OPW Introduces
“The Unmatched Solution”
Comprehensive Solution Assists Gasoline Dispensing Facilities in Meeting the New EPA National Air Emission Standards

On Jan. 10, 2008, new National Air Emission Standards for Gasoline Dispensing Facilities (GDFs) from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) went into effect. These new standards are designed to reduce and eliminate the hazardous air pollutants at GDFs. The new rules apply to all existing or new GDFs that have a monthly throughput of 100,000 gallons or more and are not already required by state or local authorities to have a Stage 1 vapor-balancing system.

In order to meet the new EPA requirements, these facilities will have to demonstrate that their connections and lines are equipped with the following:

• Seal closures
• Demonstrate no leak in the vapor line between and storage and cargo tanks
• Keep cargo-tank pressure below a specified setting
• Prevent over-tight or loose fittings
• Gauge well provided with submerged drop tube extending specified distance from the tank bottom
• Use vapor-tight caps for liquid fill connections
• Install pressure/vacuum vent valves on tank vent pipes at specified setting and test initially and every three years
• Install a vapor balance system that passes a static-pressure test every three years
• Install dual-point (no coaxial) vapor-balance systems in new facilities or tanks, and reconstructed facilities

Only OPW has the most complete line of environmental products in the world — The Unmatched Solution — to meet these new EPA requirements.
