PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                              10 DECEMBER 2019


          a.     VR2 equipment shall be installed on all dispensers for motor spirit/petrol in
                 compliance with NSW DECC Standards and Best Practice Guidelines for
                 Vapour Recovery at Petrol Service Stations and the Storage and Dispensing of
                 Petroleum Products Planning Scheme Policy (2014).
          b.     VR2 equipment shall be designed and approved by the German TÜV and shall
                 incorporate a visual indicator that the vacuum operates when fuel is dispensed.
                 The approval must be in accordance with the provisions of Ordinance on the
                 Limitation of Hydrocarbon Emission Resulting from the Fuelling of Motor
                 Vehicles-21, BImSchV (2002).
          c.     VR2 equipment shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s
                 specifications by a duly qualified person.
          d.     VR2 equipment shall be tested to ensure a hydrocarbon capture efficiency must
                 not be less than 85% vapour recovery to liquid dispensed by volume as
                 measured using a test for active vapour recovery systems in Verein Deutscher
                 Ingenieure (VDI) specification 4205. (testing is already required in Certification)
          Submit Certification
    85.   Prior to the commencement of the use VR2 equipment shall be tested by a duly
          qualified person in the manner specified in the NSW DECC Standards and Best
          Practice Guidelines for Vapour Recovery at Petrol Service Stations. A copy of this
          certification shall be provided to Council together with certification demonstrating that
          the system has been installed in accordance with the above.
    86.   Each petrol dispenser fitted with VR2 equipment shall be fitted with a sign stating that
          VR2 equipment is in use. Additional signage stating that VR2 equipment is in use
          shall be attached to the service station premises.
          Spill Containment
          Fuel Dispensing Area (Higher Risk Area)
    87.   Spill capture capacity must be sufficient capacity to hold a volume equivalent to at
          least the largest tanker compartment likely to be delivering fuel to the site (>8kL)
    88.   In the event of failure of any part of the system, power failure or where the spill
          compartment or hydrocarbon chamber exceeds capacity, no petroleum product shall
          be released beyond the property boundary.
    Stormwater quality discharge criteria.
    89.   Stormwater quality discharge must be to the following minimum standards:
          i.     <5ppm (mg/L) Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH)
          ii.    ≥80% reduction in Total Suspended Solids (TSS) heavy oils & metals
          iii.   ≥90% reduction in gross pollutants
    90.   There must be no high-flow bypass. 100% of captured liquids to be treated.
          Uncovered Forecourt Area (Medium Risk Area)
    91.   In the event of failure of any part of the system, power failure or where the spill
          compartment or hydrocarbon chamber exceeds capacity, no petroleum product shall
          be released beyond the property.
    92.   Stormwater quality discharge must be to the following standards:
          i.     <5ppm (mg/L) Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH)
          i.     ≥80% reduction in Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
          ii.    ≥90% reduction in gross pollutants

                                                                                    Page 34 of 84
