(1)
Each owner or operator of a GDF, at time of installation, as specified in OAR 340-244-0238 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Compliance Dates)(4), of a vapor balance system required under 340-244-0242 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Vapor Balance Requirements)(1)(a), and every 3 years thereafter at a GDF with monthly throughput of 100,000 gallons of gasoline or more, must comply with the requirements in subsections (1)(a) and (b).(a)
The owner or operator of a GDF must demonstrate compliance with the leak rate and cracking pressure requirements, specified in item 1(g) of Table 2 of OAR 340-244-0242 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Vapor Balance Requirements), for pressure-vacuum vent valves installed on gasoline storage tanks using the test methods identified in paragraph (1)(a)(A) or (B).(A)
California Air Resources Board Vapor Recovery Test Procedure TP–201.1E, — Leak Rate and Cracking Pressure of Pressure/Vacuum Vent Valves, adopted Oct. 8, 2003 (incorporated by reference, see 40 CFR 63.14).(B)
Use alternative test methods and procedures in accordance with the alternative test method requirements in 40 CFR 63.7(f).(b)
The owner or operator of a GDF must demonstrate compliance with the static pressure performance requirement, specified in item 1(h) of Table 2 of OAR 340-244-0242 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Vapor Balance Requirements), for the vapor balance system by conducting a static pressure test on the gasoline storage tanks using the test methods identified in paragraph (1)(b)(A), (1)(b)(B), or (1)(b)(C).(A)
California Air Resources Board Vapor Recovery Test Procedure TP–201.3, — Determination of 2-Inch WC Static Pressure Performance of Vapor Recovery Systems of Dispensing Facilities, adopted April 12, 1996, and amended March 17, 1999 (incorporated by reference, see 40 CFR 63.14).(B)
Use alternative test methods and procedures in accordance with the alternative test method requirements in 40 CFR 63.7(f).(C)
Bay Area Air Quality Management District Source Test Procedure ST-30 — Static Pressure Integrity Test — Underground Storage Tanks, adopted Nov. 30, 1983, and amended Dec. 21, 1994 (incorporated by reference, see 40 CFR 63.14).(2)
Each owner or operator of a GDF, choosing, under the provisions of 40 CFR 63.6(g), to use a vapor balance system other than that described in Table 2 of OAR 340-244-0242 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Vapor Balance Requirements), must demonstrate to DEQ or upon request by the EPA Administrator, the equivalency of their vapor balance system to that described in Table 2 of OAR 340-244-0242 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Vapor Balance Requirements) using the procedures specified in subsections (2)(a) through (c).(a)
The owner or operator of a GDF must demonstrate initial compliance by conducting an initial performance test on the vapor balance system to demonstrate that the vapor balance system achieves 95 percent reduction using the California Air Resources Board Vapor Recovery Test Procedure TP-201.1, — Volumetric Efficiency for Phase I Vapor Recovery Systems, adopted April 12, 1996, and amended Feb. 1, 2001, and Oct. 8, 2003, incorporated by reference, see 40 CFR 63.14.(b)
The owner or operator of a GDF must, during the initial performance test required under subsection (2)(a), determine and document alternative acceptable values for the leak rate and cracking pressure requirements specified in item 1(g) of Table 2 of OAR 340-244-0242 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Vapor Balance Requirements) and for the static pressure performance requirement in item 1(h) of Table 2 of 340-244-0242 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Vapor Balance Requirements).(c)
The owner or operator of a GDF must comply with the testing requirements specified in section (1).(3)
Conduct of performance tests. Performance tests must be conducted under such conditions as DEQ or the EPA Administrator specifies to the owner or operator of a GDF based on representative performance, i.e., performance based on normal operating conditions, of the affected source. Upon request by DEQ or the EPA Administrator, the owner or operator of a GDF must make available such records as may be necessary to determine the conditions of performance tests.(4)
Owners and operators of gasoline cargo tanks subject to the provisions of Table 3 of OAR 340-244-0242 (Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities: Vapor Balance Requirements) must conduct annual certification testing according to the vapor tightness testing requirements found in 40 CFR 63.11092(f).
