Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
The following definitions apply to OAR 340-244-0232  through
				-0252. If the same term is defined in this rule and OAR 340-200-0020,
				340-244-0030, or 340-218-0030, the definition in this rule applies to OAR
				340-244-0231  through -0252.
(1)
			 "Annual throughput" means the total volume of gasoline that is loaded into, or
			 dispensed from, all gasoline storage tanks at each GDF during a year. Annual
			 throughput is calculated by summing the volume of gasoline loaded into, or
			 dispensed from, all gasoline storage tanks at each GDF during the current day,
			 plus the total volume of gasoline loaded into, or dispensed from, all gasoline
			 storage tanks at each GDF during the previous 364 days.
(2) "Aviation gasoline" means a complex
			 mixture of volatile hydrocarbons, with or without additives, suitably blended
			 to be used in aviation reciprocating engines. Specifications are found in ASTM
			 Specification D910-07a.
(3) "CARB"
			 means the California Air Resources Board.
(4) "Dual-point" means a storage tank is
			 equipped with an entry port for a gasoline fill pipe and a separate exit port
			 for a vapor connection.
(5)
			 "Dual-point vapor balance system" means a type of Stage I vapor balance system
			 in which the storage tank is equipped with an entry port for a gasoline fill
			 pipe and a separate exit port for a vapor connection.
(6) "Enhanced Conventional nozzle (ECO
			 nozzle)" means a gasoline dispensing nozzle which does not exceed a spillage
			 rate of 0.12 lbs/1000 gallons, liquid retention which does not exceed 100
			 mL/1000 gallons, spitting which does not exceed 1.0 mL per nozzle per test and
			 post-fueling drips which do not exceed three Drops/Refueling. A nozzle
			 certified by CARB through an executive order as an ECO nozzle will be
			 considered compliant with this definition.
(7) "Enhanced Vapor Recovery (EVR; Stage I
			 EVR)" means a complete vapor balance system which includes all components
			 outlined in California Air Resources Board executive order VR-101, VR-102,
			 VR-104, or VR-105 as of December 1, 2023. The specific equipment and
			 requirements for an EVR system are found in Table 2 of OAR
			 340-244-0246.
(8) "Existing" means
			 a GDF that is not new or reconstructed.
(9) "Facility" means all or part of any
			 public or private building, structure, installation, equipment, or vehicle or
			 vessel, including but not limited to ships.
(10) "Gasoline cargo tank" means a delivery
			 tank truck or railcar which is loading or unloading gasoline, or which has
			 loaded or unloaded gasoline on the immediately previous load.
(11) "Gasoline dispensing facility (GDF) "
			 means any stationary facility which dispenses gasoline into the fuel tank of a
			 motor vehicle, motor vehicle engine, nonroad vehicle, or nonroad engine,
			 including a nonroad vehicle or nonroad engine used solely for competition.
			 These facilities include, but are not limited to, facilities that dispense
			 gasoline into on- and off-road, street, or highway motor vehicles, lawn
			 equipment, boats, test engines, landscaping equipment, generators, pumps, and
			 other gasoline-fueled engines and equipment. In Clackamas, Multnomah and
			 Washington Counties, the Medford-Ashland AQMA, and the Salem-Keizer Area
			 Transportation Study, "gasoline dispensing facility" includes any stationary
			 facility which dispenses gasoline into the fuel tank of an airplane.
(12) "Medford-Ashland AQMA" is as defined in
			 Oregon Administrative Rules chapter 340 division 204.
(13) "New" means a GDF for which an owner or
			 operator had commenced construction after November 9, 2006.
(14) "ORVR" means Onboard Refueling Vapor
			 Recovery system. This is the system in a motor vehicle, part of the fuel vapor
			 emission control system, and is used to capture volatile organic compounds
			 during the refueling process.
(15)
			 "Portland AQMA" is as defined in Oregon Administrative Rules chapter 340
			 division 204.
(16) "Reconstructed"
			 means meeting the criteria for reconstruction as defined in
			 40 C.F.R.
			 63.2.
(17) "Salem-Keizer (SKATS)" is as defined in
			 Oregon Administrative Rules chapter 340 division 204.
(18) "Stage I vapor balance system (Stage I)"
			 means a combination of pipes and hoses that create a closed system between the
			 vapor spaces of an unloading gasoline cargo tank and a receiving storage tank
			 such that vapors displaced from the storage tank are transferred to the
			 gasoline cargo tank being unloaded.
(19) "Stage II vapor recovery system (Stage
			 II)" means a system where at least 90 percent, by weight, of the gasoline
			 vapors that are displaced or drawn from a vehicle fuel tank during refueling
			 are transferred to a vapor-tight holding system or vapor control
			 system.
(20) "Submerged filling"
			 means the filling of a gasoline storage tank through a submerged fill pipe
			 whose discharge is no more than the applicable distance specified in OAR
			 340-244-0245(2)  from the bottom of the tank. Bottom filling of gasoline storage
			 tanks is also submerged filling..
(21) "Throughput" means the volume of
			 gasoline loaded into, or dispensed from, gasoline storage tanks at a
			 GDF.
(22) "Topping off" means, in
			 the absence of equipment malfunction, continuing to fill a gasoline tank after
			 the nozzle has clicked off.
(23)
			 "Vapor balance system" means Stage I vapor balance system.
(24) "Vapor-tight" means equipment that
			 allows no loss of vapors. Compliance with vapor-tight requirements can be
			 determined by checking to ensure that the concentration at a potential leak
			 source is not equal to or greater than 100 percent of the Lower Explosive Limit
			 when measured with a combustible gas detector, calibrated with propane, at a
			 distance of 1 inch from the source.
(25) "Vapor-tight gasoline cargo tank" means
			 a gasoline cargo tank which has demonstrated within the 12 preceding months
			 that it meets the annual certification test requirements in
			 40 C.F.R.
			 63.11092(f).
