Barry R. Wallerstein, D.Env.
Acting Executive Officer
The Rule and Control Measure Forecast Report provides the Board with a monthly update of AQMDs rulemaking and control measure implementation schedule. Rulemaking is a dynamic process, subject to ongoing revision. Scheduling changes which occurred since last months forecast are summarized:
Rules to be Rescheduled/Removed
|
Rule 1437 Furniture Stripping Operations |
|
Proposed Rule 1437 is rescheduled from September 1998 to December 1998 to ensure that the rule approach is consistent with Rule 1401 and to explore the development of a product rule to address small ubiquitous uses of methylene chloride. Additional time is needed to conduct additional studies to evaluate further enhancements to the ventilation system to lower cancer risk at specific companies and collecting more data on distribution of companies by methylene chloride usage. Additional time is also needed for the assessment of results from the study on furniture stripping operations conducted by consultant. |

Coating of Metal Parts and Products Proposed amendments will implement CM #97CTS-02H of 1997 AQMP which called for emission reductions of 4.9 tons/day by 2010. This proposal will likely realize smaller emission reductions due to decreased VOC emissions inventory and a more focused target of sources for emissions reductions.

Definition of Minor Violation and Guidelines for Issuance of Notice to Comply Effective January 1, 1996, AB 2937 (Brulte) required each air district in the state of California to develop a rule governing issuance of a Notice to Comply for minor violations. A CAPCOA task force was convened that year to draft core rule language for adoption by all districts statewide, subject to minor local modifications as required. Following numerous public consultation meetings held throughout the state in 1997, comments were evaluated and rule language modified as necessary. Proposed Rule 112 - Definition of Minor Violation and Guidelines for Issuance of Notice to Comply represents the culmination of this effort to meet the requirements of AB 2937.

Equipment Not Requiring a Written Permit Pursuant to Regulation II Proposed amendments delete written permit requirements for equipment found to emit negligible amounts of air contaminants or equipment regulated by federal or state air emission standards. Amendments may also add written permit requirements for equipment found to emit significant amounts of air contaminants. Filing Requirements for Non-Permitted Equipment Proposed rule will require some equipment that is currently exempt or proposed for exemption from permit under Rule 219 to register certain information with the AQMD to help facilitate compliance and outreach efforts. An annual update and compliance certification is being proposed. Charbroilers and other equipment are being considered for this program. Visible Emissions An exemption is being considered for charbroilers. This equipment would still be subject to the states opacity limits.
