OPINION
AND
ORDER OF THE
BOARD
(by R.C. Flemal):
Section 182(b) (1)
of the Clean Air Act (CAA),
as amended
in 1990, requires all moderate and above ozone nonattainment
areas to achieve a 15
reduction of 1990 emissions of volatile
organic material
(VON)
by 1996.
In Illinois, the Chicago and the
Metro—East St. Louis
(Metro—East)
areas are classified as
“severe” and “moderate” nonattainment for ozone,
respectively,
and as such are subject to the 15
reduction requirement.
Also
pursuant to Section 182(b)
of the CAA, Illinois
is to submit a
15
Rate of Progress Plan
(ROP) within three years of the
enactment of the
CAA
Amendments.
The instant rulemaking, which was filed on April 25,
1994 by
the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
(Agency), represents
Part I of the rules to be adopted in the State’s 15
ROP.
The Board’s responsibility in this matter arises from the
Environmental Protection Act
(Act)
(415
ILCS 5/1 et seq.
(1992)).
The Board is charged therein to “determine, define and implement
the environmental control standards applicable in the State of
Illinois”
(415 ILCS 5/5(b)).
More generally, the Board’s
rulemaking charge
is based on the system of checks and balances
integral to Illinois environmental governance: the Board bears
responsibility for the rulemaking and principal adjudicatory
functions; the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
(Agency)
has primary responsibility for administration of the Act and the
Board’s regulations.
The latter includes administering today’s
new regulation.
The rules as proposed were filed pursuant to Section 28.5 of
the Environmental Protection Act
(Act).
(415 ILCS 5/28.5
(1992).)
That section requires the Board to proceed with
rulemaking under set time—frames.
The Board has no discretion to
adjust these time frames under any circumstances.
Today the
Board acts to adopt this rule as final and send the amendments to
the Administrative Code Division of the Secretary of State’s
2
office for publication and assignment of an effective date
pursuant to the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
(5
ILCS 100/1005—40
(1992).)
PROCEDURAL HISTORY
On May 5,
1994, the Board sent the rules as proposed to
first notice under the APA, without commenting on their merits.
The proposal was published in the Illinois Register on May 20,
1994,
at 18
Ill. Reg.
7589 (Part 211),
18 Ill. Reg. 7602
(Part
218),
18 Iii. Reg. 7618
(Part 219), and 18 Ill.
Reg. 7636
(Part
201).
A hearing was held on June 17,
1994 in Chicago, Illinois
before hearing officer Michelle C.
Dresdow.
Previously—scheduled
second and third hearings were cancelled pursuant to Section
28.5(g)
of the Act.
(415 ILCS 5/28.5(g)
(1992).)
Pursuant to
Section 28.5(1), the comment period closed July 8,
1994.
On
August 11,
1994, the Board sent the proposed amendments to the
Joint Committee on Administrative Rules
(JCAR)
for review as
required by the APA.
On September 13,
1994, JCAR voted
a
certificate of no objection to the rule.
JCAR recommended minor
grammatical corrections which the Board today incorporates into
the rules.
DISCUSSION OF TODAY’S AMENDMENTS
Today’s amendments include the installation of
pressure/vacuum
(P/V)
relief valves on storage tank vent pipes at
certain gasoline dispensing operations.
Also,
for the Metro—East
area a lowering of the Reid vapor pressure
(RVP)
of gasoline from
9.0 pounds per square inch
(psi)
to 7.2 psi is
included.
An
addition of a definition and a few other minor changes are
necessary for the pressure/vacuum relief valves and RVP rules.
P/V Relief Valves
A P/V relief valve is
a device designed to control emissions
resulting from “breathing”
of a gasoline storage tank and escape
of vapors through the tank’s vent pipe.
Neither the Stage
I nor
Stage II controls currently in place are designed to achieve such
control,
and VON emissions in the form of gasoline vapors still
occur as vapors are emitted via underground storage tank vent
pipes.
The vent pipe emissions result from breathing losses
which are caused by vapor and liquid expansion due to diel
changes in temperature, barometric pressure, and gasoline
evaporation.
The control of these emissions can be easily
accomplished with the use of the P/V relief valve;
control is
cost effective.

Supp.
Doc.

Citations to the record are as follows:
Documents from
the Agency’s proposal such as the Statement of Reasons as “St.
of
Reasons at X”, and Technical Support Documents as “Tech.
Supp.
3
The P/V relief valve uses a set of weights or springs to
restrict outward or inward venting until the set pressure/vacuum
has been reached.
Vent pipes equipped with a P/V relief valve
will greatly reduce breathing losses and VON emissions, will
increase the effectiveness of Stage I and Stage
II controls,
and
still provide for storage tank safety.
P/V relief valves have
been in use for many years and several of the California local
agencies require their use.
(Tech.
Supp. Doc. P/V at 2.)
The rule requires the installation by March 15, 1995 of a
P/V relief valve on each gasoline storage tank vent in the
Chicago and Metro—East ozone nonattainment areas.
The P/V relief
valve must be capable of resisting a pressure of at least
3
inches water column and
a vacuum of at least
8 inches water
column2.
(~
Exh.
12 at 3.)
The rule also requires the owner
or operator to register the installation of the P/V relief valve,
to maintain records of malfunctions, maintenance,
and repair, and
to annually test for proper system pressure/vacuum.
(Tech. Supp.
Dcc. P/V at 3.)
The geographic areas subject to the rules for P/V valves on
storage tank vent pipes at gasoline dispensing operations are the
Chicago and Metro—East nonattainment areas,
as described in 35
Ill. Adm. Code 218.103 and 219.103, respectively.
The rule
applies to any private or retail gasoline dispensing operation
that has a storage tank of at least 575 gallons.
(St.
of Reasons
at 3.)
Utilizing information obtained from the Illinois Stage II
vapor recovery program, the Agency estimates that 10,883 gasoline
dispensing facilities are subject to this rule.
(Tech.
Supp.
Dcc. P/V at 3.)
However, tanks installed before January
1,
1979,
are exempt from the rule if they have a capacity of less than
2000 gallons,
as are tanks equipped with floating roofs or
equivalent control devices that have been approved by the State
and USEPA.
(St.
of Reasons at 3;
35 Ill. Adm. Code 218.583 and
219.583.)
The Agency reports that P/V valves are a proven technology
that has been in use for many years.
The average cost range to
install each valve is between $67 and $82 and there is no routine
maintenance required.
The valve has a life expectancy of
10 to
15 years.
The Agency has estimated a cost effectiveness of the
control measure to be $139 per ton of VON emissions reduced.

