emitted from the filling
operation and disposing of these emissions so as to prevent
their release to the atmosphere. All loading connections in
the system shall be equipped with fittings which shall be
vapor tight and will automatically and immediately close upon
disconnection so as to prevent organic material emissions
from these fittings. This Section shall not apply to the
loading of fuel tanks of motor vehicles as defined by the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
B. No person shall load or permit the loading of any organic
material having a Reid^ vapor pressure of 4.0 pounds or
greater from any tank truck, tank car, or trailer into any
stationary storage container with a capacity of 250 gallons
or more unless such container is equipped with a permanent
submerged fill pipe and unless the organic vapors displaced
during the filling of the stationary storage container are
controlled by a system that prevents release to the
atmosphere, at the transfer location, of at least 90 percent
by weight of the displaced organic vapors. Such installations
shall be made in accordance with applicable provisions of
Title 5 of the Philadelphia Code. All vapor line and
liquid-fill line connections and fittings shall be vapor
tight and positive closure devices shall be employed to
prevent vapors from being emitted at ground level.
In addition to the above requirements, if the vapor control
system incorporates vapor return to the delivery vessel, the
following provisions shall apply:
1. The vapor return system shall corisist of a vapor
tight return line from the storage container to the
delivery vessel and a system to ensure that the vapor
return line is connected between the delivery vessel and
storage container before material can be transferred to
the storage container.

3. COMPLETENESS
The following information is needed to make this determination:
A. Application must be filled out completely and accurately and include all
information pertinent to the project (see Exhibit I).
B. If construction of underground tank or piping is planned (including vapor
.recovery piping), vapor recovery construction drawings must be submitted that
dearly demonstrates a current California Air Resources Board (CARB) certified
vapor recovery configuration. Drawings must include tank and, dispenser
locations, dispenser island configuration, vapor recovery piping diameters,
piping manifolds (if any) and piping slope.
(07/09/91) I.3_2

numbers for dispensers, nozzles, hoses, swivels, as well as breakaways,
overhead retractors, liquid pickups, remote vapor check valves, blending
valves, and splash bucket drain valves (if applicable).
D. All authority to construct and/or permit to operate fees must be paid.
4. REGULATIONS
Gasoline Dispensing Facilities are subject to the California Health and Safety Code and
the following District regulations:
Regulation 2. Rule 1: Permit Regulation
Regulation 3: Fees
Regulation 8, Rule 7: Gasoline Dispensing Facilities
The CARB G-70 Series of Executive Orders are part of Regulation 8, Rule 7 by
reference.
Regulation 8, Rule 40: Removal of Underground Storage Tanks.
5. ABATEMENT EQUIPMENT
Gasoline Dispensing Facilities (GDF's) are a source of Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOC's) in the form of gasoline vapors. The abatement equipment used for capture of
these emissions is designated as Phase I and Phase II vapor recovery equipment.
Phase I is the designation for equipment that captures vapors that would be emitted
during delivery of gasoline to the GDF. Phase II is the designation for equipment that
captures vapors that would be emitted during fueling of vehicles at the GDF.
Phase I and Phase II vapor recovery systems must be installed at all new or modified
GDPs in the District which are not specifically exempted. Such systems are considered
abatement devices since the utilization of such equipment decreases the amount of
gasoline vapor emitted into the atmosphere. A list of exemptions from vapor recovery,
but not from permits, is in Sections 8-7-111 and 8-7-112 of Regulation 8, Rule 7 (GDF's
installed after March 4, 1987 are not eligible for the low throughput exemptions). All
Phase I and Phase II equipment and systems to be installed must be currently certified
by the California Air Respurces Board (CARB).
The CARB certification program is a procedural process which includes evaluation of a
system, a 90 day operational test of prototype equipment at a test site, an efficiency test
to determine 95% efficiency of a system (which includes a dynamic back pressure test
and a vapor leak test) and the approval of three other state agencies (State Fire
Marshall, Division of Measurement Standards of the Department of Food and
Agriculture, and the Division of Occupational Safety and Health). Conformance with
CARB Certification is demonstrated through piping configuration, equipment list and
District source test procedures ST-27 and ST-30.
6. STANDARDS
A. Standards that must be met before a permit can be Issued:
1. The design and equipment installed at the site must be currently
certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
T 3_
-------
2. The applicable requirements of BAAQMD Regulation 8, Rule 7,
Sections 301 through 312, must be met.
3. Within twenty (20) days of'completion of equipment installation (start-
up) compliance with all Authority to Construct conditions shall be
demonstrated by the applicant.
4. Signed 'As-Built* construction drawings shall be submitted within
twenty (20) days of start-up.
B. Toxics
A GDF with vapor recovery equipment that is in compliance with CARB
requirements and has an annual throughput of less than 2.5MM gallons/year is
in compliance with the District's risk management procedure. All GDF's with an
annual throughput of greater than 2.5MM gallons/year are subject to a Toxics
Review. (A year is defined to be any consecutive 12 month period.)
7. EMISSIONS
According to CARB, uncontrolled emissions due to tank filling, vehicle fueling, and
minor spillage are approximately 21.2 pounds of VOC per 1000 gallons of gasoline
dispensed. The uncontrolled baseline emissions for each station shall be calculated by
multiplying the annual throughput by the 21.2 pounds of VOC per 1000 gallons of
gasoline.
The controlled baseline emissions shall be estimated by multiplying the uncontrolled
baseline emissions by the percent of the emissions which would not normally be
controlled by a fully functional Phase II system. The equation used to calculate these
emissions is as follows:
Controlled = Annual x 21.2 Ibs VOC x (1.00-0.95)
Baseline Throughput 1000 Gallons
8. CONDITIONS
Authority to Construct conditions ensure that vapor recovery systems are built to
operate efficiently and in compliance with District regulations and CARB certification
orders. For GDFs, the conditions are based on the type of vapor recovery equipment
used, the throughput, and the configuration of the station. A Permit to Operate will not
be issued until all conditions listed in the Authority to Construct have been met.
All performance tests required by the Authority to Construct shall be performed within
ten (10) days of system start-up and will be submitted on the District reporting form for
the applicable test procedure within twenty (20) days of start-up. Failure to complete
performance tests may result in enforcement action.
The results of all performance tests required by the Authority to Construct shall
demonstrate compliance with the appropriate standards or limits.

