OAR 340-232-0085: Gasoline Delivery Vessel(s)

(1) No person may transfer or allow the transfer of gasoline to a delivery vessel from a bulk gasoline terminal; or a bulk gasoline plant, with a daily throughput of 4,000 or more gallons based on a 30-day rolling average, located in the Portland-Vancouver AQMA, unless: (a) Each delivery vessel uses submerged fill when receiving gasoline; and (b) The displaced vapors from filling each tank are prevented from being released to the atmosphere through use of a vapor tight vapor balance system. All equipment associated with the vapor balance system must be maintained to be vapor tight and in good working order. (2) Gasoline must be handled in a manner to prevent spillage, discharge into sewers, storage in open containers, or handled in any other manner that would result in evaporation. If more than five gallons are spilled, the operator must report the spillage in accordance with OAR 340-214-0300 to 340-214-0350. (3) Compliance with subsection (1)(a) and section (2) must be determined by visual inspection to ensure minimal spillage of gasoline and proper installation of bottom loading couples. (4) Compliance with subsection (1)(b) must be determined by verification of use of equipment approved by DEQ and/or by testing and monitoring in accordance with applicable portions of OAR 340-232-0100 and/or Method 31 and/or 32 on file with DEQ. [NOTE: Methods are found in the DEQ Source Sampling Manual published at OAR 340-200-0035.] (5) The owner or operator of a gasoline delivery vessel must maintain the vessel to be vapor tight at all times, in accordance with OAR 340- 232-0100(1), if such vessel is part of a vapor balance system required by subsection (1)(b). NOTE: This rule is included in the State of Oregon Clean Air Act Implementation Plan that EQC adopted under OAR 340-200-0040.
