Vapor Recovery Certification Procedure

CP

- 201

Certification Procedure for Vapor Recovery Systems at Gasoline Dispensing Facilities

A set of definitions common to al l Certification and Test Procedures are in:

D

- 200 Definitions for Vapor Recovery Procedures

All section references are to the Health and Safety Code unless otherwise stated.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND APPLICABILITY

This document describes the procedure fo r evaluating and certifying Phase I and Phase II vapor recovery systems, and components, used at Gasoline Dispensing Facilities (GDF ) with underground storage tanks

. A n ARB Executive Order certifying the system shall be issued only after all of the applic able certification requirements have been successfully completed.

This Certification Procedure, CP

- 201, is adopted pursuant to Section 41954 of the California Health and Safety Code (CH&SC) and is applicable to vapor recovery systems installed at gasoline dispensing facilities for controlling gasoline vapors emitted during the fueling of storage tanks (Phase I) and the refueling of vehicle fuel tanks (Phase II). Vapor recovery systems are complete systems and shall include all associated dispensers, pipin g, nozzles, couplers, processing units, underground tanks and any other equipment or components necessary for the control of gasoline vapors during Phase I or Phase II refueling operations

at GDF.

1.1 Regulatory Requirements of Other State Agencies

As requi red pursuant to Sections 25290.1

. 2, 41955 and 41957 of the CH&SC, the Executive Officer shall coordinate this certification procedure with:

1.1.1 Department of Food and Agriculture, Division of Measurement Standards (DMS)

1.1.2 Department of Forestry a nd Fire Protection, Office of the State Fire Marshall (SFM)

1.1.3 Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH)

1.1.4 State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Division of Water Quality

Prior to certificati on of the vapor recovery system by the Executive Officer, the

California Air Resources Board April 23, 2015

CP

- 201, Page 1applicant shall submit plans and specifications for the system to each of these agencies. Certification testing by these agencies may be conducted concurrently with

ARB certification testing; ho wever, the approval of the SFM, DMS, DOSH

, and a determination by the SWRCB shall be a precondition to certification by ARB . The applicant is responsible for providing documentation of these approvals and

determinations to ARB

.

1.2 Requirement to Comply with All Other Applicable Codes and Regulations Certification of a system by the Executive Officer does not exempt the system from compliance with other applicable federal, state, and local codes and regulations

.

2. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS

2.1 Performance Standards

A performance standard defines the minimum performance requirements for certification of any system, including associated components. An applicant may request certification to a performance standard that is more stringent than the minimum performance standard specified in CP

- 201

. Ongoing compliance with all applicable performance standards , including any more stringent standards requested by the applicant, shall be demonstrated throughout certification testing.

2.2 Performa nce Specifications

A performance specification is an engineering requirement that relates to the proper operation of a specific system or component thereof

. In addition to the performance specifications mandated in CP

- 201, an applicant may specify additi onal performance specifications for a system or component. An applicant may request certification to a performance specification that is more stringent than the minimum performance specification in CP

- 201

. Ongoing compliance with all applicable performan ce specifications , including any more stringent s pecification s requested by the applicant, shall be demonstrated throughout certification testing.

2.3 Innovative System

The innovative system concept provides flexibility in the design of vapor recovery systems. A vapor recovery system that fails to comply with an identified performance standard or specification may qualify for consideration as an innovative system, provided that the system meets the primary emission factor/efficiency, complies with

all other applicable requirements of certification, and the Executive Officer determines that the emission benefits of the innovation are greater than the consequences of failing to meet the identified standard or specification.

2.4 Additional or Amended Pe rformance Standards or Performance Specifications

Whenever these Certification Procedures are amended to include additional or

amend ed performance standards, any system that is certified as of the effective date

of additional or amended standards shall re main certified until the operative date.

California Air Resources Board April 23, 2015

CP

- 201, Page 2S ystems installed before the operative date of a dditional or amended standard s may remain in use for the remainder of their useful life or for up to four years after the effective date of the new standard, whichev er is shorter, provided the requirements of

section 19 are met

.

Whenever these Certification Procedures are amended to include additional or
amend ed performance specifications, a system shall remain certified until the

Executive Order expiration date

. A s ystem that w as installed before the operative date

of a dditional or amended performance specification s may remain in use subject to the requirements of section 17.

2.4.1 The effective and operative date s of adoption for all performance standards

and s pecifications contained herein are specified in Table 2

- 1

.

2.4.2 The operative date s of performance standards shall be the effective date of adoption of amended or additional performance standards, except as otherwise specified in Table 2

- 1 . Certificat ions shall terminate on the operative date of amended or additional performance standards unless the Executive Officer determines that the system meets the amended or additional performance standards. Upon the operative date of amended or additional perfo rmance standards, only systems complying with the amended or additional performance standards may be installed

.

2.4.3 The operative date s of performance specifications are listed in Table 2

- 1. As of the operative date of amended or additional performan ce specifications

, only systems complying with the amended or additional performance specifications may be installed

.

2.4.4 When the Executive Officer determines that no Phase I or Phase II system has

been certified or will not be commercially avail able by the operative dates specified in Table 2

- 1 of CP

- 201

, the Executive Officer shall extend the operative date and may extend the effective date of amended or additional performance standards or specifications

. I f there is only one certified system t o meet amended or additional standards, that system is considered to be commercially available if that system can be shipped within eight weeks of the receipt of an order by the equipment manufacturer

.

