WITHDRAWAL OF

PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY

[Filed August 19, 2021, 1:20 p.m.]

The department of ecology is withdrawing its notice of rule making (Preproposal statement of inquiry CR-101 form) filed July 2, 2013, Order 13-04, WSR 13-14-105.

Ecology proposed to amend chapter 173-491 WAC, Emissions standards and controls for sources emitting gasoline vapors. This rule establishes standards for the control of air contaminants emitted from gasoline marketing sources. The rule applies to gasoline marketing operations, which include the storage, transport, and transfer of gasoline.

We began this rule making eight years ago to update the statewide Stage I requirements for gas stations. We paused rule development to work on higher priority rule makings. After reviewing the CR-101 form, we have determined that we would need to expand the scope of this rule making if we were to proceed in the future, so we are withdrawing this notice.
