requiring Phase II vapor recovery system for E85 fuel dispensing operations. Rule 4622 amendments also 

include incorporating requirements for alarm responses for In-Station Diagnostic (ISD) systems and for the

VI. IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY PLAN 

 No Impact Impacts RFP Impacts attainment

the District made no plan commitments to amend these rules and the amendments do not increase emissions from 

affected sources.
