BOARD MEETING DATE: June 6, 2003
AGENDA NO. 2

Set Public Hearings July 11, 2003 to Consider Amendments and/or Adoption to AQMD Rules and Regulations to:

(A)

Amend Rule 219 - Equipment Not Requiring a Written Permit Pursuant to Regulation II: Proposed amendments to Rule 219 will exempt several types of equipment with limited potential for emissions from permitting requirements; substitute a VOC emission limit for the vapor pressure exemption for lubricants; and clarify fee obligations for previously exempt equipment. The proposal also reorganizes the rule and adds an index to make it easier to locate and understand the exemptions. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, June 27, 2003)

(B)

Amend Rule 1162 - Polyester Resin Operations: The proposed amendment will postpone the effective date for the non-atomized application of gel coats from July 1, 2003 to July 1, 2004. The amendment is necessary to allow for the completion of testing, evaluation by staff and purchase and installation of compliant equipment by industry. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, June 27, 2003)

The complete text of the proposed amendments, staff reports and other supporting documents will be available no later than June 10, 2003, from the District’s Public Information Center, (909) 396-2550 and on the Internet (www.aqmd.gov).
