(c)

The owner or operator of an existing GDF must comply with OAR 340-244-0240 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Work Practice and Submerged Fill Requirements)(1)(b) and (c) no later than July 1, 2009 or upon startup, whichever is later.

(3)

For an existing affected source that becomes subject to the control requirements in OAR 340-244-0242 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Vapor Balance Requirements) because of an increase in the monthly throughput, as specified in 340-244-0234 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Affected Sources)(4), the owner or operator must comply with the standards 340-244-0242 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Vapor Balance Requirements) no later than 3 years after the affected source becomes subject to the control requirements in 340-244-0242 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Vapor Balance Requirements).

(4)

The initial compliance demonstration test required under OAR 340-244-0244 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Testing and Monitoring Requirements)(1)(a) and (b) must be conducted as specified in subsections (4)(a) and (b).

(a)

For a new or reconstructed affected source, the owner or operator must conduct the initial compliance test upon installation of the complete vapor balance system.

(b)

For an existing affected source, the owner or operator must conduct the initial compliance test as specified in paragraph (4)(b)(A) or (B) of this rule.

(A)

For vapor balance systems installed on or before Dec. 15, 2009 at a GDF whose average monthly throughput is 100,000 gallons of gasoline or more, the owner or operator must test no later than 180 days after the applicable compliance date specified in section (2) or (3).

(B)

For vapor balance systems installed after Dec. 15, 2009, the owner or operator must test upon installation of a complete vapor balance system or a new gasoline storage tank.

(C)

For a GDF whose average monthly throughput is less than or equal to 100,000 gallons of gasoline, the owner or operator is only required to test upon installation of a complete vapor balance system or a new gasoline storage tank.

(5)

If the GDF is subject to the control requirements in OAR 340-244-0232 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Purpose) through 340-244-0252 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: General Provision Applicability) only because it loads gasoline into fuel tanks other than those in motor vehicles, as defined in 340-244-0030 (General Provisions for Stationary Sources: Definitions), the owner or operator of the GDF must comply with the standards in 340-244-0232 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Purpose) through 340-244-0252 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: General Provision Applicability) as specified in subsections (5)(a) and (b).

(a)

If the GDF is an existing facility, the owner or operator of the GDF must comply by Jan. 24, 2014.

(b)

If the GDF is a new or reconstructed facility, the owner or operator of the GDF must comply by the dates specified in paragraphs (5)(b)(A) and (B).

(A)

If startup of the GDF is after Dec. 15, 2009, but before January 24, 2011, the owner or operator of the GDF must comply no later than Jan. 24, 2011.

(B)

If startup of the GDF is after Jan. 24, 2011, the owner or operator of the GDF must comply upon startup of the GDF.
