Ariz. Admin. Code § R3-7-756 - Downstream Blending of Arizona CBG with Nonoxygenate Blendstocks

A. A person shall not combine Arizona CBG supplied from a production or import facility with any nonoxygenate blendstock, other than vapor recovery condensate, unless the resulting gasoline blend meets the requirements in ASTM D4814 and is not used within the CBG-covered area.

1. The blendstock added to the Arizona CBG meets all of the Arizona CBG standards regardless of the fuel properties and performance standards of the Arizona CBG to which the blendstock is added;

2. The person meets the requirements in this Article applicable to producers of Arizona CBG; and

3. The resulting fuel blend is not used within the CBG-covered area.

B. Notwithstanding subsection (A), a person may add nonoxygenate blendstock to a previously certified batch or mixture of certified batches of Arizona CBG that does not comply with one or more of the applicable per-gallon standards contained in R3-7-751(A) or (B) if the person obtains prior written approval from the associate director based on a demonstration that adding the blendstock will bring the previously certified Arizona CBG into compliance with the applicable per-gallon standards for Arizona CBG. The oxygenate blender or registered supplier shall certify the re-blended Arizona CBG to the Division, on a form or in a format prescribed by the associate director.
