CARB staff discovered a sulfur and an aromatic hydrocarbon violation during routine inspections. In November 2009, routine compliance samples collected by Enforcement Division (ED) from five compartments of a marine vessel, revealed an exceedance of the sulfur content limit reported in the Predictive Model (PM) specifications.
