A.      The Department shall reject a vapor recovery system or com- ponent from future installation if:

1.        Federal regulations prohibit its use;

2.        The vapor recovery system or component does not meet the manufacturer’s specifications as certified by CARB using test methods approved in R20-2-1001; or

3.        The vapor recovery system or component fails greater than 20% of Department inspections for that system or component or the Department receives equivalent failure results from a vapor recovery registered service agency or from another jurisdiction’s vapor recovery program, and the Department provides at least 30 days public notice of its proposed rejection.

B.       The piping of a stage I vapor recovery system shall be desi- gned and constructed as certified by CARB for that specific vapor recovery system. A person shall not alter a stage I vapor recovery system or component from the CARB-certified con- figuration without obtaining Department approval under R20- 2-1004. All components installed with the stage I vapor recovery system shall be certified by CARB or approved by the Department as required under A.R.S. § 41-2132.