11. TOXICS
Any GDF with a throughput of less than 2.5MM gallons/year that is in compliance with
the vapor recovery requirements in Regulation 8, Rule 7, is in compliance with the Air
Toxic Screening Policy. The exception is whenever a new GDF is proposed at a
location that is within 1000 feet of a school. In this case, the applicant must comply
with the provisions of Regulation 2, Rule 1, Section 412: Public Notice, Schools.
If the GDF has an annual throughput of greater than 2.5MM gallons/year, the GDF shall

Gasoline Storage and Transfer
All gasoline stations In Nassau, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester Counties plus the five Boroughs of New
York City must complete this form to comply with Part 230 of the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation Law. This completed form should be accompanied by site plans which Include drawings of the
Stage II underground piping system from the dispensers to the tanks, and piping to the vents. In addition, all
completed forms must be submitted to your local DEC Regional Office with the application fee accompanying
it. Part 230 is designed to limit the emission of gasoline vapors into the atmosphere. The inventory portion of
this form will be used to determine how much gasoline vapor is emitted to the atmosphere from gasoline
dispensing sites.
Air pollution control devices are required on certain gasoline storage tanks and dispensing pumps. Most tanks
must be equipped with submerged fill and a vapor balance and return system during loading operations. Some
gasoline dispensing stations require a Stage II vapor collection system which captures the vapors from the
motor vehicle fuel tank and transfers them to the underground tanks.
Copies of Part 230, booklets on Stage II containing descriptions of DEC approved systems, and assistance in
completing this form may be obtained from any DEC Regional Office.
All applicants must complete Sections A and B. Please note that each line in Section B contains information
for each individual tank. One line should be filled out for each tank at the service station.

APPENDIX J
STAGE II INSTALLATION TEST METHODS
While efficiency testing is not practical for each
service station, there are tests that indicate improper
installation of underground Stage II vapor piping. These
tests are the pressure decay/leak test, the dynamic back-
pressure test, and the liquid blockage test. Testing
requirements are usually included as a permit condition. After
a brief description of the test methods, various test methods
from San Diego and Bay Area Districts of California are
contained in this appendix. There are five tests discussed in
Chapter 6.
1. Pressure Decay/Leak Test. This test procedure is
also sometimes called simply the leak test. Example test
procedures are contained in sections J.I and J.5 of this
appendix.
2. Dynamic Pressure Drop Test. This test method is also
referred to as the pressure vs. flow test, and sometimes the
"dry" pressure drop test. Copies of this test method are
contained in section J.2 and J.4 of this appendix.
3. Liquid Blockage Test. The test methods for the
dynamic pressure drop test are used to test for liquid
blockage. This is also sometimes referred to as the "wet"
pressure drop test. The methods in J.2 and J.4 discuss this
variation of the test method.
4. Liquid Removal Device Test. This test method is
contained in section J.3.
5. Flow rate determination. This test procedure is
discussed in Chapter 6. However, since this only involves
timing as gasoline is being dispensed, no test method is

6.3 Insure that all Phase I couplers are equipped with a locking dust cap. Replace
the manhole covers as a safety precaution.
6.4 Disconnect the dispenser end of one vapor recovery hose and install the 'T'
connector assembly (see Figure 30-2). Connect the nitrogen gas supply (do not use air),
and the pressure gauge to'T1 connector.
6.4.1 For those Phase II systems utilizing a remote vapor check valve, the "T1
connector assembly shall be installed on the vapor nser side of the check valve unless the
remote check valve is disabled by removing the poppet on the fuel side.
6.5 Install the vent cap asserably(s) (see Figure 30-1). For manifolded systems all
storage tank vent pipes shall be capped during the test
6.6 If the storage tank vent pipe is open, and easily accessible, a modified version
of the "T connector may be installed at the vent pipe (see Figure 30-3). This will allow the
test to be conducted without any dispenser modifications. This is advantageous at certain
facilities using coaxial Phase II systems.
7. Testing
7.1 Open the nitrogen gas supply valve, regulate the delivery pressure to 5 psig,
and pressurize the vapor system (or subsystem for individual vapor return line systems) to
or slightly above 10 inches H2O initial pressure. It is critical to maintain the nitrogen flow
until both flow and pressure stabilize, indicating temperature and vapor pressure
stabilization in the tanks. Check the vent cap assembly(s) and T" connector assembly
using leak detecting solution to verify that the test equipment is leak tight.
7.2 Close the nitrogen supply valve and start the stopwatch when the pressure
decreases to the initial starting pressure of 10 inches of water column.
7.3 After each minute record the system pressure. After five minutes, record the
final system pressure. See Table 30-1 to determine the acceptability of the final system
pressure results.
7.4 If the system failed to meet the criteria set forth in Table I repressurize the
system and check all accessible vapor connections using leak detector solution or a
combustible gas detector. If vapor leaks in the system are encountered, repair or replace
the defective component and repeat the test.
7.5 Carefully remove the vent cap assembly(s). Allow any remaining pressure to be
relieved through vent pipe(s). Keep all potential ignition sources away from the vent
pipe(s).
7.6 After the pressure is relieved, remove the "T" connector assembly and
reconnect the vapor recovery hose. If the fuel poppet was removed from a remote vapor
check valve to conduct this test, carefully replace the poppet and reconnect the vapor
hose.
7.7 If the vapor recovery system utilizes individual vapor return lines, repeat the
leak test for each of the other gasoline grades. Avoid leaving any vapor return line open
longer than is necessary to install or remove the "T" connector assembly.
8. Reporting
8.1 The calculated ullage and system pressures for each five minute vapor recovery
system test shall be reported as shown in Figure 30-4.

