ENHANCED VAPOR RECOVERY OR" <br />In March of 2000, the California Air Resources <br />Board adopted new, more stringent vapor recovery <br />requirements for gasoline dispensing facilities. The <br />new program is titled "Enhanced Vapor Recovery" <br />(EVR). EVR was developed to promote enhanced <br />vapor recovery system reliability and to seek further <br />vapor emission reductions to meet both California <br />and Federal Air Quality Requirements. These new <br />compliance requirements and certification proce- <br />dures for vapor recovery equipment constitute the <br />most stringent and comprehensive performance <br />and reliability requirements in existence for Vapor <br />Recovery Systems. Phase I EVR is now in force in <br />California. Additional EVR requirements including <br />those for Phase 2 vapor recovery equipment will <br />be phased in based on the timeline defined in the <br />regulations (www.arb.ca.govlvaporlvaporhtm). <br />Outside of California, EVR, or certain components of <br />EVR, are being adopted or considered in many areas. <br />Some important new requirements for a certified <br />EVR Phase I Systems include: <br />• EVR System Certification Test Protocol — All <br />Phase I vapor recovery components must now <br />be installed, tested, and certified as a complete <br />integral Phase I System. <br />• EVR System Efficiency - must now exceed <br />98% versus the 95% previously required. <br />• EVR System Performance - allowable leak rates <br />for components such as spill container drain <br />valves, overfill valves, and pressure vacuum <br />vents have been reduced by 50%. <br />• EVR System Reliability — Operating test period <br />for certification of a complete system has been <br />increased to a minimum of 180 days from the 90 <br />day individual component test period previously <br />required. Periodic follow-up testing of the vapor <br />recovery systems and components at gasoline <br />dispensing systems is required. <br />EVR, and its technology -forcing standards, <br />has raised the bar for petroleum equipment <br />manufacturers and for tank owners. OPW has <br />responded to this challenge by focusing our <br />considerable resources on the task at hand. <br />The result is the completely integrated OPW <br />EVR Certified Phase I System designed, <br />manufactured, tested, and certified by the <br />indusrty's leading manufacturer. introducing the <br />OPW EVR CerMed Phase i System..... <br />DPW 61SA-EVR SERIES DPW 61JSK-4400-EVR DPW 61VSA-EVR SERIF <br />SWIVEL FILL ADAPTOR JACK SCREW DROP TUBE SWIVEL VAPOR ADAPT( <br />LOCK DOWN DEVICE <br />DPW 634TT-EVR DPW 1711 T­EVR <br />PRODUCT FILL VAPOR RECOVERY <br />DUST CAP DUST CAP <br />0 OPW 61 SA-EVR OPW 61 VSA-EVR <br />ROTATABLE SWIVEL ROTATABLE SWIVEL <br />ADAP,rOR — FILL PORT ADAPTOR — VAPOR PORT <br />USA Patent No. 5,664,951 USA Patent No. 5,664,951 <br />
