Section R20-2-756. Downstream Blending of Arizona CBG with Nonoxygenate Blendstocks

A.      A person shall not combine Arizona CBG supplied from a pro- duction or import facility with any nonoxygenate blendstock, other than vapor recovery condensate, unless the person demonstrates to the Director:

1.        The blendstock added to the Arizona CBG meets all of the Arizona CBG standards regardless of the fuel proper- ties and performance standards of the Arizona CBG to which the blendstock is added;

2.        The person meets the requirements in this Article applica- ble to producers of Arizona CBG; and

3.        The resulting fuel blend is not used within the CBG-cov- ered area.

B.       Notwithstanding subsection (A), a person may add nonoxy- genate blendstock to a previously certified batch or mixture of certified batches of Arizona CBG that does not comply with one or more of the applicable per-gallon standards contained in R20-2-751(A) or (B) if the person obtains prior written approval from the Director based on a demonstration that add- ing the blendstock will bring the previously certified Arizona CBG into compliance with the applicable per-gallon standards for Arizona CBG. The oxygenate blender or registered sup- plier shall certify the re-blended Arizona CBG to the Depart- ment.
