BASIS STATEMENT

Nine counties in the State of Maine exceed the national ambient air quality standard for ozone, a ground-level smog which causes health problems in humans. Ozone is formed in part by volatile organic compounds (VOC) contained in gasoline vapors that react in the presence of sunlight. The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 mandate the control of VOC contained in gasoline vapors that are emitted during the transfer of gasoline between gasoline storage tanks at bulk gasoline plants and delivery tank trucks.

In addition to the Basis Statement above, the Department has filed with the Secretary of State its response to comments received during the public comment period.
