Vapor recovery process, requirements, and information:
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) requires the installation of Enhanced Vapor Recovery Systems (EVR) on retail and non-retail underground storage tanks. Additionally, in-station diagnostics (ISD) is required, for those stations that pump greater than 600,000 per year. In station diagnostics alerts the station operator of a vapor recovery system failure. The deadlines for existing facilities to comply with these requirements are:
- April 1, 2009, Phase II EVR for all stations
- April 1, 2010, Phase II EVR with ISD for stations pumping greater than 1.8 million gallons/year
- September 1, 2010, Phase II EVR with ISD for stations pumping between 600,000 gallons/year and 1.8 million gallons/year
The CARB has certified two Phase II EVR systems manufactured by Franklin Fueling/Healy and Vapor Systems Technologies (VST). More information on EVR vapor recovery systems is available at the California Air Resources Board Enhanced Vapor Recovery Information For Permitting Agencies. Underwriters Laboratory (UL) has approved the Healy Clean Air Separator (CAS) with ISD system. More Information on the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Healy system may be found at the CARB website. Information on the VST system may be found at CARB website. Installation of these systems or any other Phase II EVR modifications must comply with the Roseville Fire Department requirements.
