Which document is the best reference for certified Phase II vapor recovery equipment at a gasoline dispensing facility?

• A. Local petroleum equipment authorized dealer
• B. The building permit for the GDF
• C. Title 17, California Code of Regulations
• D. CARB Executive Order applicable to the GDF

Answer: (D)

The best reference for certified Phase II vapor recovery equipment at a gasoline dispensing facility is the CARB Executive Order applicable to the GDF. This document provides specific and authoritative certification information for vapor recovery systems, detailing which equipment has been tested and found to comply with the stringent standards set by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The Executive Order ensures that the equipment meets environmental regulations aimed at reducing volatile organic compound emissions during the refueling of vehicles.

Understanding this document is crucial as it lists approved manufacturers and models, providing operators with the assurance that their chosen vapor recovery systems are compliant with state regulations and designed to effectively minimize air pollution at the facility. In contrast, while local petroleum equipment dealers may provide helpful information or recommendations, they do not have the authoritative status that the Executive Order holds. The building permit for the GDF is also important but focuses on construction compliance rather than specific equipment certification. Title 17 contains regulations related to air quality but does not provide the same level of specific equipment certification that the CARB Executive Order does.
