BOARD MEETING DATE: March 5, 2004
AGENDA NO. 3
Set Public Hearings April 2, 2004 to Consider Amendments and/or Adoption to AQMD Rules and Regulations to:
(A) Adopt Proposed Rule 1470 - Requirements for Stationary Diesel-fueled Internal Combustion and Other Compression Ignition Engines: Proposed Rule 1470 will adopt the Air Toxics Control Measure for stationary compression ignition engines (ATCM), as adopted by the ARB Governing Board in February 2004. Proposed Rule 1470 includes more stringent requirements than the ATCM for engines located on school grounds or 100 meters or less from existing schools. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, February 27, 2004)
(B) Amend Rules 403 - Fugitive Dust, 1186 - PM10 Emission Reductions from Paved and Unpaved Roads and Livestock Operations, and 403.1 - Supplemental Fugitive Dust Control Requirements for Coachella Valley Sources. In response to PM10 SIP requirements, new fugitive dust control measures were included in the 2003 AQMP and the 2002 Coachella Valley PM10 SIP (CVSIP) to increase the stringency of current Best Available Control Measures (BACM) rules and rule amendments adopted in 1997. The new measures were based on analysis of subsequent BACM implementation in other areas and in response to comments by U.S. EPA. The proposed amendments will implement 2003 AQMP control measure BCM-07 and the AQMD rulemaking portion of the 2002 CVSIP. These amendments incrementally reduce fugitive dust PM10 emissions from previously-controlled fugitive dust sources including construction, road, and Coachella Valley agricultural sources and backstop reductions achieved by local Coachella Valley programs. The amendments will also enhance the clarity and enforceability of the fugitive dust rules. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, January 23, 2004 and February 27, 2004.)
The complete text of the proposed amendments, staff reports and other supporting documents will be available no later than March 2, 2004, from the District’s Public Information Center, (909) 396-2550 and on the Internet (www.aqmd.gov).
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Set Public Hearings April 2, 2004 to adopt Proposed Rule 1470 and amend Rules 403, 403.1, and 1186.
