IREGIONAL COSTS: Preliminary cOst estimates assume the induStry would get theSe reduCtions bY <br />:purchasing Iow emission gas cans: This assumes each bUS neSs Would spend about $115 on these <br />cans; for atotal of $84,780~ FUrther refinement of theSe cost estimates is expeCted. <br />!EXPECTED POLLUTION REDUCTIONS: In 2007i the industry is ProjeCted to create about 1.07 tpd of <br />NOXi This measure is expected to reduce 20%, or 0,21 tpd, of those NOX emissions. <br /> <br />DESCRIPTION: Stage I vapor recover is already in place in the Austin region for service stations that <br />pump over 125,000 gallons of fuel per month. This measure would require Stage I on service stations <br />pumping 25,000 gallons per month, thus increasing the number of service stations using the system. <br />Stage I reduces VOC emissions during fuel transfer from the tanker truck to the underground storage <br />tank through a special vapor recovery system. <br /> <br />IMPLEMENTATION: Preferably state rule, developed by TCEQ, applicable in all five counties. <br />*EACTF has recommended that TCEQ implement the measure in the eastern half of the state for all <br />service stations pumping 50,000 gallons/month or more. <br /> <br />REGIONAL COSTS: $1,199,668 per year assuming participation in all five counties. <br /> <br />EXPECTED POLLUTION REDUCTIONS: 3.82 tpd VOC reductions assuming participation in all five <br />counties. <br /> <br />DESCRIPTION: Mandate that all new gas containers purchased in the region meet spill,proof, iow <br />emission standards. <br /> <br />IMPLEMENTATION: Preferably state rule, developed by TCEQ, applicable in all five counties. <br />*EACTF has recommended that TCEQ implement the measure in the eastern half of the state. <br /> <br />REGIONAL COSTS: The incremental cost of these cans is approximately $11.00. Further evaluation of <br />the total regional costs is needed, although costs have been prepared for the lawn and garden industry <br />only (see Lawn and Garden Permitting measure). <br />EX~I~CTED POLLUTION REDUCTI(~NS: Initial est mates for only. the Lawn and Garden industry are <br />1.97 TPD VOC reductions. Regional implementation will provide a~lditional reductions. <br /> <br />DRAFT Recommended Emission Reduction Measures 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