2.4. 5 The Executive Officer may determine that a sy stem certified prior to the operative date meets the amended or additional performance standards or specifications. In determining whether a previously certified system conforms with any additional or amended performance standards, specifications or other requirements adopted subsequent to certification of the system, the Executive Officer may consider any appropriate information, including data obtained in the previous certification testing of the system in lieu of new testing.

2.4. 6 Gasoline Dispensing Facilities in districts that ARB determines are in attainment with the state standard for Ozone are exempted from the Enhanced Vapor Recovery performance standards and specifications set forth in sections 3 through 9 , inclusive, with the exception of the requirement for compatibility with vehicles that are equipped with Onboard Refueling Vapor Recovery

California Air Resources Board April 23, 2015

CP

- 201, Page 3(ORVR) systems as specified in subsection 4.4. New GDFs, and those undergoing major modifications, are not exempt. If exempt facilities become subject to a dditional standards due to a subsequent reclassification of their

district from attainment to non

- attainment, the facilities will have four years to comply.

2.4. 7 The gasoline dispensing facility’s gasoline throughput for calendar year 2003

shall be used for determining compliance with the Onboard Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR) requirements in Table 2

This may be accomplished by installing a swivel connection on either the storage tank (rotat able adaptor) or delivery elbow side of the equipment, or by anchoring the product and vapor adaptors in such a way that they are not rotated during deliveries, provided the anchoring

mechanism does not contribute undue stress to other tank connections. I f a delivery elbow with a swivel connection is the preferred method, only cargo tank trucks with those elbows shall deliver to the facility. The adaptors at such a facility shall be incompatible with a delivery elbow that does not have a

swivel.

3.4.2 Ph ase I product adaptors shall be manufactured in accordance with the cam and groove specification as shown in Figure 3A. Phase I vapor recovery adaptors shall be manufactured in accordance with the cam and groove specification as specified in the Commercia l Item Description CID A

, the associated Phase I system shall be subject to all of the standards and specifications in Section 3

, and tested pursuant to Section 13

.

Compatibility of the proposed Phase II system with the certified Phase I system

installed at the certific ation test site shall be determined by use of all data collected as part of the monitoring described in Section 13 as well as an evaluation of the UST pressure profiles generated during the certification tests. Failure of any Phase I system tests conducte d during the Phase II system

certification shall require an explanation from the applicant and a determination by ARB in regard to the possible cause of the failure. Phase I system test

failures shall not trigger termination of the Phase II system certific ation unless

sufficient information demonstrate s that the Phase II system caused the failure(s).

Repeated component test failures may lead to a determination of incompatibility during the 180

- day operational test.

After successfully completing the cert ification, the Phase II system shall be evaluated based on engineering evaluation of pressure profiles to determine compatibility with other certified Phase I systems

. Unless otherwise specified by the applicant, compatibility with all other certified Pha se I systems shal l be

evaluated by ARB

.

4.5.2 Applicants for certification may, as a performance specification, limit the type of equipment with which their system is compatible. Any such specification shall

become a condition of certification.

The Executive Officer may r equire full operational testing of at least 180 days, a llow abbreviated and/or limited operational testing

, or d etermine that a component modification does not affect the performance of the vapor rec overy system and therefore no testing is required.

General criteria to be considered when determining the level of testing are as follows:

(a) extent of physical changes to the component; (b) extent of material changes to the component; (c) changes that may affect the durability of the component; (d) whether performance specifications are the same; (e) similarity of system designs (i.e. for component transfers); and (f) information from previous certification testing.

18.2.1 Modified Components

Modified components (i.e., any changes made to vapor recovery components

certified as part of a system) may be certified if testing demonstrates that performance standards and specifications will continue to be achieved. The level and duration of oper ational and/or other testing will be deter mined by the Executive Officer based on an engineering evaluation.

California Air Resources Board April 23, 2015

CP

- 201, Page 5518.2.2 Transfer of Components from Another Certified System

Components certified with a system may subsequently be considered for use with another certified system of similar design provided that the performance

standards and specifications of the components, as specified in the application for the system, are equivalent. P erformance standards and specifications

, and compatibility

, are to be verified by testing and/or engineering evaluation.

Abbreviated/limited operational testing may be considered since the component has previously undergone 180

- day/ f ull certification testing as part of another system. Abbreviated tests will only be allowed for components whose performance is not expected t o change or degrade over the longer test period.

18.2.3 New Component(s) that have not been P reviously Certified on a System.

Components that have not previously been certified with a system, whether for use as an alternate or replacement component, shall be required to undergo operational testing of at least 180 days . Limited operational testing may be considered for such components , if determined to be appropriate by the

Executive Officer

.

18.2. 4 Components that do not affect the performance of the vapor recovery system.

Certification sha ll not be required for components, either new or modified, determined by the Executive Officer not to affect the performance of the vapor
recovery system. The Executive Officer shall notify the applicant in writing of

th e determination. However, in some cases, such as when a part number changes, an amendment to the Executive Order may be required. An engineering evaluation sha ll be conducted to document that the change will not affect the performance of the vapor recove ry system.

18.2.5 Other Amendments to Executive Orders

(a) System Configurations

Alternative configurations of components of a certified system may

be considered for certification based on limited and abbreviated testing. Examples of alternative system configura tions include dual fill or remote fill for Phase I and processor placement or vapor piping options for Phase II.

(b) Software Updates

Software revisions of previously certified software components may

be considered for certification with limited and/or abbre viated testing. The software change may be approve d with no testing if the

Executive Officer finds that the software modifications do not affect the vapor recovery system or in

- station diagnostic system performance.
