Set Public Hearings to Consider Amendments and/or Adoption to AQMD Rules and Regulations

SYNOPSES: 

Set Hearing December 15, 2000

(A) Rule 442 - Usage of Solvents: The proposed amendments to Rule 442 will: (1) reduce VOC emissions from equipment not subject to source-specific VOC rules; (2) establish limits to reduce emissions from coatings, resins, adhesives, inks, solvents, thinners, diluents, mold seal and release compounds, lubricants, cutting oils, heat treating and quenching oils; and (3) delete obsolete language and clarify language to improve enforceability. (Review: Stationary Source Committee on October 27, 2000.)

Set Hearing January 19, 2001

(B) Proposed Rule 1132 - Further Control of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from High Emitting Spray Booth Facilities: Proposed Rule 1132 will further reduce VOC emissions from spray booths operated by the highest-emitting facilities. Facilities subject to the rule will be required to install add-on control systems and reduce their spray booth emissions or demonstrate compliance through an alternative compliance plan. The proposed rule will establish a two-tiered compliance schedule that will become effective in 2003 for the higher emitting facilities and 2004 for the remaining facilities subject to the rule. The proposal implements portions of Control Measure CTS-09 of the 1999 AQMP Amendments. (Review: Stationary Source Committee on September 22, 2000 and October 27, 2000.)

The complete text of the proposed amendments, staff reports and other supporting documents will be available no later than 31 days prior to the day of the public hearings (November 15, 2000 and December 20, 2000), from the District’s Public Information Center, (909) 396-2550 and on the Internet (www.aqmd.gov).
