Summary
The Committee reviewed the items on their agenda (copy produced below). Comments were noted on the following items:
1. New Source Review
The Committee received the status report and sought clarifications
on a number of points. On the issue of "past NSR debts paid,"
the Committee felt that some equity adjustment should be developed.
The Committee also discussed the fact that the Home Rule Working
Group had reviewed NSR issues and would be discussing the item
further at their February meeting.
2. Air Toxics 1996 Annual Report
The 1996 Annual Report was presented. The program has been very
successful in producing voluntary reductions of toxic emissions.
The Committee discussed the proposal to make the public meetings
optional. Concern was expressed over this proposal. The Committee
Members were opposed to reducing the requirements for these meetings.
In addition, they wanted an opportunity to consider expanding
the criteria for public notice.
3. Expedited Permitting Service
The Committee Members were very supportive of the proposal.
4. Amnesty Program
The progress of the program was discussed. Three months into the
program, over 300 permit applications have been received for:
auto repair, auto body shops, printers, and I/C engines. Roughly
half of the applications received have resulted in permits being
issued. Many of the companies responding are involved in Freon
recycling. The Committee also discussed the fact that only some
of the fees were waived. The term "amnesty" to some
businesses implied carte blanche waiving of fees, when that isn't
the case. The program provides "partial" fee amnesty.
