Rule 609.
(1) After June 30, 1981, it is unlawful for a person to load, or allow the loading of, any organic compound that has a true vapor pressure of more than 1.5 psia at actual conditions from any stationary vessel into any delivery vessel located at the following existing loading facilities that are outside any county listed in table 61-a and have a throughput of 5,000,000 or more gallons of the compounds per year, unless the delivery vessel is filled by a submerged fill pipe:
(2) It is unlawful for a person to load, or allow the loading of, any organic compound that has a true vapor pressure of more than 1.5 psia at actual conditions from any stationary vessel into any delivery vessel located at the following existing loading facilities which have a throughput of 5,000,000 or more gallons of the compounds per year, unless the delivery vessel is controlled by a vapor recovery system as described in subrule (3) of this rule:
(3) Proper operation of the vapor recovery system as required by subrule (2) of this rule is when all displaced organic vapor and air are captured by means of a vapor tight collection line and the system recovers the organic vapor such that emissions to the atmosphere do not exceed 0.7 pounds of organic vapor per 1,000 gallons of organic compounds loaded.
(4) Any delivery vessel located at a facility that is subject to the provisions of subrule (2) of this rule must be equipped, maintained, or controlled with all of the following:
