a) Definitions. For
				the purposes of this Section, the following definitions apply.
1) Average monthly volume means the amount of
				motor vehicle fuel dispensed per month from a gasoline dispensing operation

				twelve calendar months. Monthly averages are to include only those months when
				the operation was operating.
2)
				Certified means any vapor collection and control system which has been tested
				and approved by CARB as having a vapor recovery and removal efficiency of at
				least 95% (by weight) shall constitute a certified vapor collection and control
				system. CARB testing and approval is pursuant to the CARB manual, incorporated
				by reference at Section
				218.112
				of this Part.
3) Completion of
				installation means the successful passing of one or more of the following tests
				applicable to the installed vapor collection and control system: Dynamic
				Backpressure Test, Pressure Decay/Leak Test, and Liquid Blockage Test,
				incorporated by reference at Section
				218.112
				of this Part.
4) CARB means
				California Air Resources Board, P.O. Box 2815, Sacramento, CA 95812.

				vehicles.
11) Owner or operator
				means any person who owns, leases, operates, manages, supervises or controls
				(directly or indirectly) a gasoline dispensing operation.
