No person may load gasoline into any tank trucks or trailers from any bulk gasoline terminal unless all of the following requirements are met: NR 420.04(1)(b)1.1. The bulk gasoline terminal is equipped with a vapor control system which is properly installed, in good working order, in operation and consisting of one of the following: NR 420.04(1)(b)2.2. All displaced vapors and gases are vented only to the vapor control system. NR 420.04(1)(b)3.3.

NR 425.03, this subsection applies to the unloading, loading, and storage facilities of all bulk gasoline plants which have an average daily throughput of 15,000 liters (4,000 gallons) of gasoline or more on a 30-day rolling average; and to all delivery vessels involved in such loading or unloading operations, except as provided in subds. 1. and 2. Any plant that becomes or is subject to this subsection shall remain subject to this subsection even if its throughput later falls below the applicability thresholds. The requirements of pars. (b) to (g) do not apply to the following: NR 420.04(2)(a)1.1. The loading or unloading of stationary storage tanks with a capacity of 2,176 liters (575 gallons) or less, notwithstanding s. NR 439.10. NR 420.04(2)(a)2.2. Bulk plant unloading facilities, the delivery vessels receiving gasoline from bulk plants, and the operation of transferring gasoline from bulk plant to delivery vessel when the transfer takes place outside the counties of Brown, Calumet, Dane, Dodge, Door, Fond du Lac, Jefferson, Kenosha, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Outagamie, Ozaukee, Racine, Rock, Sheboygan, Walworth, Washington, Waukesha and Winnebago or when the gasoline is delivered exclusively to facilities exempted from the requirements of sub. (3) by sub. (3) (a) 1., 2., 3., 4., 5. or 6. However, the requirements of pars. (b) to (g) do apply if gasoline is transferred during the ozone season to a delivery vessel whose last previous delivery was to a gasoline dispensing facility, either inside or outside this state, which is required to have a vapor balance system. NR 420.04(2)(b)(b) Equipment requirements for bulk plants. No owner or operator of a bulk gasoline plant may permit stationary storage tanks to load or unload gasoline unless each tank is equipped with a vapor balance system as described under par. (e) and approved by the department, and with one of the following: NR 420.04(2)(b)2.2. A fill line whose discharge opening is flush with or near the bottom of the tank. NR 420.04(2)(c)(c) Equipment requirements for delivery vessels. No owner or operator of a bulk gasoline plant or delivery vessel may permit the gasoline transfer operations regulated under this subsection unless each delivery vessel involved in such operations is equipped with a vapor balance system as described under par. (e) and approved by the department and the following conditions are met:
