Eric Ul regulation 1979 Epa passed 1900 but came in effect 1990 however the state of Oregon passed similar regulations in 1986 that were basically adopted / similar to the EPA regs of 1988/ in effect 1990 the epa regs were part of an air quality passage Phase II was around 1992/1993. since then the GPH amounts have been tweaked ever so little Satoe of Oregon again has set the pace reducing GPH 40% of what is now allowed by the EPA. Expect the EPA to follow suit
