PUBLIC BOARD STUDY SESSION: Jan. 18, 1996, 9:30 a.m., (AQMD)

Anupom Ganguli - (909) 396-3185 CEQA: Jonathan Nadler (3071) Socio: Sue Lieu (3059)

MAY '961118 - Emission Reductions from Refinery Flares *Proposed rule will take a two-step approach to gather data on flaring operations at petroleum refineries to assess the need for, or the level of, any future controls required in order to reduce flare emissions. The first step will require refineries to monitor flaring activities for the amount and composition of gases being flared. If the data demonstrates a need to control flaring operations, step two of the rule will be to develop specific control requirements to reduce flare emissions.PUBLIC WORKSHOP: February 9, 1996, at AQMD, time unknown.Mohsen Nazemi - (909)396-2662 CEQA: Steve Smith (3054) Socio: Sue Lieu (3059)

MAY '96Regulation III - Fees *Proposed amendments in support of AQMD's fiscal year 1996-97 budget may include adjustments to match state Consumer Price Index change or other changes if the Board finds they are necessary and will result in an equitable apportionment of fees. Further, proposed fee rule will recover state and local district's costs associated with the statewide Air Toxics "Hot Spots" (AB2588) program. Adjustments may also be made to reflect market prices under the Air Quality Investment Program currently administered under Rule 2202, but may be moved to Regulation III. RECLAIM fees may also be adjusted in accordance with the above principles.Ed Pupka - (909)396-3332 / Ben Shaw (909)396-2394CEQA: Steve Smith (3054) Socio: Sue Lieu (3059)
JUN '961173 - Fugitive Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (CM# FUG-04) *Proposed amendments will address SIP recommendations identified by U. S.

SEP '961107 - Metal Products CoatingIn the event that VOC RECLAIM is not adopted, amendments will be proposed based on a recent review of available technology. The technology review reveals that VOC concentration limits can be reduced to 185 grams per liter, as applied with powder coatings for both general and high gloss coatings. Non-compliant solvent-borne high solids coatings could be vented to control equipment. The use of acetone, an exempt solvent, will also reduce emissions.Anupom Ganguli - (909)396-3185
SEP '961124 - Aerospace Component CoatingIn the event that VOC RECLAIM is not adopted, amendments will be proposed based on a recent review of available technology. Clean-up solvents using blends containing exempt acetone will reduce VOC emissions from this industry. Further reductions are expected from: primers, topcoats, adhesive bonding primers, temporary protective coatings, chemical milling and chemical processing maskants; solid film/barrier coating, and fuel tank coatings.Anupom Ganguli - (909)396-3185
SEP '961125 - Can, Drum, & Coil CoatingIn the event that VOC RECLAIM is not adopted, amendments will be proposed based on a recent review of available technology.

Reductions may also be realized from drum manufacturers through coating reformulations, increased transfer efficiency of spray guns, and installation of control equipment.Anupom Ganguli - (909)396-3185
SEP '961512 - Airport Ground Access (CM# ISR-04) *Proposed rule will reduce emissions and congestion from passenger trips to and from airports. A menu of actions that reduce emissions and congestion will be specified in the rule. Operators of airports will select actions from the menu to be implemented at their facilities.Laki Tisopulos - (909)396-3123 CEQA: Steve Smith (3054) Socio: Sue Lieu (3059)
OCT '961128 - Paper, Fabric, & Film CoatingIn the event that VOC RECLAIM is not adopted, amendments will be proposed based on a recent review of available technology. These facilities can achieve additional reductions through the use of reformulated materials, increased effectiveness of add-on control equipment, UV curable coatings and adhesives with negligible VOC emissions. Additional reductions will come from the use of hotmelt adhesives and resin impregnating applications.Anupom Ganguli - (909)396-3185
OCT '961130 - Graphic ArtsIn the event that VOC RECLAIM is not adopted, amendments will be proposed based on a recent review of available technology. Emissions associated with inks and fountain solutions can be reduced with current available technology. The advent of ultraviolet and electron beam technology will allow a switch from conventional inks to inks with little or no VOC emissions. Solvent cleanup emissions will also be reduced through the use of solvent recovery systems, lower vapor pressure solvents and further use of automotive blanket washers and vegetable-based wash solvents.Anupom Ganguli - (909)396-3185
OCT '961145 - Plastic, Rubber & Glass CoatingsIn the event that VOC RECLAIM is not adopted, amendments will be proposed based on a recent review of available technology. Development of new resins will allow for reductions from acrylic formulations (one component coating category). Polyurethane (two-component) coatings are expected to be developed as one component water-based coatings with reduced VOC content. Replacement technology such as UV curable coatings may also result in emission reductions.Anupom Ganguli (909)396-3185
OCT '961506 - Registration and Commercial Vehicles (CM# ISR-03) *Proposed rule will be used to compile data on commercial vehicle trips. Data will be used to design a rule that reduces emissions and congestion from commercial vehicle activities generated by commercial business facilities. This rule will specify a menu of actions that the operators of commercial businesses may implement at their facilities.Laki Tisopulos - (909)396-3123 CEQA: Steve Smith (3054) Socio: Sue Lieu (3059)
NOV '961151 - Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Non-assembly Line CoatingIn the event that VOC RECLAIM is not adopted, amendments will be proposed based on a recent review of available technology. Group I (trucks) refinishing operations will find reductions through the use of lower VOC content undercoats. Group II (automobiles) will likewise be able to achieve reductions from the use of lower VOC content undercoats and development of lower VOC content single-stage, solid color topcoats.Anupom Ganguli - (909)396-3185
NOV '961168 - AdhesivesIn the event that VOC RECLAIM is not adopted, amendments will be proposed based on a recent review of available technology. The majority of facilities using adhesives are currently able to utilize available low-VOC (or zero-VOC) adhesives.Jack Broadbent (909)396-3789
NOV '961171 - Solvent Cleaning OperationsIn the event that VOC RECLAIM is not adopted, amendments will be proposed based on a recent review of available technology. A large number of water-based cleaning materials have been formulated as potential replacements for ODC and organic solvents. In addition, significant VOC emission reductions can be achieved with the use of acetone, which is now considered a non-VOC by the AQMD and EPA.Dave Schwien - (909)396-2577
NOV '961423 - Lead Abatement RuleThis is a place holder for a rule to control lead emissions during abatement activities. This rule will be coordinated with Cal-EPA's statewide strategic plan to reduce lead poisoning.Ben Shaw - (909)396-2394 CEQA: Steve Smith (3054) Socio: Sue Lieu (3059)
NOV '961503 - Trip Reduction for Schools (CM# ISR-05) *Proposed rule will facilitate the reduction of student trips to high schools, colleges, and universities.

NOV '962009 - Area Source Credits (CM# CMB-03 & CMB-04) *Proposed rule will implement the market incentives program for area sources to supplement RECLAIM.Pang Mueller - (909)396-2433 CEQA: Tara Sheehy (3102) Socio: Sue Lieu (3059)
DEC '96403 - Fugitive DustProposed amendments will incorporate control measures BCM-01 through BCM-05 from the 1994 BACM SIP to meet the Clean Air Act requirements for Best Available Control Measures.403.2 - Fugitive Dust - Contingency Requirements for the Coachella ValleyProposed rule will develop fugitive dust contingency measures as required under the Clean Air Act. This rule is to be adopted but not implemented unless future milestone targets are not met. 403.3 - Fugitive Dust - Contingency Requirements for the South Coast Air BasinProposed rule will develop fugitive dust control contingency measures as required under the Clean Air Act.