SOURCE TEST PROCEDURE ST-27
GASOLINE DISPENSING FACILITY
DYNAMIC BACK PRESSURE
REF: Regulation 8-7-302
1. Applicability
i j- y ^ P59cedure is used to quantify the dynamic back pressure in the vapor path
leading from the dispensing nozzle to the underground tank, inclusively. It is applicable ir
all cases where vapor balance or Hirt vacuum assist Phase II systems are utilized
2. Principle
i?'1!. "H^ dynamic back pressure during refueling is simulated by passing nitroeer
through the Phase II recovery system at a constant rate. The resultant dynamic bad
pressure is measured using a pressure gauge. Alternate Methods 1 and 2 are also includec
tor those Phase II systems which utilize a remote vapor check valve.
3. Range
3.1 The minimum and maximum dynamic back pressures that can be measured are
dependent upon available pressure gauges. Recommended gauge ranges are 0-.5 inche1
H20 and 0-2 inches H2O for Alternate Methods 1 and 3. Recommended ranges fo
Alternate Method 2 are 0-.50 inches H20 and 0-1 inch H20.
4. Interferences
. . 4-.}. A"? teaks in tne nozzle vapor path, vapor hose, or underground vapor rerun
piping will result in erroneously low dynamic back pressure measurements.
5. Apparatus
5.1 Nitrogen High Pressure Cylinder with Pressure Regulator. Use a high pressure
nitrogen cylinder capable of maintaining a pressure of 2000 psig and equipped with i
compatible two-stage pressure regulator.
5.2 Rotameter. Use a calibrated rotameter capable of accurately measurin
nitrogen flowrates of 20,60, and 100 CFH and equipped with a flow control valve.
5.3 Pressure gauges. Use two Magnehelic differential pressure gauges, or equivalent
with appropriate ranges , and equipped with toggle valves connected to the high pressun
inlets. B *
5.4 Automobile fill pipe. Use a fill neck known to be compatible with all vapo
recovery nozzles and equipped with a pressure tap.
5.5 Nitrogen. Use commercial grade nitrogen.
5.6 Hand Pump. Use a gasoline compatible hand pump to drain condensate pots.
J.2-2
-------
6. Pre-Test Procedures
6.1 For those Phase II systems which do not utilize a remote vapor check valve,
assemble the apparatus as shown in Figure 27-1, ensuring that the riser shut-off valve on the
test equipment is closed. If a Hirt Phase II system is used, the vacuum producing device
should be turned off during this test.
6.2 The test equipment must be leak-checked prior to use. Plug the nozzle end of
the auto fill pipe, open the nitrogen cylinder and the toggle valves on the magnehelic
gauges. Adjust the flow meter control valve until a pressure of 50 percent of full scale is
indicated on the high range pressure gauge. Close me nitrogen cylinder valve and toggle
valves. A pressure decay of 0.2 inches H2O, in five minutes, is considered acceptable.
6.3 Perform an initial visual examination for vapor leaks at the nozzle and hose of
the Phase II system to be tested.
6.4 Disconnect and drain the vapor hose for all dispensers to be tested. Pour two (2)
gallons of gasoline into each vapor return riser. Reconnect vapor hose. Allow fifteen (15)
minutes for liquid in the vapor return piping to drain. For Phase II systems which do not
employ a remote vapor check valve, the 2 gallons of gasoline may be introduced through the
vapor passage in the nozzle.
6.5 Completely drain all gasoline from the spout and bellows.
6.6 For those vapor piping configurations which utilize a condensate pot, drain the
pot prior to testing.
6.7 For Alternate Methods 1, 2, and 3 the Phase I vapor poppet shall be propped open
in such a manner that the valve is not damaged.
7. Testing
7.1 Alternate Method 1. Phase II systems which do not utilize a remote vapor check
valve may be tested using the following methodology. Insert the nozzle into the fill pipe of
the pressure drop test unit, ensuring that a tight seal at the fillpipe/nozzie interface is
achieved. Ensure that the riser shut-off valve on the test equipment is closed.
7.2 Close both toggle valves and connect the nitrogen supply.
7.3 Open the nitrogen supply, set the delivery pressure to 10 psig, and use the
flowmeter control valve to adjust the flowrate to 20 CFH.
7.4 Open the toggle valve on the 0-.5 inches H2O gauge. If the pressure is greater
than 0.5 inches H2O, close this valve and use the 0-2 inches H2O gauge.
7.5 A pulsating gauge needle indicates nitrogen passing through a liquid obstruction
in the vapor return system. If this occurs, close the flowmeter control valve, disengage the
nozzle and redrain the nozzle and hose assembly. Re-engage the nozzle, open the
flowmeter control valve and repeat the test
7.6 Repeat Sections 7.3 through 7.5 for nitrogen flowrates of 60 and 100 CFH.

6. Pre-Test Procedures
6.1 Use a stopwatch to accurately measure the gasoline dispensing rates at high
medium, and low nozzle hold-open clip settings. For those nozzles without hold-open
latches, use wedges to simulate the three latch positions. Record this data on the Liquid
Removal Field Data Sheet shown in Figure 37-2.
6.2 Use the 0-30 psig pressure gauge to quantify the gasoline delivery pressure. If
possible, this pressure shall be measured with only one nozzle is dispensing the given
gasoline grade. Record this pressure on the Liquid Removal Field Data Sheet.
6.3 Position the Delta P Test Unit 48 inches from the face of the dispenser in order
to represent a typical refueling configurations.
6.4 Completely drain all liquid from the vapor passage of the coaxial hose
Sufficient time shall be allocated for this pre-test procedure, especially if the hose has
internal convolutions.
6.5 Use the graduated cylinder to pour 150 milliliters of gasoline into the vapor
passage of the hose.
6.6 Completely drain the gasoline from the vapor passage back into the graduated
cylinder. Subtract this quantity from the original 150 milliliters. This value represents the
volume of gasoline lost due to surface adhesion to the hose wall.
6.7 With no dispensing activity occurring at the gasoline dispensing facility, conduct
the dynamic back pressure tests at nitrogen flowrates of 20, 60. and 100' CFH. in
accordance with Source Test Procedure ST-27. Record the results on the Liquid Removal
Field Data Sheet. This establishes the dry baseline values for dynamic back pressures.
7. Testing
7.1 Use the graduated cylinder to pour 150 milliliters of gasoline into the vapor
passage of the hose.
7.2 With no dispensing activity occurring at the gasoline dispensing facility, conduct
the dynamic back pressure test, in accordance with Source Test Procedure ST-27, at
nitrogen flowrates of 20, 60, and 100 CFH. Record this data on the Liquid Removal Field
Data Sheet. This establishes the wet baseline values for dynamic back pressures. Ensure
that the dynamic back pressure, at 60 CFH, does not exceed six (6) inches H->O. This will
preclude the possibility of premature nozzle shutoff while dispensing fuel: If the wet
baseline value is less than two (2) inches H2O, use the graduated cylinder to add sufficient
gasoline to raise the dynamic back pressure to a minimum of two (2) inches H2O.
7.3 Move the Delta P Test Unit and position a vehicle such that the fillpipe inlet is
in approximately (+/- six inches) the same location previously occupied by the Delta P Test
Unit fillpipe. / r /

