Vapor Recovery

A gas station with a "MINI MART" sign, vehicles including an RV and cars, with a backdrop of a forested hillside.

With only a few exceptions, the Northern Sierra Air Quality Management District requires all gasoline dispensing facilities, both retail and non-retail, to be equipped with a Phase I and Phase II vapor recovery system. All new facilities and all major modifications to existing facilities must be done under the authority of an Air District permit. Download the Authority to Construct form in the Forms page. 

The following District rules govern the storage, transportation and distribution of gasoline: Rule 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218. 219, and 220.
