According to vapor recovery regulations, who is responsible for maintaining vapor recovery records?

The responsibility for maintaining vapor recovery records falls to the gas dispensing facility. This is because gas dispensing facilities are directly involved in handling the vapor recovery systems as part of their operations. These facilities must keep accurate and comprehensive documentation of their vapor recovery activities to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. This includes records of system maintenance, inspections, and any corrective actions taken in the case of leaks or failures.

Maintaining these records is crucial for demonstrating adherence to environmental regulations aimed at reducing air pollution and protecting public health. The gas dispensing facility is in the best position to monitor and document the performance of their vapor recovery systems since they operate and manage the equipment on a daily basis. This local oversight helps ensure that the systems are functioning properly and that emissions are minimized effectively.
