The Rule and Control Measure Forecast Report provides the Board with a monthly update of AQMD's rulemaking and control measure implementation scheduled. Scheduling changes that occurred since last month's forecast are summarized. Progress in 2003 Significant progress was made in 2003 in the development and adoption of rules and rule amendments. Twenty-three rules were amended and six rules were adopted. With the two SIP measures adopted (i.e., WST-02 Composting and Phase III of CTS-07 Architectural Coatings) in 2003, the AQMD achieved approximately 15 tons/day VOC reductions. With the rulemaking efforts in 2003, the AQMD has met and exceeded the emission reduction obligations of 2003 as well as the total emission reduction obligations of 48 tons/day under the SIP settlement agreement. To date, a total of 70 tons/day of VOC reductions have been achieved under the SIP settlement agreement. However, the SIP settlement agreement still requires adoption of one remaining short-term measure, Phase III of FUG-05 Oil Field Production Wells, which is scheduled for a January 2004 Board adoption hearing. Table 1 shows that AQMD has completely fulfilled its emission reduction obligations from both short-term and long-term measures under the 1997/1999 SIP.

Significant progress has been made in reducing air toxics. Rule 1469 - Hexavalent Chromium Emissions from Chrome Plating and Chromic Acid Anodizing Operations will result in an additional 90 percent reduction (48 pounds per year) in hexavalent chrome from metal plating operations. It is the first AQMD rule to include more stringent requirements for facilities located near sensitive receptors and homes. Rule 1426 Emissions from Metal Finishing Operations will institute good housekeeping and operating practices and result in collection of information to assess whether future controls are needed. Additional compounds were added for evaluating risk under new source review and for health risk assessments through two amendments to Rule 1401 New Source Review of Toxic Air Contaminants. A White Paper on Potential Control Strategies to Address Cumulative Impacts From Air Pollution was brought to the Board last year. As approved by the Board, the Cumulative Impacts Reduction Strategy (CIRS) contains 25 strategies, which include mobile and stationary source controls, strategic funding, education, pollution prevention, and partnerships with other government agencies, to further reduce local and regional toxic air pollution.

2004 MASTER CALENDAR
Advance Target for Board Hearings
Below is a list of all rulemaking activity potentially scheduled for the year
2003. The last three columns refer to the type of rule adoption or amendment:
AQMP refers to the adoption and implementation of AQMP control measures
(Attachment A); Toxics refers to the adoption and implementation of programmatic
as well as source-specific toxic-related rules (Attachment B); and Other refers
to administrative rules or changes to an existing rule to clarify or improve
rule enforceability, SIP corrections, or implementing state or federal
regulations (Attachment C). A more detailed description of the proposed rule
adoption or amendment is located after this calendar under the type of rule
adoption or amendment (i.e. AQMP, Toxics, and Other) Upcoming Public Workshops
are located at the end of the report (Attachment D).
*An asterisk indicates that the rulemaking is a potentially significant
hearing.
+This proposed rule will reduce criteria air contaminants and assist toward
attainment
of ambient air quality standards.
