3) There is no liquid drainage from the loading device when it is not in use;

4) All loading and vapor return lines are equipped with fittings which are vapor tight; and

5) The delivery vessel displays the appropriate sticker pursuant to the requirements of Section 215.584(b) or (d); or, if the terminal is driver-loaded, the terminal owner or operator shall be deemed to be in compliance with this section when terminal access authorization is limited to those owners and/or operators of delivery vessels who have provided a current certification as required by Section 215.584(c)(3).
