Rule 606.

(1) It is unlawful for a person to load or allow the loading of gasoline from a delivery vessel into any existing stationary vessel of more than 2,000-gallon capacity located at a gasoline dispensing facility unless the stationary vessel is equipped with a permanent submerged fill pipe for either of the following:.

(a) A facility with a throughput of 250,000 or more gallons per year, and the stationary vessel was installed before July 1, 1979.

(b) The stationary vessel was installed after July 1, 1979, and before March 1, 2023.

(2) It is unlawful for a person to load or allow the loading of gasoline from a delivery vessel into any existing stationary vessel of more than 2,000-gallon capacity located at a gasoline-dispensing facility unless the stationary vessel is controlled by a vapor balance system or an equivalent control system approved by the department for the following:

(a) Any stationary vessel installed before July 1, 1979, located in the area listed in table 61 and which has a throughput of 250,000 or more gallons per year, except those served exclusively by gasoline loading facilities that have a throughput of less than 1,000,000 gallons of gasoline per year.

(b) Any stationary vessel installed or modified after July 1, 1979, and before March 1, 2023, and located in an area listed in table 61 or in the 2015 ozone nonattainment area.

(3) Proper operation of the vapor balance system as required in subrule (2) of this rule is when displaced gasoline vapor and air are captured by means of a vapor tight collection line and is designed to return not less than 90%, by weight, of the displaced gasoline vapor from the stationary vessel to the delivery vessel.

(4) Any stationary vessel that is subject to the provisions of subrule (2) of this rule must be equipped, maintained, or controlled with both of the following:

(a) An interlocking system or procedure to ensure that the vapor tight collection line is connected before any gasoline can be loaded.

(b) A device to ensure that the vapor tight collection line is closed upon disconnection to prevent the release of gasoline vapor.

(5) Any delivery vessel that is subject to the provisions of subrule (2) of this rule must be vapor tight and filled only at a loading facility that is equipped with a system as required by R 336.1608(2) and (5), and R 336.1609(2) and (4).

(6) An existing stationary vessel installed or modified after July 1, 1979, and before March 1, 2023, at a gasoline dispensing facility that is not subject to the provisions of subrule (2) of this rule must be constructed in a manner that allows the vessel to be retrofitted according to subrules (2) and (4) of this rule.
