Background and Purpose

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources recently received approval to amend Missouri’s Vapor Recovery Rules 10 CSR 10-2.260 and 10 CSR 10-5.220. These regulations will be amended to improve clarity and correct perceived contradictions. This stakeholder workgroup will review these regulations, discuss improvements and corrections and propose possible solutions.

Stage I Vapor Recovery is the capture and control of gasoline vapors that would normally be released into the atmosphere during the storage of gasoline at a terminal or bulk plant or during the loading of a gasoline delivery vessel and the subsequent delivery and unloading of a gasoline delivery vessel into another storage tank, usually at a Gasoline Dispensing Facility, or GDF.

Stage II VR is the capture and control of gasoline vapors that would normally be released into the atmosphere during the refueling of motor vehicles at a GDF. When you refill your automobile gas tank, the fresh gas forces out the vapors left in the tank from the last tankful into the atmosphere. Stage II VR, recognized by the black boots on the gasoline nozzles at St. Louis area stations, captures the vapors from the automobile tank and returns these vapors to the Underground Storage Tank at the GDF. The storage tank holds the vapors until a gasoline delivery vessel using Stage I VR refills the tank. These vapors are then returned, by way of the gasoline delivery vessel, back to the terminal for processing or destruction.
