The Rule and Control Measure Forecast Report provides the Board with a monthly update
of AQMD’s rulemaking and control measure implementation schedule. Rulemaking is a
dynamic process, subject to ongoing revision. Scheduling changes which occurred since last
month’s forecast are summarized.
| PRC-01 – Emission Reductions
from Woodworking Operations (PM10) |
| Proposed Control Measure #97PRC-01 is rescheduled from July
1999 to December 1999. Staff needs additional time to estimate emissions and develop
proposed requirements for controlling PM10 emissions from woodworking operations. |
| WST-02 – Emission Reductions
from Composting Operations |
| Emissions and emission reductions have not been determined
for composting operations. An inventory contract, including development of a comprehensive
composting emissions inventory, is underway as part of the 2000 AQMP Technical Enhancement
Program. Control efficiency research proposed for Proposed Rule 1419 (CM #97WST-01) for
livestock waste control options includes composting related projects. Results from these
programs are needed for the technology assessment to be completed, necessitating a delay
in the September 1999 rule adoption schedule. |
| Rule 461 – Gasoline Transfer and
Dispensing |
| Proposed Amended Rule 461 is rescheduled from May 1999 to
September 1999. Staff is still assessing compliance rates and potential approaches
including working with CARB to decertify defective equipment. |
| Rule 1104 –
Wood Flat Stock Coating Operations |
| Proposed Amended Rule 1104 is scheduled to July 1999.
Proposed amendments will incorporate ARB’s recommendation that the rule be amended to
be consistent with similar rules in two other California districts. |
| Rule 1105.1
– Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units (CM #97CMB-09) |
| Proposed Rule 1105.1 is rescheduled from June 1999 to
September 1999. Additional time is required to assess emissions data from source testing
and potential control technologies for this source category. |
| Rule 1186 –
PM10 Emissions from Paved and Unpaved Roads, and Livestock Operations |
| Proposed Amended Rule 1186 is rescheduled from June 1999 to
August 1999. Staff needs additional time to finalize protocols and testing. |
| Rule 1401 –
New Source Review of Toxic Air Contaminants Rule 1402 – Control of Toxic Air
Contaminants from New and Existing Sources |
| Rules 1401 and 1402 are rescheduled from June 1999 to
September 1999. Additional time is required by staff to review the results of the MATES II
program to develop proposals. |
| Rule 1405 – Control of Ethylene
Oxide & CFC Emissions from Sterilization or Fumigation Processes |
| CARB had passed its Ethylene Oxide Air
Toxics Control Measure. EPA identified changes for CARB to incorporate. While the
resolution date is uncertain, it is possible that the rule can be heard before December
1999. Accordingly, Rule 1405 is rescheduled from June 1999 to December 1999. |
