Section 20.11.65.12 - STORAGE OF GASOLINE IN STATIONARY CONTAINERS GREATER THAN 40,000 GALLONS CAPACITY

No person shall load, store, or hold gasoline in any stationary container of more than 40,000 gallons capacity, unless such container is a pressure vessel capable of maintaining working pressures sufficient at all times to prevent gasoline vapor loss to the atmosphere, or designed and equipped with one of the following vapor loss control devices, properly installed, in good working order and in operation:

A. A floating roof; consisting of a pontoon-type or double-deck-type roof, resting on the surface of the fluid contents and equipped with a closure seal, or seals, to close the space between the roof edge and container wall. The control equipment provided for in this subsection shall not be used if the gasoline has a vapor pressure of 9.0 psia or greater under actual storage conditions. All container gauging and sampling devices shall be gas-tight except when gauging or sampling is taking place.

B. A vapor recovery system; consisting of a vapor gathering system capable of collecting the vapors and gases discharged and a vapor disposal system capable of processing such vapors and gases so as to emit no greater than 1.24 pounds of VOC's per 1000 gallons transferred with all container gauging and sampling devices gas-tight except when gauging or sampling is taking place.
