3. The owner or operator of a gasoline- dispensing facility with an average monthly volume of gasoline of at least 10,000 gallons but less than 100,000 gallons shall install and operate vapor collection and recovery devices on all gasoline-dispensing tanks and hoses within two years of the effective date of the ordinance codified in this article.
B. The owner and operator of a gasoline- dispensing facility shall report in writing to the commissioner on or before the ninetieth day following the effective date of the ordinance codified in this article, when the facility shall come into compliance with the terms of this section.

Such report shall identify the time, specific location, equipment involved, and the cause of the malfunction.
C. The owner or operator of a gasoline-dispensing facility must report in writing to the commissioner on or before April 1st of each year the type and duration of any defect of malfunctions of vapor collection and recovery systems which occurred during the previous calendar year, and the repairs undertaken to correct and prevent recurrence of the malfunction.

2. Is repaired by the owner or operator within fifteen days after failing to meet the pressure change standard;
3. Complies with all regulations issued by the commissioner and requirements of the Illinois Pollution Control Board for the transfer of gasoline from any delivery vessel into any stationary storage tank at a gasoline-dispensing facility.
B. All gasoline transport vehicles must undergo a pressure-vacuum test within one year after the effective date of this section, and each succeeding test is to be done within one year of the previous test. The owner of a gasoline transport vehicle shall test the vehicle annually for compliance with this article, using test methods of the commissioner.