Tf tf fPn^ T^}: This test is used to determine the pressure
drop (flow resistance) through balance Phase II vapor recovery systems
(including nozzles, vapor hose, swivels, dispenser piping and underground
piping) at prescribed flow rates. The test method consists of flowing gaseous
nitrogen through a calibrated test panel into the vapor recovery system at

consists of introducing gasoline into the vapor piping at the dispenser. When the
gasoline can be heard dropping into the appropriate tank, enough gasoline is

deemed to have been added to create a blockage should a low point or other
restriction be present. Gaseous nitrogen is introduced into the vapor piping at a rate
of 60 standard cubic feet per hour (SCFH). A liquid blockage is indicated either by
the needle pegging on the pressure gauge and/or wild pulsing of the needle, or a
reading in excess 0.45 inches of water gauge (wcg) back pressure at a flow of 60 SCFH
of nitrogen.
Where there is underground piping, the San Diego Air Pollution Control
District only requires that the test be performed after all vapor piping is in
place and covered. Nevertheless, it is recommended for new construction
that the contractor conduct this blockage test both before and after the vapor
recovery piping is covered to minimize the extensive effort and cost
associated with repairing the piping system should the vapor recovery system
fail the test.
2.0 PREREQUISITES TO TESTING
The following requirements must be met before a valid test can be performed:
2-1 The District Must Be Notified - The appropriate person specified in the Air
Pollution Control District Authority to Construct letter must be contacted
within 10 working days of completion of construction to establish a mutually
agreeable test date. Normally, the tests will be witnessed by a District
representative; however, a District engineer may, under certain
circumstances, authorize testing without a District observer being present. If
the District is not notified of this test or any other required tests, then this test
or other required tests may be declared invalid. If found invalid, testing may
have to be repeated with a District observer present.
2-2 Condition of the Vapor Recovery System - The vapor recovery system must
be proven leak tight with the District's pressure decay/leak test (see TP-91-1),
or other method approved by the District, prior to conducting this test. There
can be no alteration of the vapor recovery system between the time the
pressure decay/leak test is conducted and this pressure drop test is run.
2-3 Restriction of Gasoline Dispensing Operations - During testing of a given
product, no dispensing of that product will be allowed. If the vapor spaces of
the underground storage tanks are manifolded, dispensing of gasoline from
the entire station shall be prohibited during testing,
3.0 EQUIPMENT
The following equipment will be needed to perform the pressure vs flow and the
liquid blockage tests:
J.4-3
-------
TEST PROCEDURE TP-91-2
-3-
3.1
A bottle of gaseous nitrogen and pressure regulators capable of regulating
final downstream pressure to 5.0 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) are
required. Use assorted valves, fittings, and pressure tubing as necessary. A
means of providing a grounding path from the bottle of compressed nitrogen
must be employed. The bottle shall be grounded for safety. It is
recommended that the tubing be flexible metal tubing or non-metallic tubing
that incorporates a grounding path throughout its length.
A pressure relief valve must be installed prior to testing. Attached it to the
vapor piping or a storage tank vent within the piping system. The pressure
relief valve must be adjusted to release at one psig (27.7 inches of water
column gauge.) (The diaphragms in balance system nozzles are not designed
to withstand pressures exceeding one psig and may be accidently ruptured if
this procedure is not followed.)
WARNING - The nitrogen bottle must be securely fastened to a large
stationary object at all times. A compres^d gas cylinder which falls
damaged can easily become ? lftha]
3.2 A flow regulator is required that is capable of delivering nitrogen at very low
pressure and at measured flow rates of 20, 60 and 100 SCFH.
3.3 A test panel as shown in Figure 1 must be used for testing balance system
vapor flow restrictions. The panel consists of a section of vehicle fill pipe,
attached pressure gauges, a drain to drain off gasoline liquid that spills into
fillpipe from the nozzle fill spout, a plug in the back through which nitrogen
enters the fill neck, a flow gauge to adjust nitrogen flow, control valves and
attachments to connect the nitrogen bottle. The pressure drop through the
Phase II system is determined using a gauge capable of accurately measuring
pressures from 0 to 1 inch of water column gauge ("wcg) and readable in
increments of 0.01" wcg. The gauge is used to measure back pressure before
and after the gasoline is introduced. Pressure is to be sensed through a port,
perpendicular to the direction of flow, located as close as possible to the vapor
piping. An additional simultaneous-reading gauge with a 0 to 10" wcg range
is desirable to quantify excessive flow resistance.
4.0 TEST PROCEDURES
4.1 Pressure vs Flow Test mry T?fttV
The farthest dispensing nozzle from the underground tanks for each product
grade shall be tested using the following procedure unless otherwise required
in the Authority to Construct letter.
4.1.1 Prop open only the Phase I drybreak valve at the tank with the same
J.4-4
-------
TEST PROCEDURE TP-91-2
-4-
product as the nozzle being tested. (The pressure drop is measured
through the nozzle, vapor hoses, dispenser, vapor piping and through
the tank to the Phase I drybreak. This comes close to duplicating the
actual flow resistances that occur during normal opeations.) Set up
traffic barriers in the vicinity of the drybreak valve to preclude the
approach of potential ignition sources.
4.1.2 For manifolded systems, install the pressure relief safety valve, set at
one psig (27.7 inches of water), over the opening of one of the storage
tank vents and cap the remaining storage tank vents. (Manifolding the
tank vent lines is prohibited.) For non-manifolded systems, test each
product vapor recovery system separately with the pressure relief safety
valve installed on the vent of the storage tank being tested.
(Alternative setups may be used as long as they do not interfer with the
objectives of the test and have prior District approval.) (Note: The tank
vents are closed because it was discovered that wind flowing over open
vents 12 feet high can interfere with the pressure measurements, even
with the drybreaks open. Since the pressure decay/leak test must be
conducted first, the caps and relief valve are usually already in place.)
4.1.3 If there is no remote check valve in the dispenser, proceed to Step 4.1.4.
If the Phase II balance system employs a remote vapor check valve that
can be disabled by removing the poppet on the fuel side, carefully open
the fuel side of the remote vapor check valve and remove the fuel
poppet. Replace the threaded plug on the fuel side of the valve.
4.1.4 Connect the pressure drop test device to the vapor return piping and
the regulated nitrogen source. If the nitrogen is introduced through
the vapor recovery nozzle, apply a film of lubricant to the faceplate of
the nozzle to be tested and insert the nozzle into the fillpipe simulator
of the test device. The nozzle must fit tightly.
4.1.5 Zero the pressure gauges.
4.1.6 Adjust the pressure regulators and the pressure drop panel flow
control valve to produce a nitrogen flow rate of 20 SCFH. Record the
back pressure (balance system pressure drop) measured immediately
upstream of the vapor piping, i.e., at the entrance to the nozzle, in the
appropriate space of the data log (attached).
4.1.7 Repeat steps 4.1.6 above with flow rates of 60 SCFH and 100 SCFH.
4.1.8 If the system failed to meet the criteria for passage set forth in Section
5.1, make necessary replacements of or adjustment to the nozzles,
vapor hoses, swivels, dispenser piping, or underground piping to bring

