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
(VOM)
by 1996.
In Illinois, the Chicago and the
Metro—East St. Louis
(Metro-East)
areas are classified as
“severe” and “moderate” nonattaininent 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.
This rulemaking proposal, which was filed on April 25,
1994
by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
(Agency),
represents Part I of the rules proposed 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,
whereas the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
(Agency)
is responsible for carrying out the principal
administrative duties.
The latter’s duties include administering
any regulation that may result from the instant proceeding.
This proposal was 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
send this proposal to second notice under the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
(5 ILCS 100/1005-40
(1992).)

PROCEDURAL HISTORY
On May 5,
1994, the Board sent this proposal to first notice
under the APA, without commenting on the merits of the proposal.
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 Ill. 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.
PROPOSAL
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 VOM by 1996.
This rulemaking is part of the State’s 15
ROP program.
The
proposal contains rules which would 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 proposed.
An
addition of
a definition and a few other minor changes necessary
for the pressure/vacuum relief valves and RVP rules are also
proposed.
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 VOM 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.
(Tech.
Supp. Doc. P/V at 1’.)
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 proposed 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 proposed rules would also
require 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. Doc. P/V at 3.)
The geographic areas subject to the proposal 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
proposed rule would apply 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 would be
subject to this proposed rule.
(Tech.
Supp. Doc. 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 VOM emissions reduced.
The
cost effectiveness is calculated from the total tons of VON to be
recovered and the total cost in dollars to the industry..
(Tech.
Supp. Doc. P/V at 5;
Exh.
12 at 3-4.)
2
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.

7.2 psi
RVP
Gasoline
Part of the ROP VON 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
has proposed to the Board the same 7.2 psi RVP limit3.
This
control measure is not being proposed 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.
Doc.
RVP
at 1), and independent action such as
that today proposed 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
VOM 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 VOM.
(~.
at 5.)
The proposed 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 proposal grants a 1.0
psi waiver for ethanol—blended gasolines that have an ethanol
content of between 9
and 10,
by volume.
The proposed 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.
Doc. RVP at 5.)
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
~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.)
5
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.
(~.)
The proposal will affect 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.

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 proposal.
The DCCA comment refers to the proposal as rules which may
impact small businesses and defers to the findings of the Board
based on hearing and public comment.
Code Division suggests various form and typographical
corrections which the Board accepts and today incorporates into
the proposed rules.
The IPMA strongly supports the proposed rule.
IPMA reports
that its membership “have been installing these valves and
considers this equipment a worthwhile investment to protect the
environment”.
(PC#
3.)
IPMA also states that it supports the proposed amendments
that would require a 7.2 psi RVP limit,
but requests that the
Agency state for the record that the Agency supports the federal
0.3 testing tolerance level.
(~.)
The Board notes that in its
comments the Agency has stated that it will use a similar
discretionary enforcement policy to account for the variability
of the RVP test methods.
(PC# 5 at 3.)
The Board defers to the
Agency regarding issues of enforcement of the proposed
regulations and no revisions to the rule are here needed.
6
The City of Chicago states its general support for the
proposal, and comments on reporting requirements.
As regards the
latter, the City of Chicago encourages that reporting
requirements be coordinated with the requirements of the Office
of the State Fire Marshal as well as the requirements of the
leaking underground storage tank program in order to obtain the
most accurate data in the most efficient manner.
The Board is
currently considering new UST regulations in the proceeding R94-
2, In the Matter of Petroleum Leaking Underground Storage Tanks.
We will suggest coordination of information to the extent
applicable.
The Agency’s comments include a number of revisions to its
proposal, addressing issues raised at hearing.
The Board has
reviewed these revisions and finds that the changes do address
the issues raised.
Accordingly, the Board has incorporated these
changes into today’s proposal.
CONCLUSION
The Board finds the proposed 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 proceeding with the proposed rules,
as amended,
to second notice.
To assist comparison of today’s proposal with the proposal
as adopted for first notice, the Board indicates revisions by
highlighting (redlining)
in the order that follows.
Appropriate
underlining and strikeouts are included within that highlighting.
ORDER
The Board hereby proposes the following amendments to 35
Ill. Adm. Code 201,
211,
218, and 219.
The Board directs the
Clerk to submit the following amendments to the Joint Committee
on Administrative Rules for second notice4:
