Mo. Code Regs. Ann. tit. 10, § 10-5.220
PURPOSE: This rule restricts volatile organic compound emissions from the handling of petroleum liquids in five specific areas: petroleum storage tanks with a capacity greater than forty thousand gallons, the loading of gasoline into delivery vessels, the transfer of gasoline from delivery vessels into 10 CSR 10-5
storage containers, gasoline delivery vessels and the fueling of motor vehicles from storage containers. This rule is necessary to achieve the federally mandated reduction of hydrocarbon emissions in the St. Louis metropolitan area that contribute to the formation of ozone.
