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.
