Btw, the federal reportable spill quantity for Diesel fuel is 100lbs or those that violate applicable water quality standards.

Some states have adopted more strict standards, but I highly doubt the EPA is going to fine anybody if they accidentally spill a little fuel on the ground before the nozzle clicks off.

Judging from most gas stations I have been to, the EPA must be taking in fines hand over fist. :D I have to be to one that did not have a little gas and a lot of diesel around the pumps.

The EPA really doesn't care about that sort of thing. You're not describing a spill to the ground. That's a spill to a paved area where the runoff is supposed to be caught and at minimum run through an underflow skimmer to prevent hydrocarbon reaching the ground/water table.

Canopies typically aren't installed over pump islands so the users can do their thing out of the sun and weather. The canopy is there to minimize stormwater that has to be collected and treated.
