Vapor Recovery Program
This page last reviewed March 27, 2013
Background
The ARB evaluates and tests new or modified vapor recovery systems. These systems recover the gasoline vapors generated while fueling vehicles in a service station. The goal of the program is to assure that the vapor recovery systems which meet the stringent certification requirements are certified expeditiously.
What's New:
Approval Letter #13-01
Amending model numbers for Standing Loss Control certified Containment Solutions, Inc Hoover Vault aboveground storage tanks.
Frequently Asked Questions Pertaining to EVR Requirements for GDFs Equipped with Aboveground Storage Tanks
The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) portion of ARB’s Vapor Recovery Program webpage has been updated to include a new section dedicated to the implementation of Enhanced Vapor Recovery (EVR) requirements for gasoline dispensing facilities equipped with aboveground storage tanks. This new section consists of four sub-categories including: standing loss control, Phase I, Phase II, and E-85.
Executive Orders VR-203-N and VR-204-N
Amendment of Balance Phase II EVR Systems to add new components and features including Franklin Fueling CAS with Emco Hanging Hardware, OPW Re-connectable Breakaway, Veeder-Root Maintenance Tracker, Veeder-Root Wireless Pressure Sensor, VST Green Machine, and INCON ISD. See Modification Highlights for specific changes.
Informational Bulletin
For Service Stations with an Annual Gasoline Throughput of 600,000 gallons or Less.
2012 Vehicle Test Matrices
Several 2012 test matrices of conventional vehicles were prepared to be used in certifying Phase II vapor recovery systems by ARB.
AST EVR Compliance Dates
The existing AST EVR Timeline has been replaced with the Enhanced Vapor Recovery Compliance Dates for Aboveground Storage Tanks table.
Future of EVR Program
The California Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) staff is holding three public workshops to discuss a draft regulatory proposal for amendments to the Enhanced Vapor Recovery (EVR) program for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities (GDFs).
