10300 Torre Avenue, Cupertino, California 95014 (408) 777-3308
To: Mayor and City Council Members
Chairperson and Planning Commissioners
From: Steve Piasecki, Director of Community Developm~
Prepared by: Elizabeth Pettis, Assistant Planner
Date: August 1, 2008
Subject: Director's Minor Modification, DIR-2008-24, to erect a state-mandated, above-
ground, phase II vapor recovery system for an underground storage tank at an
existing gasoline station located at 19030 Stevens Creek Blvd.
Chapter 19.132 of the Cupertino Municipal Code allows for administrative
approval of minor changes in a project. The Director reports his decision
to the City Council and Planning Commission in time to allow an appeal
of the decision within fourteen calendar days.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant, Kim Link of LHB & Associates, representing Robinson Oil Corporation,
is required by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to install vapor recovery
systems to filter gasoline vapors that emanate when refueling vehicle fuel tanks (Exhibit
A). Presently, CARB has certified two systems that comply with its current air quality
regulations. The applicant is installing the VST System, Phase II Enhanced Vapor
Recovery System (Exhibit B). The main component (VST Membrane Processor) (Exhibit
C) is about 4 feet tall, and above-ground installations are governed by the CARB's
rulemaking and are not subject to City regulation. This is a statewide mandate and
eventually all gasoline stations in California will be retrofitted with this system.
The membrane processor will be located on the west side of the property (adjacent to
Judy Avenue) approximately 12 feet from the side property line and 18 inches from the
existing vent stack risers (see exhibit below).

Air Resources Board
Vapor Recovery Certification Procedure
CP -201
Certification Procedure for
Vapor Recovery Systems at
Gasoline Dispensing Facilities
A set of definitions common to all Certification and Test Procedures are in:
D-200 Definitions for Vapor Recovery Procedures
For the purpose of this procedure, the term "ARB" refers to the California Air Resources Board,
and the term "Executive Officer" refers to the ARB Executive Officer, or his or her authorized
representative or designate.
GENERAL INFORMATION AND APPLICABILITY
This document describes the procedure for evaluating and certifying Phase I and Phase II
vapor recovery systems, and components, used at Gasoline Dispensing Facilities (GDF)
with underground storage tanks. An ARB Executive Order certifying the system shall be
issued only after all of the applicable certification requirements have been successfully
completed.
This Certification Procedure, CP -201, is adopted pursuant to Section 41954 of the
California Health and Safety Code (CH&SC) and is applicable to vapor recovery systems
installed at gasoline dispensing facilities for controlling gasoline vapors emitted during the
fueling of storage tanks (Phase 1) and the refueling of vehicle fuel tanks (Phase ll). Vapor
recovery systems are complete systems and shall include all associated dispensers,
piping, nozzles, couplers, processing units, underground tanks and any other equipment
or components necessary for the control of gasoline vapors during Phase I or Phase II
refueling operations at GDF.
1.1 Legislative and Regulatory Requirements of Other State Agencies
As required pursuant to Sections 25290.1.2, 41955 and 41957 of the CH&SC, the
Executive Officer shall coordinate this certification procedure with:
1.1.1 Department of Food and Agriculture,
Division of Measurement Standards (DMS)
1.1.2 Department of Forestry and Fire Protection,
Office of the State Fire Marshall (SFM)
1.1.3 Department of Industrial Relations,
California Air Resources Board May 25, 2006
CP -201, Page 1
Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH)
1.1.4 State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB)
Division of Water Quality
Prior to certification of the vapor recovery system by the Executive Officer, the
applicant shall submit plans and specifications for the system to each of these
agencies. Certification testing by these agencies may be conducted concurrently with
ARB certification testing; however, the approval of the SFM, DMS, DOSH, and a
determination by the SWRCB shall be a precondition to certification by ARB. The
applicant is responsible for providing documentation of these approvals and
determinations to ARB.
1.2 Requirement to Comply with All Other Applicable Codes and Regulations
Certification of a system by the Executive Officer does not exempt the system from
compliance with other applicable codes and regulations such as state fire codes,
weights and measures regulations, and safety codes and regulations.
2. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS
2.1 Performance Standards
A performance standard defines the minimum performance requirements for
certification of any system, including associated components. An applicant may
request certification to a performance standard that is more stringent than the
minimum performance standard specified in CP -201. Ongoing compliance with all
applicable performance standards, including any more stringent standards requested
by the applicant, shall be demonstrated throughout certification testing.
2.2 Performance Specifications
A performance specification is an engineering requirement that relates to the proper
operation of a specific system or component thereof. In addition to the performance
specifications mandated in CP -201, an applicant may specify additional performance
specifications for a system or component. An applicant may request certification to a
performance specification that is more stringent than the minimum performance
specification in CP -201. Ongoing compliance with all applicable performance
specifications, including any more stringent specifications requested by the applicant,
shall be demonstrated throughout certification testing.
California Air Resources Board May 25, 2006
CP -201, Page 2
2.3 Innovative System
The innovative system concept provides flexibility in the design of vapor recovery
systems. A vapor recovery system that fails to comply with an identified
performance standard or specification may qualify for consideration as an innovative
system, provided that the system meets the primary emission factor/efficiency,
complies with all other applicable requirements of certification, and the Executive
Officer determines that the emission benefits of the innovation are greater than the
consequences of failing to meet the identified standard or specification.
2.4 Additional or Amended Performance Standards or Performance Specifications
Whenever these Certification Procedures are amended to include additional or
amended performance standards, any system that is certified as of the effective date
of additional or amended standards shall remain certified until the operative date.
Systems installed before the operative date of additional or amended standards may
remain in use for the remainder of their useful life or for up to four years after the
effective date of the new standard, whichever is shorter, provided the requirements
of section 19 are met.
Whenever these Certification Procedures are amended to include additional or
amended performance specifications, a system shall remain certified until the
Executive Order expiration date. A system that was installed before the operative
date of additional or amended performance specifications may remain in use subject
to the requirements of section 17.
2.4.1 The effective and operative dates of adoption for all performance standards
and specifications contained herein are specified in Table 2-1.
2.4.2 The operative dates of performance standards shall be the effective date of
adoption of amended or additional performance standards, except as
otherwise specified in Table 2-1. Certifications shall terminate on the
operative date of amended or additional performance standards unless the
Executive Officer determines that the system meets the amended or
additional performance standards. Upon the operative date of amended or
additional performance standards, only systems complying with the amended
or additional performance standards may be installed.
2.4.3 The operative dates of performance specifications are listed in Table 2-1. As
of the operative date of amended or additional performance specifications,
only systems complying with the amended or additional performance
specifications may be installed.
2.4.4 When the Executive Officer determines that no Phase I or Phase II system
has been certified or will not be commercially available by the operative dates
specified in Table 2-1 of CP -201, the Executive Officer shall extend the
operative date and may extend the effective date of amended or additional
performance standards or specifications. If there is only one certified system
to meet amended or additional standards, that system is considered to be
California Air Resources Board May 25, 2006
CP -201, Page 3
commercially available if that system can be shipped within eight weeks of
the receipt of an order by the equipment manufacturer.
2.4.5 The Executive Officer may determine that a system certified prior to the
operative date meets the amended or additional performance standards or
specifications. In determining whether a previously certified system conforms
with any additional or amended performance standards, specifications or
other requirements adopted subsequent to certification of the system, the
Executive Officer may consider any appropriate information, including data
obtained in the previous certification testing of the system in lieu of new
testing.
2.4.6 Gasoline Dispensing Facilities in districts that ARB determines are in
attainment with the state standard for Ozone are exempted from the
Enhanced Vapor Recovery performance standards and specifications set
forth in sections 3 through 9, inclusive, with the exception of the requirement
for compatibility with vehicles that are equipped with Onboard Refueling
Vapor Recovery (ORVR) systems as specified in subsection 4.4. New GDFs,
and those undergoing major modifications, are not exempt. If exempt facilities
become subject to additional standards due to a subsequent reclassification
of their district from attainment to non -attainment, the facilities will have four
years to comply.
2.4.7 The gasoline dispensing facility's gasoline throughput for calendar year 2003
shall be used for determining compliance with the Onboard Refueling Vapor
Recovery (ORVR) requirements in Table 2-1.
