BOARD MEETING DATE: August 1, 2003
AGENDA NO. 2

Set Public Hearing September 5, 2003 to Adopt Proposed Rule 1105.1 - Reduction of PM10 and Ammonia Emissions from Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units

SYNOPSIS:

Proposed Rule 1105.1 will reduce PM10 and PM10 precursors, and ammonia emissions from fluid catalytic cracking units in refineries and will implement Control Measure CMB-09 of the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). The proposed rule establishes emission limits for filterable PM10 and ammonia and requires periodic source testing to ensure compliance. The proposal also requires monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping of PM10 and ammonia emissions as well as equipment operating parameters. At full implementation, the proposed rule will reduce PM10 and ammonia emissions by approximately 2 tons per day. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, November 22, 2002, February 28, 2003, March 28, 2003 and April 25, 2003)

The complete text of the proposed amendments, staff reports and other supporting documents will be available no later than August 5, 2003, from the District’s Public Information Center, (909) 396-2550 and on the Internet (http://www.aqmd.gov).

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Set a Public Hearing September 5, 2003 to adopt Rule 1105.1 - Reduction of PM10 and Ammonia Emissions from Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units.
