Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The purpose of the proposal is to create a streamlined permitting process for qualifying gasoline dispensing facilities by implementing a notification system in lieu of a notice of construction (NOC). Rule 8.12 was revised to include relevant requirements for proper operation, maintenance, testing, and recordkeeping for gasoline dispensing facilities. Additional changes include, but are not limited to, an exemption from new source review (NSR) for gasoline dispensing facilities with a cumulative gasoline storage capacity of less than ten thousand gallons. Rule 6.1.10 was edited to align with ORCAA Rule 6.1 to further clarify NSR requirements for existing stationary sources proposing to replace or substantially alter control technology. Other revisions include grammatical edits to clarify the language.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: The proposal will lessen industry and staff resources spent on gas station NOC reviews and will clearly outline the requirements for gas station owners, operators, and relevant third-party vendors. The proposed language will also help align ORCAA regulations with applicable state and federal regulations for gas stations.