the measured pressure drops within the appropriate standard.
4.1.9 After completion of the pressure vs flow test, close and cap the
underground storage tank vapor dry break valves and remove the
closures from the tank vent pipes.
4.1.10 For Phase II balance systems with remote vapor check valves, carefully
reassemble the remote vapor check valve by removing the plug on the
fuel side and reinserting the fuel poppet. Replace the threaded fuel
plug.
4-2 Liquid Blockade Test fW»+ T°*+)-
Each dispensing nozzle/vapor return piping inlet shall be tested using the
o owing procedure unless otherwise stated in the Authority to Construct
etter. Testing shall be done starting with the farthest dispensing nozzle from
the underground storage tanks for each product.
4.2.1 Prop open only the vapor dry break valve at the tank with the same
product as the nozzle being tested. Set up traffic barriers in the vicinity
of the dry break valve to preclude the approach of potential ignition
sources.
4.2.2 Install a pressure relief safety valve set at a maximum cracking
pressure of one pound per square inch gauge (27.7 wcg) at the vent of
one of the storage tanks. If the system has manifolded vapor pipine,
cap the vents of the other storage tanks. If the system has non
manifolded piping, be sure the pressure relief valve is on the tank that
has the same product as that which is dispensed at the location where
liquid is introduced to the vapor piping.
4.2.3 For each nozzle, introduce gasoline into the vapor piping inlet located
at or in each dispenser. (Don't introduce gasoline through the vapor
return nozzle and vapor hose.) Have someone listening at the open
Phase I drybreaks to identify the tank where liquid splashing is heard
For systems with manifolded underground vapor piping, the liquid
must drop into the leaded product tank, or the lowest octane unleaded
tank if there is no leaded product. For non-manifolded systems with
separate underground vapor piping, the liquid shall return to the tank
that has the same product as is dispensed at the nozzle where the liquid
was introduced into the vapor piping. If the product at the nozzle does
not match the product in the tank, the underground piping is crossed
and the system fails the test. For both manifolded and non-manifolded
systems the piping must be the same as the configuration approved in
the District's Authority to Construct letter or the facility fails the test.

4.2.4 Restore the dispensing/vapor return system to its normal balance
system configuration.
4.2.5 If there is no remote check valve in the dispenser, proceed to Step 4.2.6.
If the Phase II balance system employs a remote vapor check valve, that
can be disabled by removing the poppet on the fuel side, carefully open
the fuel side of the remote vapor check valve and remove the fuel
poppet. Replace the threaded plug on the fuel side of the valve.
4.2.6 Connect the pressure drop test device to the vapor return piping and
the regulated nitrogen source. If the nitrogen is introduced through
the vapor recovery nozzle, apply a film of lubricant to the faceplate of
the nozzle to be tested and insert the nozzle into the fillpipe simulator
of the test device. The nozzle must fit tightly.
4.2.7 Zero the pressure gauges.
4.2.8 Adjust the pressure regulators and the pressure drop panel flow
control valve to produce a nitrogen flow rate of 60 SCFH. Note the
response and reading of the pressure gauge immediately upstream of
the vapor piping, i.e., at the entrance to the nozzle. Record the back
pressure reading on the attached data log under "wet test".
4.2.9 If during the "wet test" the back pressure gauge pegs at full scale or
continously fluctuates, note this in the "Comments" section for the
nozzle being tested.
4.2.10 If the system failed to meet the criteria for passage set forth in Section
5.2, make necessary repairs or adjustments to the tested piping to
eliminate the blockage.
4.2.11 For Phase II balance systems with remote vapor check valves, carefully
reassemble the remote vapor chech valve by removing the plug on the
fuel side and reinserting the fuel poppet. Replace the threaded fuel
plug.
4.2.12 Repeat steps 4.2.1 through 4.2.11 for each nozzle/vapor return piping
inlet associated with the vapor return line being tested.
4.2.13 After completion of the liquid blockage test for all nozzles connected to
the vapor return line, close and cap the underground storage tank
vapor dry break valves and remove the closures from the tank vent
pipes.

