EO 04-1-1

Public Hearing to Consider Proposed Amendments to the List of Equipment Defects that Substantially Impair the Effectiveness of Gasoline Vapor Recovery Systems  
  California Health and Safety Code section 41960.2 (c)(1) requires the ARB to identify and list equipment defects in gasoline vapor control systems that substantially impair the effectiveness of those systems in reducing air contaminants from gasoline dispensing facilities (service stations). The primary air contaminants captured by vapor recovery systems are ozone precursors and toxic air contaminants. Presence on the defects list carries stricter enforcement options for violations resulting from equipment defects. Equipment defects substantially impairing the effectiveness of vapor recovery systems used in motor fueling operations are now identified in the Vapor Recovery Equipment Defects List; defects are also set forth in the executive orders certifying the systems. Health and Safety Code section 41960.2 (c)(2) requires the ARB to review the list every three years, or upon written request that demonstrates, to the Executive Officer's satisfaction, that such a review is needed. This update is the first of the three-year reviews. Updating and consolidating the list will facilitate compliance by service station owners and enforcement by air pollution control district inspectors, resulting in greater emission benefits from the vapor recovery program.
