New Jersey DEP Compliance Advisory!

NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
#2023-24     Issued: 12/7/2023

COMPLIANCE ADVISORY

REMINDER TO TAKE ACTION TO COMPLY WITH ENHANCED VAPOR RECOVERY EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS BEFORE DECEMBER 23, 2024


WHO IS AFFECTED BY THIS ADVISORY?

Owners and operators of any gasoline dispensing facility (GDF) constructed in New Jersey before November 9, 2017. A GDF is any stationary facility that dispenses gasoline into the fuel tank of a motor vehicle, which makes it subject to New Jersey Air Pollution Control rules for gasoline transfer operations.


WHY IS DEP ISSUING THIS ADVISORY?

On December 23, 2017, the New Jersey Air Pollution Control rules (N.J.A.C. 7:27-16.3) were amended to include Enhanced Vapor Recovery (EVR) standards, established by California Air Resources Board (CARB), which aim to improve the effectiveness of gas pump vapor recovery systems, reduce vapor leaks from underground storage tanks, reduce evaporation from hoses and nozzles between use, redesign of nozzles to reduce drips, enhanced diagnostics to alert attendants when vapor recovery equipment malfunctions and improve the long-term reliability of vapor recovery equipment. The regulations were implemented in two phases. Phase II standards, which
primarily affected hoses and nozzles and the decommissioning of older gas pump vapor recovery systems, was completed in December 2020. Phase I standards, which primarily involve the tanks, piping, and fill ports, require that affected equipment be “CARB EVR-certified” on or before the deadline of December 23, 2024.

OPPORTUNITY

The TLS-350 has been one of the most dominant ATGs in the marketplace for over 25 years but has reached a point where older components have been obsoleted and costs have significantly increased. Veeder-Root ended all software and hardware development support back on December 31,2021. Spare parts will be supported through 2025 or when they are no longer available, whichever comes first.


Veeder-Root TLS-350 vs TLS-450PLUS cost over time comparison

RISK/FINANCIAL

Some of what you need to consider if you do not upgrade to the TLS-450PLUS:

  • ! Spare Parts Shortage
  • ! 90 Day limited warranty on parts only
  • ! Third party rebuilders do not meet UL standards, are illegal to use in some states and can severely increase your liability in the event of failures
  • $ Installing the TLS-450PLUS in place of repairing your TLS-350 will extend the warranty on existing probes, float kits and sensors during the first year of the TLS-450PLUS!

Veeder-Root TLS-450PLUS

WHY INVEST
$1,600 Average rebate per system
$450-$650 extended warranty value

Taking advantage of the TLS-450PLUS Trade-Up Program takes your fuel management system to the next level of reliability, functionality and convenience and also includes significant rebates and renews the warranty of most connected components!*

Veeder-Root TSN: Network Security Reminder

Veeder-Root Takes Network Security VERY Seriously!

OVERVIEW

Offering the best in class tools to prevent cyberattacks, Veeder-Root Veeder-Root TLS-450PLUSrecommends network ‘best practices’ such as:

  • Utilize separate network ports on the TLS-450PLUS ATG
  • Configure network routing tables
  • Changing network port numbers
  • Add a serial command security code to harden remote access and prevent un-authorized access to Veeder-Root ATG

TIP: Veeder-Root recommends that ASCs review and implement these ‘best practices’ for network security with their customers, when installing a new console or setting up a network port.

IMPORTANTCustomers on older TLS-350 ATG systems should consider either upgrading to the TLS-450PLUS or utilizing extra network firewall equipment.

TLS-450PLUS and TLS4 Series ATGs

The TLS-450PLUS and TLS4 Series ATGs come with security features allowing for greater protection and control of access to the ATG than legacy consoles. Features such as configurable user access and segmented network ports help ensure both network and front-panel security. To learn more about these features and how to set them up, please see our TLS4 Series Security Settings Technical Support Notice.

TLS-3XX Series ATGs

Please refer to the following manuals for security setup instructions:

Veeder-Root iButton USB Adapters

Due to supply chain issues, Veeder-Root will be limiting the number of USB adapters they ship with iButton software upgrades for the TLS-4xx platform.  Until supply chain issues have been resolved, individual iButtons will need to be swapped in and out of the USB adapters manually in order to upgrade TLS-4xx consoles with software enhancements.

GVR Passport: Updates, Tips & Tricks!

Gilbarco Passport POS Soon to Support Fuel Prices Over $9.999

With the rising fuel prices, there have been some concerns about the ability to sell fuel at prices above $9.999 per unit. Gilbarco has heard these concerns and is addressing them by developing a feature within Passport POS to enable fuel prices above $9.999 per unit. We have received the suggestion to sell fuel at half-gallon or quarter-gallon increments; however, this is not allowed in most states as it tends to mislead consumers who have come to expect the displayed prices to be for whole gallons. So Gilbarco is working towards a more universally accepted solution that will keep whole-gallon units and allow a price $10 or higher.

The solution keeps a 4-digit price, but shifts the decimal place (i.e. $X.XXX becomes $XX.XX), enabling prices at $10 per unit or higher. As a consequence, fuel must be sold to the penny rather than to the tenth of a cent.

Implementation of this solution works as follows:

  • Changing to the two-decimal price format will be a toggle option within Passport’s Manager Workstation.
  • The format change must be applied to every fuel grade and every dispenser at the site. If the two-decimal format is selected, then all prices will be limited to two decimal places even if the price is below $10 per unit.
  • To comply with Weights & Measures, all dispenser price displays should be changed to reflect the two-decimal prices. Changing the price format on the dispenser must be done on the dispenser itself, it cannot be done through Passport. Depending on the dispenser hardware, a technician may be required to configure the dispenser price display.
    • On Gilbarco Veeder-Root dispensers, this change cannot be completed by the Insite360 Forecourt remote management tool.
  • To comply with Weights & Measures, all price signs should be changed to reflect the two-decimal prices. Most electronic price signs are not capable of receiving and displaying the two-decimal format. To avoid automatically pushing a price that will be incorrectly displayed on the price sign, Passport will revert to a manual price sign configuration when configured for a two-decimal price format.

Note, this feature is only necessary for sites selling fuel at $10 or more. Sites selling all fuel grades below $10 per unit will experience no change. This feature is planned to be released as a maintenance pack for Passport versions 21.02 and 21.03. Release is targeted for the end of September 2022, pending network approval.
