PURPOSE: This rule restricts volatile organic compound emissions from the handling of petroleum liquids in three specific areas: petroleum storage tanks with a capacity greater than forty thousand gallons, the loading of gasoline into delivery vessels and the transfer of gasoline from delivery vessels into stationary storage containers. Exemptions are provided for facilities that make transfers into stationary storage containers of certain sizes and types. This rule is required in order to reduce hydrocarbon emissions in the Kansas City metropolitan area that contribute to the formation of ozone.

All pressure/vacuum valves shall be bench tested prior to installation. Initial fueling facilities shall have MO/PETP approved pressure/vacuum valves.

1. (B) Stationary storage tanks with a capacity of two hundred fifty to two thousand (250–2,000) gallons shall also be equipped with a Stage I vapor recovery system and the delivery vessels to these tanks shall be in compliance with section (6) of this rule.

   1. 1. The vapor recovery system shall col-

lect no less than ninety percent (90%) by volume of the vapors displaced from the stationary storage tank during gasoline transfer and shall return the vapors via a vapor-tight return line to the delivery vessel.
