OAR 340-244-0234
Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Affected Sources
(1)
The affected source to which the emission standards apply is each GDF. The affected source includes each gasoline cargo tank during the delivery of product to a GDF and also includes each storage tank.(2)
The emissions standards in OAR 340-244-0236 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Affected Equipment or Processes) through 340-244-0252 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: General Provision Applicability) do not apply to agricultural operations as defined in ORS 468A.020 (Application of air pollution laws). Agricultural operations are however required to comply with the Gasoline Dispensing NESHAP, if applicable (40 CFR part 63 subpart CCCCCC).(3)
All GDFs must comply with the requirements of OAR 340-244-0240 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Work Practice and Submerged Fill Requirements).(4)
The owner or operator of a GDF must comply with the requirements of OAR 340-244-0242 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Vapor Balance Requirements) for the following gasoline storage tanks:(a)
All tanks with a capacity of 250 gallons or more located at GDFs:(A)
Whose annual throughput is480,000 gallons of gasoline or more;(B)
Whose monthly throughput is 100,000 gallons of gasoline or more; or(C)
In Clackamas, Multnomah, or Washington County whose annual throughput is 120,000 gallons of gasoline or more.(b)
All tanks with a capacity of 1,500 gallons or more located at GDFs in the Portland AQMA, Medford AQMA, or Salem-Keizer in the SKATS.(5)
The owner or operator of a GDF must comply with the requirements of OAR 340-244-0242 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Vapor Balance Requirements)(4) for any gasoline storage tank equipped with a vapor balance system.(6)
An affected source must, upon request by DEQ or the EPA Administrator, demonstrate its annual or monthly throughput. For new or reconstructed affected sources, as specified in OAR 340-244-0236 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Affected Equipment or Processes)(2) and (3), recordkeeping to document monthly throughput must begin upon startup of the affected source. For existing sources, as specified in 340-244-0236 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Affected Equipment or Processes)(4), recordkeeping to document monthly throughput must begin on January 10, 2008. For existing sources that are subject only because they load gasoline into fuel tanks other than those in motor vehicles, as defined in 340-244-0030 (General Provisions for Stationary Sources: Definitions), recordkeeping to document monthly throughput must begin on Jan. 24, 2011. Records required under this section must be kept for a period of 5 years.(7)
The owner or operator of an affected source, as defined in section (1), is not required to obtain an Oregon Title V Operating Permit as a result of being subject to OAR 340-244-0236 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Affected Equipment or Processes) through 340-244-0252 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: General Provision Applicability). However, the owner or operator of an affected source must still apply for and obtain an Oregon Title V Operating Permit if meeting one or more of the applicability criteria found in 340-218-0020 (Applicability).(8)
The loading of aviation gasoline storage tanks at airports, and the subsequent transfer of aviation gasoline within the airport, is not subject to OAR 340-244-0236 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Affected Equipment or Processes) through 340-244-0252 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: General Provision Applicability), except in the Portland AQMA, Medford AQMA, Salem-Keizer in the SKATS, and Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington Counties. In these geographic areas, aviation gasoline is subject to 340-244-0236 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Affected Equipment or Processes) through 340-244-0252 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: General Provision Applicability).(9)
Monthly throughput is the total volume of gasoline loaded into, or dispensed from, all the gasoline storage tanks located at a single affected GDF. If an area source has two or more GDFs at separate locations within the area source, each GDF is treated as a separate affected source.(10)
If the affected source’s throughput ever exceeds an applicable throughput threshold, the affected source will remain subject to the requirements for sources above the threshold, even if the affected source throughput later falls below the applicable throughput threshold.(11)
The dispensing of gasoline from a fixed gasoline storage tank at a GDF into a portable gasoline tank for the on-site delivery and subsequent dispensing of the gasoline into the fuel tank of a motor vehicle or other gasoline-fueled engine or equipment used within the area source is only subject to OAR 340-244-0240 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Work Practice and Submerged Fill Requirements)(1).(12)
For any affected source subject to the provisions of OAR 340-244-0232 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Purpose) through 340-244-0252 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: General Provision Applicability) and another federal rule, the owner or operator may elect to comply only with the more stringent provisions of the applicable rules. The owner or operator of an affected source must consider all provisions of the rules, including monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting. The owner or operator of an affected source must identify the affected source and provisions with which the owner or operator of an affected source will comply in the Notification of Compliance Status required under 340-244-0246 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Notifications). The owner or operator of an affected source also must demonstrate in the Notification of Compliance Status that each provision with which the owner or operator of an affected source will comply is at least as stringent as the otherwise applicable requirements in 340-244-0232 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Purpose) through 340-244-0252 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: General Provision Applicability). The owner or operator of an affected source is responsible for making accurate determinations concerning the more stringent provisions, and noncompliance with this rule is not excused if it is later determined that your determination was in error, and, as a result, the owner or operator of an affected source is violating 340-244-0232 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Purpose) through 340-244-0252 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: General Provision Applicability). Compliance with this rule is the owner’s or operator’s responsibility and the Notification of Compliance Status does not alter or affect that responsibility.
