Bulk Plants
 6. Each person responsible for a bulk plant shall ensure that the following rules are complied with in respect of the bulk plant: 1. The bulk plant must be equipped with an operable vapour control system applicable to transfers of gasoline at the bulk plant as specified in rules 8 and 9. 2. In each calendar year, the vapour control system must operate properly during more than 95 per cent of the time during which gasoline is transferred at the bulk plant in a manner to which the system is applicable. 3. For the purposes of rule 2, gasoline transfers involving cargo tank trucks to which section 8 does not apply and gasoline transfers that are out of the ordinary course of business at the bulk plant are not to be taken into account. 4. A record must be made of the date and duration of any transfer of gasoline to which the vapour control system is applicable during, i. a shutdown of the vapour control system that lasts for more than 24 hours, or ii. a malfunction of the vapour control system that permits abnormal discharge of gasoline vapour and lasts for more than 24 hours. 5. Records made under rule 4 must be kept at the bulk plant or at a business office of the owner of the bulk plant for at least two years. 6. All vapour hoses used for cargo tank truck hookup must have appropriate backflow prevention. 7. The vapour control system must be designed or configured so as to minimize the occurrence of low spots where condensed materials might collect. 8.   Subject to rule 9, the vapour control system must be a vapour balancing system applicable to transfers of gasoline for receipt at the bulk plant where the plant has had, in any 12-month period after 1994, a throughput greater than 4.5 million litres of gasoline. 9.   The vapour control system must be a vapour balancing system applicable to transfers of gasoline for receipt at the bulk plant and to transfers of gasoline for shipment from the bulk plant where, i. the plant has had, in any 12-month period after 1994, a throughput greater than 20 million litres of gasoline, ii. the plant began operating after 1994 and has had, in any 12-month period, a throughput greater than 4.5 million litres of gasoline, or iii. the gasoline throughput of the plant in any 12-month period after 1994 is more than 4.5 million litres greater than its gasoline throughput was for the year 1994. 10. No person may carry out work on the vapour control system or be involved in the transfer of gasoline to which the vapour control system is applicable unless he or she has received appropriate training in the operation and maintenance of the vapour control system. 11. Records of training given to a person under rule 10 must be made and kept at the bulk plant or at a business office of the owner of the bulk plant for at least two years after the person ceases to carry out the work in respect of which the training was given. 12. Written operating procedures must be prepared sufficient to enable persons working at the bulk plant to operate and maintain the vapour control system in compliance with all requirements of this Regulation, the CCME Code and the CGSB Standard. 13. The address at which records required by this section are kept must be included in the operating procedures. 14. The operating procedures must be available to each person who carries out work on the vapour control system or who is involved in the transfer of gasoline to which the vapour control system is applicable. 15. The operating procedures must be followed. 16. Equipment tests and inspections must be carried out as specified in the CGSB
Standard and as specified in the CCME Code. 17. Records of the results of all tests and inspections carried out under rule 16, other than the results of visual inspections, must be made and kept at the bulk plant or at a business office of the owner of the bulk plant for at least two years. 18. Records of abnormalities observed during visual inspections carried out under rule 16 must be made and kept at the bulk plant or at a business office of the owner of the bulk plant for at least two years. 19. Condensed material found in the vapour control system must be collected and removed from the system. 20. If the vapour control system at the bulk plant is equipped with a permissive system, the permissive system must be used for all transfers of gasoline to which the vapour control system is applicable, unless bypass procedures outlined in the operating procedures referred to in rule 12 are followed to avoid the discharge of gasoline vapour. 21. All transfers of gasoline to or from cargo tank trucks to which section 8 applies must be carried out in accordance with the cargo tank truck loading and unloading procedures specified in the CGSB Standard. 22. A transfer of diesel fuel to a cargo tank truck must be carried out as if the diesel fuel were gasoline if, i. the truck is one to which section 8 applies, and ii. the tank on the truck contained gasoline vapours immediately before the diesel fuel was put into it.
