Title

Certification & Test Procedures for Vapor Recovery Systems at GDFs & Cargo Tanks

Description

The amendments to the certification and test procedures were adopted to: (1) Improve two test procedures used by ARB staff during certification of vapor recovery equipment designed for use with aboveground storage tanks (ASTs). The amendments to these test procedures address technical deficiencies that staff encountered during field testing and allow staff to use improved test equipment now available. The minor reorganization of an amendment to these test procedures also improve their clarity and readability; and (2) Revise the certification procedure and three test procedures for equipment used on cargo tanks to control gasoline vapor emissions. The revised certification procedures no longer require cargo tank vapor recovery components to be certified by ARB. Owners/operators are still required to have their cargo tanks certified annually. These test procedures were revised to be more consistent with federal Department of Transportation requirements.
