Module 1 Phase I Vapor Recovery
• Not part of technology review
• Two EVR Phase I systems certified
• No Phase I standards changed
• Modifications proposed for five Phase I test procedures (TPs)– clarify methods to ensure compliance
tests are comparable to certification
![Page 8: California Air Resources Board December 12, 2002](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56812dd5550346895d931f78/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Ozone Standards
• Exempt existing sites from all EVR modules except ORVR compatibility
• ORVR compatibility to minimize benzene exposure
• New and modified stations must comply
• Six northern CA districts qualify