5.0 TEST STANDARDS
5.1 Pressure vs Flow Test (Drv TP<*)-
In accordance with the California Air Resources Board (ARE) Executive
Orders for balance systems, the system passes the pressure vs flow test if at the
nitrogen flow rates of 20, 60 and 100 SCFH the flow resistance measured does
not exceed the following pressure limits:
(a) 0.15 inches of water gauge at 20 SCFH
(b) 0.45 inches of water gauge at 60 SCFH
(c) 0.95 inches of water gauge at 100 SCFH
5-2 Liquid Blockade Test (W*j Tfft)-
The system fails if the back pressure gauge pegs at full scale or continuously
fluctuates during the "wet test", or if the "wet test" back pressure reading at 60
SCFH flow rate exceeds the maximum standard of 0.45 inches of water gauee
prescribed in the applicable ARE Executive Orders.
6.0 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
ESc H Sltes ^^8 Authorities to Construct requiring this or any other District

PRESSURE DECAY/LEAK TEST PROCEDURE
PHASE I & PHASE II VAPOR RECOVERY INSTALLATIONS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This procedure is applicable to facilities that recover vapors from vehicle fueling
nletrat!°pnS, ( ^ I! rP°I r600^1^- K is «*«» to determine compliance with
r H «cU,A « I ' 61'8; Ch3pter 3' Article 5 of the State Hea"h * Safety
Code (HS&C); and Section 94006, Title 17, California Code of Regulations (CCR)
Rule 63.1 requires 95% vapor recovery during the truck delivery of fuel to bulk
storage tanks (Phase I vapor control). Air aspirated into the fuel during Phase I
deliveries prevents compliance. Vapor leakage from adjacent tanks with a vapor
manifold to the tank receiving fuel also precludes compliance. This will not
happen if the system is leak tight. Rule 61.4 and State law require that the vapor
recovery nozzle backpressure shut-off mechanisms not malfunction in any way
This procedure is used to check the shutoff mechanisms. Rule 61.4 and State law
also require that all Phase I and Phase II vapor recovery systems perform with the
same effectiveness as the State Air Resources Board (ARE) certification test systems
associated with the applicable State Executive Orders defining the systems. All ARE
test systems passed the pressure decay /leak criteria of the procedure that follows It
is impossible for any vapor recovery system failing the criteria to be as effective as
the corresponding ARE certification test system. Rule 61.8 and State law require that
all vapor recovery systems be ARE certified. To be certified, all bulk storage tanks
must be connected to the Phase II vapor recovery system. This procedure is used to
check vapor manifolds. The following procedure may also be used to identify
equipment defects prohibited by Rule 61.4 and Section 94006 of the CCR.
2.0 PREREQUISITES TO TESTING
The following requirements must be met before a valid test may be performed:
2'1 The District Must Be Nnrifjf^ - The appropriate person specified in the Air
Pollution Control District Authority to Construct letter must be contacted
within ten working days of completion of construction to establish a
mutually agreeable test date. Normally, the tests will be witnessed by a
District representative; however, the District engineer may, under certain
circumstances, authorize testing without a District observer being present. If
the District is not notified of this test or any of the other required tests, then
this test or any other required test may be declared invalid, in which case a
retest will be required.
2-2 Minimum Tank Ullage - The ullage (vapor space) in each tank being tested
must be at least 10% of the tank's capacity, but in no case less than 300 gallons
*This Test Procedure supercedes TP-88-1 & TP-79-4.

TEST PROCEDURE TP-91-1
-2-
per tank. If the tanks are manifolded, each tank must meet the minimum
ullage requirement described above.
2.3 Maximum Tank Ullage - There is no maximum tank ullage requirement.
However, since the required test duration is directly proportional to the
amount of tank ullage, it is recommended that the total tank ullage be kept as
close as possible to the minimum tank ullage requirement to preclude
excessively long tests.
2.4 Condition of the Vapor Recovery System - The complete vapor recovery
system must be installed and intact during the test. If the installation
includes a Phase II vapor recovery system, all hoses, nozzles, fittings, valves,
and other system components must be installed as if the system were to be
placed into service. All system components must be free of all visible defects
such as torn or punctured bellows, loose or torn faceplates, or defective check
valves. Plugging the vapor return plumbing where a leaking vapor recovery
nozzle or remote check valve has been discovered is not allowed.
2.5 Restrictions on Gasoline Transfer Operations - Bulk transfers of gasoline into
the storage tanks within one hour prior to the test is prohibited. In addition,
dispensing of gasoline is not allowed during the test.
3.0 EQUIPMENT
The following equipment will be needed to perform this test. (Refer to the
schematic presented in attached Figure 1 for a typical set-up.)
3.1 A bottle of compressed gaseous nitrogen and pressure regulators capable of
regulating final downstream pressure to 1.0 pound per square inch gauge
(psig) is required. Use assorted valves, fittings, and pressure tubing as
necessary. A means of providing a grounding path from the bottle of
compressed nitrogen is required. The bottle shall be grounded for safety. It is
recommended that the tubing be flexible metal tubing or non-metal tubing
that incorporates a grounding path throughout its length. A pressure relief
device must also be installed prior to testing. The pressure relief device is
installed to prevent accidental over pressurization. The pressure relief device
must be adjusted to vent at one pound per square inch gauge (27.7 inches
water column gauge).
WARNINGS:
a. Attempting the pressure decay test without a pressure relief
device may result in over-pressurizing the system, which may
create a hazardous condition and may cause damage to the
J.5-3
-------
TEST PROCEDURE TP-91-1

underground storage tanks, associated piping, and other system
components.
b. The nitrogen bottle must be securely fastened to a large
stationary object at all times. A compressed gas rvlinri»r ^^
falls and is damaged can P=^IV become a lethal projertilf
3.2 An accurate device for measuring pressure, such as a water manometer
(preferable) or a Magnehelic gauge (or equivalent), is required to measure the
system pressure. This device must be graduated in increments of one tenth
(U.I) of an inch of water column pressure.
3.3 A stopwatch accurate to within 1 second.
4.0 TEST PROCEDURE
4.1 Determine the ullage of the underground storage tank (or tanks if
manifolded). Measure the gasoline gallonage in the underground storage
tank(s). Calculate the ullage space for the storage tank(s) by subtracting the
gasoline gallonage present from the tank capacity(ies). Note the ullage and
total tank capacity in the appropriate space of the data log (attached) The
actual tank ullage must meet the minimum tank ullage criteria specified in
Section 2.2.
4.2 Calculate the required test duration by multiplying the total ullage (in
thousand gallons) by 5.0. Note the resulting required test time (in minutes)
in the appropriate space on the data log.
4.3 Install the pressure relief device, grounding wire, fittings, tubing, and
equipment needed to pressurize and to monitor the system vapor space (see
Figure 1). Nitrogen can be introduced into the system through the storage
tank vent pipe or through the vapor return piping.
4.4 For manifolded systems, install the pressure relief safety valve, set at one psig
(27.7 inches of water), over the opening of one of the storage tank vents and
cap the remaining storage tank vents. (Manifolding the vent line is
prohibited since this infers with the check of underground vapor manifolds)
For non-manifolded systems, test each product vapor recovery system
separately with the pressure relief safety valve installed on the vent of the
storage tank being tested. (Alternative setups may be used as long as they do
not interfere with the objectives of the test and have prior District approval.)
4.5 Remove the Phase I adapter cap(s) on the vapor return drybreak valve(s) of
the underground storage tank(s). The system must pass the pressure

decay/leak test with the drybreak cap(s) removed. It is permissible for the
tank fill cap(s) to be in place on the fill adapters) during the test.
4.6 With no dispensing taking place, begin pressurizing the vapor system (or
subsystem for individual vapor return line systems) to 11 inches water
column gauge (wcg). Let the system sit for fifteen minutes to allow vapor
pressure stabilization in the tank(s). Check the vent cap assembly(ies),
nitrogen connector assembly, nozzles, vapor return adapter(s) and all
accessible vapor connections using leak detecting solution to verify that the
test equipment is leak tight. If after fifteen minutes, the ullage pressure is still
above 10 inches wcg, reduce the system pressure to 10.0 inches wcg. If the
ullage pressure is below 10 inches wcg, then again pressurize the vapor
system to 10.0 inches wcg.
4.7 With the system pressurized to 10.0 inches wcg, begin the test. Start the
stopwatch and note the time at which the test was begun in the appropriate
space on the data log
4.8 Intermediate readings may be taken to monitor the performance of the
system, but the final system pressure reading must be taken at the end of the
required test duration calculated in step 4.2 and recorded in the appropriate
space on the data log. Refer to the test standards specified in Section 5.0 below
to determine the acceptability of the final system pressure result.
4.9 While the system is still pressurized, check the integrity of the automatic back
pressure relief device on each nozzle connected to the vapor recovery system
being tested by pulling on the nozzle's trigger. The back pressure relief device
is acceptable if there is no resistance when the nozzle's trigger is pulled
Nozzles with defective back pressure relief devices shall be replaced.
4.10 At the end of the pressure decay test, with the tank(s) still pressurized,
complete the following checks:
(a) For systems with vapor manifolded tanks, depress the Phase I vapor
drybreak valve of each tank to see if gases are released under pressure. (A
tank where gases are not released under pressure is not manifolded to the
Phase II vapor piping as required by District rules and State law.)
(b) For non-manifolded systems, depress the drybreak valve of each tank to
see if the product in the storage tank matches the product dispensed by the
nozzles where checks were made of the back pressure shut-off mechanisms.
(This is a check to see if the underground vapor piping is crossed and goes to
the wrong storage tanks. If crossed piping is indicated, verify by sending five
gallons of liquid down the Phase II piping while a second person listens for

splashing at the tank with the drybreak open. See test procedure TP-91-2-
Liquid Blockage Test/)
(c) Remove the caps of the fill risers of the storage tanks. If it appears that any
gasket is damaged or missing, it must be replaced and the fill adapter
tightened. r
4.11 If the system failed to meet the criteria for passage set forth in Section 50
repressurize the system and check all accessible vapor connections usine leak
detecting solution. If vapor leaks in the system are encountered, repair or
replace the defective component(s) and repeat the pressure decay test (steps 4 6
through 4.8). (Note: applicants and contractors are advised to do a pre-test
before the District witnesses compliance tests. Repairs that keep the District
inspector waiting or that result In scheduling a re-test may result in
substantial reinspection fees.)
4.12 Depressurize the system by carefully removing the vent cap assembly(ies)
Allow any remaining pressure to be relieved through the vent pipe(s).
4.13 If the vapor recovery system utilizes individual vapor return lines for each
gasoline product or each underground storage tank, repeat the entire pressure
decay/leak test for each vapor return system (steps 4.1 through 4.12).
5.0 TEST STANDARDS
time from 10.Q to 9.0 inches wcg
This means that from an initial pressure of 10.0 inches wcg, if the system pressure
reading at the end of the required test duration, as calculated using the methodology
specified in Section 4.2, is less than 9.0 inches wcg, the system fails
6.0 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
For those sites having Authorities to Construct requiring this or any other District
tests, documentation of the required testings must be submitted to the District before
a Permit to Operate will be issued. It is the ultimate responsibility of the applicant tn
make sure that the necessary documentation is submitted to the District; however
the District win accept test documentation directly from the contractor performing
the tests. When a District observer is present and NCR forms are used, the observer
will take the original of the form with him/her back to the office

