Background
Developed by CARB and the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA), the Gasoline Service Station lndustrywide Risk Assessment Technical Guidance (Technical Guidance) provides an update to the Gasoline Service Station lndustrywide Risk Assessment Guidelines published by the CAPCOA in 1997. To meet the requirements of the Air Toxics "Hot Spots" Information and Assessment Act (Assembly Bill 2588), this document was developed for the purpose of providing recommended procedures to California Air Pollution Control and Air Quality Management Districts (Districts) and gasoline dispensing facilities for preparing their emissions inventories and health risk assessments (HRA).
CARB has also developed the Gasoline Service Station lndustrywide Risk Assessment Supplemental Policy Guidance (Supplemental Policy Guidance) as a companion document that focuses on estimating community-scale health impacts caused by emissions from individual or multiple gas stations. The Supplemental Policy Guidance also provides considerations and recommendations for the siting and configuring of gas stations in planning and land use decisions.
