Case No. 2023-05-M1 – United States Space Force
(Modification and Modification of Final Compliance Date)
1028 Iceland Avenue
Vandenberg Space Force Base, CA 93437
Hearing – To consider a Modification and Modification of Final Compliance Date of a 90-Day Variance to provide relief from District Rules 316.G.1 and 206, Part 70 Permit to Operate 13968-R3, Condition 9.C.9.e. The Petition was submitted on May 6, 2024, to extend relief from conducting vapor recovery testing at a gasoline dispensing facility until repairs can be made.
The Petitioner is currently operating under 90-Day Variance Order 2023-05-N, which provides relief through May 25, 2024, or the date compliance is achieved, whichever occurs first. Per Health and Safety Code Sections 42356 and 42357, the Petitioner is requesting to change the type of coverage (from 90-Day to Regular Variance) and a Modification of Final Compliance Date for Variance Order 2023-05-N, to extend coverage through July 25, 2024, or the date compliance is achieved, whichever occurs first.
The Petitioner operates the gasoline dispensing facility at the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) Car Care Center at Vandenberg Space Force Base, located at 1107 Utah Avenue, VSFB, California, 93437. The gasoline dispensing facility described in the Petition is out of service due to necessary repairs. Until the repairs can be made, the Petitioner is requesting relief from conducting the bi-annual vapor recovery testing by the due date specified in the Petitioner’s permit to operate. No gasoline dispensing activities will occur until the repairs are made and the testing is conducted. As a result, no excess emissions are expected with the granting of this request. The Modification of Final Compliance Date, if granted, would extend relief from May 26, 2024, through July 26, 2024, or the date compliance is achieved, whichever occurs first.
Said Petition is on file with the Clerk of the District Hearing Board and available for public inspection. Interested persons may submit written evidence, arguments concerning this matter, or make arrangements to view said Petition before the hearing by contacting the Hearing Board Clerk at: [email protected], or 260 North San Antonio Rd., Suite A, Santa Barbara, California 93110.