GASOLINE DISPENSING FACILITY ENFORCEMENT POLICY
(EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY)
NOTICE OF VIOLATION (N/V)
Initial Engineering Vapor Recovery inspections shall be conducted using the
attached defect list as a guide. If any listed defects are found, the defective
equipment may not be operated legally until corrective action is completed or a
variance granted. The engineering inspector will advise the source of
noncompliance and issue a Defect Advisory.
In addition, the engineering inspector shall place an Out of Order tag on any nozzle
associated with a defect as indicated on the attached list. Section 41960.2(d) of the
State Health and Safety Code states, "When a district determines that a component
contains a defect specified pursuant to subdivision (c), the district shall mark the
component "Out of Order". No person shall use or permit the use of the
component until the component has been repaired, replaced, or adjusted, as
necessary, and the district has reinspected the component or has authorized use of
the component pending reinspection." [State identified defects pursuant to CCR
Section 94006 and District identified defects pursuant to Health and Safety Code
41954(g) and District Rule 61.4(c)(5).]
If the applicant has demonstrated that it is possible to operate a portion of the
dispensing facility in compliance with Rules 61.3 and 61.4, then they will be issued
written temporary authorization to operate that portion until repairs are made to
the rest of the equipment. For example, if two out of ten nozzles are defective, the
applicant may receive a Startup Authorization to operate the eight nozzles that are
in compliance if the facility as a whole remains in compliance with the emission

standards. However, if the facility cannot be operated in compliance, no temporary
authorization can be issued. The engineering inspector shall provide the applicant
with general information regarding the variance process and advise the site
operator to call the Enforcement Division. The applicant shall also be advised by the
Engineering inspector that they are subject to a Notice of Violation from the
District's Enforcement Division if they operate any equipment not authorized by an
Startup Authorization, Permit to Operate or variance.
NOTICE TO REPAIR (NTR)
For all defects not identified in the attached list, both District Rule 61.4(c)(5) and
Health and Safety Code Section 41960.2(e) allow seven days for repairs or
adjustments to be made. The engineering inspector shall issue a Notice to Repair
(NTR). (For example, an NTR would be issued if the system fails the pressure decay
leak test, or vapor return hoses do not meet the lengths or loop requirements of the
State Executive Orders, or flow rates are excessive, etc.) The engineering inspector
shall advise the applicant that if the repairs are not completed within seven days,
they may be subject to a Notice of Violation. Temporary authorization will be
issued with the condition that repairs be completed within 7 days for minor
problems. If corrections are not called in by the 7th day, the source shall be contacted
by Engineering staff regarding actions taken by the site and reminded that if the
problem has not been corrected, a Notice of Violation may result. If corrective
action has not been completed, the engineering inspector shall forward
documentation to Enforcement. Where testing is needed to confirm compliance,
the temporary authorization shall expire the day after the compliance test has been
witnessed by the engineering inspector. The reinspection date will be scheduled at
the end of the initial inspection.
If upon reinspection, the engineering inspector determines a source falsely reported
corrections, the Enforcement Division shall be notified within one week and
provided a copy of the NTR and supporting documents. Enforcement action will be
taken.
Failure to complete the repairs associated with vehicle fueling is a violation of
District Rule 61.4(c)(3) which states the vapor recovery system shall be installed,
operated, and maintained so that its performance in actual use is the same as the
ARE certification test system. It is also a violation of Health and Safety Code Section
41960.2 which states the system must be in good working order. Furthermore, the
ARB has ruled that any system that is defective is not, in accordance with the
Executive Orders, a certified system. Therefore, the installation would also be in
violation of District Rule 61.8 and Health and Safety Code Section 41954(0, both of
K.l-7

which require certified systems and certified components. Seven day notices can
only be issued once for the same problem involving the same equipment.
PHASE I
Health and Safety Code Section 41960.2 does not clearly deal with Phase I only
operations. Title 17, Code of Regulations, Section 94006 does not list Phase I only
defects. Therefore, Rule 61.3 prevails. The source must be advised that fuel delivery
without the drop tube is a violation. Any Phase I system that is inoperative,
missing or damaged so as to impair the effectiveness of the Phase I System is a
violation (Rule 61.3(c)(5)). A Defect Advisory shall be issued and the variance
process explained. A Startup Authorization shall not be issued in such cases. The
engineering inspector will inform the applicant that a Notice of Violation will be
issued if they take a delivery prior to installation of the submerged fillpipe or prior
to the correction of other defects. All other Phase I only problems such as missing
fill cap, short drop tube etc., will be subject to a seven day NTR, although an NTR is
not required by the Health and Safety Code or District Rules and Regulations.
GENERAL FROCEDimFS
Each NTR will have three copies. The original shall be issued to the applicant. The
second and third copies will be retained by the engineering inspector. The
engineering inspector shall submit the second copy to Enforcement as needed to
"1 3 ati0n> The third c°Py is to be retained by Engineering in the site
It is Enforcement's decision and responsibility to follow-up with the issuance of
Notices of Violation after receiving report and back-up information indicating a
source is operating in violation of District rules or state law.
An initial engineering inspection may cover more than one day if the number of
nozzles and type of system involved cannot be tested and inspected in a single day
However initial inspections involving more than one day must have prior
approval from the Senior Engineer in charge of Vapor Recovery. The project
engineer will try to determine the potential duration of an initial inspection of a
sutee uent da^ ""^ ^^ arran£ements for testinS and inspection to cover
A second inspection is to cover items that failed the initial field evaluation. NTRs
can only be issued for non-listed defects that are revealed for the first time during

the second inspection. All other defects are violations. Information documenting
the Notice of Violation shall be forwarded to Enforcement The engineering
inspector shall issue a Defect Advisory and advise the applicant of the variance
process. If the facility fails the second inspection, the temporary authorization
cannot be extended. Enforcement is to be provided the inspection report and
supporting documents. The source must be provided with the hearing board
advisory and advised to contact the District's Enforcement Division.
If an application for permit is denied in accordance with Rule 20, the source shall be
advised to reapply and to submit full fees. A new application package shall be
provided. The source must be advised of the hearing board process.
In all cases where enforcement action is requested, it must be accompanied by a
request form, a copy of the Defect Advisory, a copy of the NTR and supporting
documentation.
