§ 11.5 of this Part shall apply to bulk gasoline
					 terminals and appurtenant equipment necessary to load and unload the tank
					 trucks, railroad tank cars or trailer compartment. If a source is ever
					 considered a bulk terminal because it surpasses the daily throughput under the
					 definition in §

					 of this Part, it is always subject to this regulation even if it goes below the
					 daily throughput.
11.5.1
Prohibitions
A. No person shall
				  load or unload gasoline into any tank trucks, railroad tank cars, or trailers
				  from any bulk gasoline terminal unless the above-mentioned vessels are equipped
				  with a vapor balance system, and
1. The bulk
				  gasoline terminal is equipped with a vapor control system properly installed,
				  maintained and in good working order, in operation and that prevents emissions
				  to the atmosphere from exceeding 0.30 grams per gallon (80 grams/1000 liters)
				  of gasoline loaded over any 6-hour period as determined by § 11.5.3 of

				  operated to prevent gauge pressure in the tank truck from exceeding eighteen
				  (18) inches of water and prevent vacuum from exceeding six (6) inches of water,
				  and
2. A connecting pipe or hose
				  from the loading rack to the delivery vessel is equipped with fittings which
				  are vapor tight and will automatically and immediately close upon disconnection
				  so as to prevent release of volatile organic materials to the best extent
				  possible, and
3. A vapor space
				  connection on the tank truck, railroad tank car, or trailer equipped with
				  fittings which are vapor tight and will automatically and immediately close
				  upon disconnection so as to prevent release of volatile organic materials to
				  the best extent possible.
4. The
				  bulk gasoline terminal is equipped with a vapor control system, capable of
				  complying with § 11.5.1(A)(1) of this Part, properly installed, in good
				  working order, in operation and consistent with one of the following:
a. An adsorber or condensation system which
				  processes and recovers at least ninety percent (90%) by weight of all vapors
				  and gases from the equipment being controlled; or,
b. A vapor collection system which directs
				  all vapors to a fuel gas system and reduces emissions by at least ninety
				  percent (90%) by weight all vapors and gases from the devices being controlled;
				  or,
