• Adopted during 2004
• Applies only in nonattainment areas for
ozone
• Was actively enforced in Crittenden
County upon adoption until 2010; and
again between 2012 and 2016
• No current nonattainment areas within
Arkansas

Crittenden County
• 1997 Ozone NAAQS(80 ppb)
Nonattainment Status 6/15/2004 –

Crittenden County
• Gradual rollout, with information
disseminated through the Arkansas Oil
Marketers Association (AOMA), and surveys
performed to assess the compliance status
of facilities in Crittenden County
• Compliance inspections started in 2006,
focusing on actually having a Stage I Vapor Recovery system, and progressed to
maintenance and testing of the systems

Importance of Regulation
Helps reduce VOCs, a precursor
to the formation of Ozone, in
nonattainment areas

Severity
of Effects
Ozone Health Impacts: “Pyramid of Effects”
At-Risk Groups Include:
• People with lung
disease, such as
asthma or chronic
obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD)
• Children
• Older adults
• People who are
more likely to be
exposed; such as,
people who are active
outdoors, including

Importance of Revision
• To help clarify the regulation for both
the State, and the regulated
community
• To ensure the maximum benefits in
reducing VOCs in the event of future
nonattainment designations

Previous Compliance Pitfalls
• Throughput definition required records
of fuel dispensed, while some facilities
only kept records of fuel delivered to
the gasoline storage tank
• No guidance on the facility’s
responsibilities when claiming an
exemption
12

Previous Compliance Pitfalls
• No requirement for a poppeted vapor
recovery adaptor valve to be covered
by a vapor-tight cap
• Unclear test method for the stationary
gasoline storage tanks

Previous Compliance Pitfalls
• Unclear phase-in process for
“Independent small business marketers
(ISBM)”
• No defined testing protocols

These pitfalls took time and resources
away from the main purpose of the
regulation;
• to move the affected nonattainment
area in the direction of being
reclassified attainment for the Ozone
NAAQS
• improving both the environmental
health concerns, and the ability of the
area to grow economically
