. (a) All installed systems for the control of gasoline
vapors resulting from motor vehicle fueling operations shall be
maintained in good working order in accordance with the manufacturer'
s specifications of the system certified pursuant to Section 41954.
(b) Whenever a gasoline vapor recovery control system is repaired
or rebuilt by someone other than the original manufacturer or its
authorized representative, the person shall permanently affix a plate
to the vapor recovery control system that identifies the repairer or
rebuilder and specifies that only certified equipment was used. In
addition, a rebuilder of a vapor control system shall remove any
identification of the original manufacturer if the removal does not
affect the continued safety or performance of the vapor control
system.
(c) (1) The executive officer of the state board shall identify
and list equipment defects in systems for the control of gasoline
vapors resulting from motor vehicle fueling operations that
substantially impair the effectiveness of the systems in reducing air
contaminants. The defects shall be identified and listed for each
certified system and shall be specified in the applicable
certification documents for each system.
(2) On or before January 1, 2001, and at least once every three
years thereafter, the list required to be prepared pursuant to
paragraph (1) shall be reviewed by the executive officer at a public
workshop to determine whether the list requires an update to reflect
changes in equipment technology or performance.
(3) Notwithstanding the timeframes for the executive officer's
review of the list, as specified in paragraph (2), the executive
officer may initiate a public review of the list upon a written
request that demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the executive
officer, the need for such a review. If the executive officer
determines that an update is required, the update shall be completed
no later than 12 months after the date of the determination.
(d) When a district determines that a component contains a defect
specified pursuant to subdivision (c), the district shall mark the
component "Out of Order." No person shall use or permit the use of
the component until the component has been repaired, replaced, or
adjusted, as necessary, and the district has reinspected the
component or has authorized use of the component pending
reinspection.
(e) Where a district determines that a component is not in good
working order but does not contain a defect specified pursuant to
subdivision (c), the district shall provide the operator with a
notice specifying the basis on which the component is not in good
working order. If, within seven days, the operator provides the
district with adequate evidence that the component is in good working
order, the operator shall not be subject to liability under this
division.