If a facility is subject to Stage
II vapor control
requirements, the P/V relief valve used must be CARB (California
Air Resources Board)
certified.
Today’s rule allows for
different pressure/vacuum requirements than here cited if the
CARB certification so requires.

cost effectiveness is calculated from the total tons of VON to be
recovered and the total cost in dollars to the industry.

Supp.
Doc. P/V at 5; Exh.

7.2 i,si RVP Gasoline
Part of the ROP VOM emissions plan in the Metro—East
nonattainment area is to place a limit on the volatility of
gasoline, measured as RVP.
A 7.8 psi RVP was originally
recommended to coincide with the gasoline volatility requirement
of the adjacent St.
Louis, Missouri,
area.
However,
in December
1993, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources proposed
lowering the St. Louis area gasoline RVP to 7.2 psi.
Therefore,
in order to maintain consistency within the region, the Agency
proposed to the Board the same 7.2 psi RVP limit3.
This control
measure is not being adopted for use in the Chicago area because
that area is one of nine areas
in the nation included in the
federal reformulated gasoline program under Section 211(k)
of the
CAA
(Tech.
Supp.
Dcc. RVP at
1), and independent action such as
that today adopted for the Metro-East area is accordingly
unnecessary.
The Agency estimates a 1996 reduction of about 5.7 tons per
day
(TPD)
from the use of gasoline with an RVP of 7.8 psi.
This
figure includes a growth factor, developed from Illinois
Department of Transportation (IDOT)
data,
for estimating 1996
statewide gasoline sales.
The Agency further estimates that use
of 7.2 psi gasoline, and assuming the same sales growth and 30
ethanol-blend market share with an 8.2 psi RVP, would reduce 1996
VON emissions by an additional 2.9 TPD,
or by approximately 8.6
TPD from 1990 levels.
(Tech.
Supp.
Doc. RVP at 4 and attachment
A.)
Estimated reduction for the entire control period June
1
through September 15
is 912 tons of VON.
(~.
at 5.)
The rule limits the gasoline sold in the Metro-East
nonattainment counties to 7.2 psi RVP between June
1 and
September 15, beginning in 1995,
for retail outlets and wholesale
consumers; and also beginning in 1995 between May
1 and September
15 for all other affected operations.
The rule grants
a 1.0 psi
waiver for ethanol—blended gasolines that have an ethanol content
of between 9
and 10,
by volume.
The rule requires gasoline
marketers to maintain records indicating that the volatility of
each gasoline shipment is in compliance with the 7.2 psi RVP
standard.
(Tech.
Supp.
Dcc. RVP at 5.)
~At the time the Agency proposed this rule to the Board,
Missouri announced that it was proposing a 7.0 psi RVP
regulation.
However, Missouri’s proposal includes a 0.3 psi
testing tolerance, so using a 7.2 psi RVP in the Metro-East area
would continue to be consistent for the region.
(Exh.
13 at 3.)
S
Gasoline sampling and testing to assure compliance will be
performed by the Illinois Department of Agriculture.
Sampling
will be performed in accordance with procedures described by
USEPA in its gasoline volatility regulations at 40 CFR 80
Appendix D.
Gasoline volatility and ethanol content tests will
be performed following the procedures prescribed by USEPA in 40
CFR Appendices E and F, respectively.
Gasoline analysis results
will be forwarded to the Agency for compliance assurance.
(u.)
The rule affects petroleum refiners and marketers, who will
have to produce and sell the lower volatility gasoline, and the
driving public, who will have to pay a marginally higher price
for gasoline
(St. of Reasons at 4)
of about
1 to
2 cents per
gallon
(Tech.
Supp. Doc. RVP at 5).
This analysis does not take
into consideration the consequences to the distributors of fuel
savings from decreased gasoline evaporation and increased energy
density.
(u.).
PUBLIC COMMENTS
The Board received public comments from the Department of
Commerce and Community Affairs
(DCCA)
(PC# 1),
the Administrative
Code Division (Code Division)
(PC#
2), the Illinois Petroleum
Marketers Association and the Illinois Association of Convenience
Stores
(IPMA)
(PC# 3), the City of Chicago
(PC# 4),
and the
Agency
(PC# 5).
The Board has considered all public comments,
as well as all
testimony and exhibits,
in making its decisions in this matter.
In general, there is no disagreement on the part of the
participants and commenters on the substance of the amendments.
A discussion of the public comments is contained in the Board’s
second notice opinion and order of August
11,
1994.
CONCLUSION
The Board finds that the rules are technically feasible and
economically reasonable, and that the rules are necessary to meet
the requirements of the Clean Air Act.
We find that the record
supports adopting the rules,
as amended in the August 11,
1994
second notice opinion and order.
The only additional changes
made to the rules and non—substantive technical corrections, such
as the addition or deletion of commas,
at various places in the
rules.
