Sec. 6.
(a) The
				following definitions apply throughout this section:
(1) "Average monthly volume" means the amount
				of motor fuel dispensed per month from a gasoline dispensing facility based
				upon a monthly average for a two (2) year period from November 1990 through
				October 1992, or, if not available, the monthly average for the most recent
				twelve (12) calendar months. Monthly averages shall include only those months
				when the facility was operating.
(2) "CARB" means the California Air Resources
				Board.
(3) "Certified" means any
				vapor collection and control system that has been tested and approved by CARB
				as having a vapor recovery and removal efficiency of at least ninety-five
				percent (95%) by weight.
(4)
				"Constructed" means fabricated, erected, or installed and refers to any
				facility, emission source, or air pollution control equipment.
(5) "Dynamic pressure drop test" means a test
				procedure used to determine the pressure drop (flow resistance) through vapor
				collection and control systems, including:
(A) nozzles;
(B) vapor hoses;
(C) swivels;
(D) dispenser piping; and
(E) underground piping;
at prescribed flow rates. Test procedures for this test can
				  be found in EPA 450/3-91-022b, "Technical Guidance-Stage II Vapor Recovery
				  Systems for Control of Vehicle Refueling Emissions at Gasoline Dispensing
				  Facilities"*.
(6) "Employee" means any person who performs
				work for an employer for compensation.
(7) "Facility" means any:
(A) building;
(B) structure;
(C) installation;
(D) operation; or
(E) combination located on contiguous
				properties and under common ownership; that provides for the dispensing of
				motor vehicle fuel.
(8)
				"Gasoline dispensing facility" means any facility where gasoline is dispensed
				into motor vehicle fuel tanks or portable containers from a storage tank with a
				capacity of nine hundred forty-six (946) liters (two hundred fifty (250)
				gallons) or more. Diesel fuel and kerosene are not considered to be motor
				vehicle fuels.
(9) "Independent
				small business marketer of gasoline" means a person engaged in the marketing of
				gasoline who:
(A) is not a refiner;
(B) does not control, is not controlled by,
				or is not under common control with a refiner;
(C) is not otherwise directly or indirectly
				affiliated with a refiner or a person who controls, is controlled by, or is
				under a common control with a refiner (unless the sole affiliation referred to
				in this subdivision is by means of a supply contract or an agreement or
				contract to use a trademark, trade name, service mark, or other identifying
				symbol or name owned by such refiner or any such person); and
(D) receives less than fifty percent (50%)
				annual income from the marketing of gasoline.
(10) "Liquid blockage test" means a test
				procedure used to detect low points in any vapor collection and control system
				where condensate may accumulate. Test procedures can be found in EPA
				450/3-91-022b, "Technical Guidance-Stage II Vapor Recovery Systems for Control
				of Vehicle Refueling Emissions at Gasoline Dispensing Facilities"*.
(11) "Modification" means any change,
				removal, or addition, other than a certified replacement of any component
				contained within the vapor collection system and control system.
(12) "Motor vehicle" means any self-propelled
				vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine, including, but not limited
				to, the following:
(A) Automobiles.
(B) Trucks.
(C) Motorcycles.
(13) "Motor vehicle fuel" means any petroleum
				distillate having a Reid vapor pressure of more than four (4) pounds per square
				inch and that is used to power motor vehicles. Diesel fuel and kerosene are not
				considered to be motor vehicle fuels.
(14) "Owner or operator" means any person
				who:
(A) owns;
(B) leases;
(C) operates;
(D) manages;
(E) supervises; or
(F) controls;
directly or indirectly, a gasoline dispensing
				  facility.
(15)
				"Pressure decay or leak test" means a test procedure used to quantify the vapor
				tightness of a vapor collection and control system installed at gasoline
				dispensing facilities. Test procedures can be found in EPA 450/3-91-022b,
				"Technical
Guidance-Stage II Vapor Recovery Systems for Control of
				  Vehicle Refueling Emissions at Gasoline Dispensing Facilities"*.
(16) "Vapor collection and control
				systems" means any system certified by CARB that limits the discharge to the
				atmosphere of motor vehicle fuel vapor displaced during the dispensing of motor
				vehicle fuel into motor vehicle fuel tanks.
