BOARD MEETING DATE: November 5, 2004
AGENDA NO. 2
Set Public Hearings December 3, 2004 to Consider Amendments and/or Adoption to AQMD Rules and Regulations to:
(A) Adopt Proposed Rule 312 - Permitting and Associated Fees for Agricultural Operations, and Amend Rules 102, 201, 201.1, 202, 203 and 219:
The Health and Safety Code now mandates written permits for certain agricultural sources. Proposed Amended Rule 102 adds or amends definitions necessary to implement these requirements. Proposed Amended Rules 201, 201.1, 202 and 203 establish permitting procedures for these sources. Proposed Amended Rule 219 identifies the agricultural sources that are no longer exempt from written permits and when applications are to be submitted. Proposed Rule 312 sets the special permitting fees for existing agricultural sources. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, October 22, 2004)
(B) Amend Rule 1145 – Plastic, Rubber, Leather and Glass Coatings:
The proposed amendment sets more stringent VOC limits and future compliance dates for several coating categories. The proposed amendment also establishes new VOC limits for leather coating, sets the High Volume Low Pressure spray gun efficiency as the baseline for determining equivalent transfer efficiency, and adds a limited exemption for polyurethane shoe sole coating. Language is also amended for clarity and consistency. This proposed amendment partially implements 2003 AQMP Control Measure CTS-10 and achieves an emission reduction of approximately 1.2 tons per day at an average cost-effectiveness of $3,900 per ton reduced. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, October 22, 2004)
The complete text of the proposed amendments, staff reports and other supporting documents are available from the District’s Public Information Center, (909) 396-2550 and on the Internet (www.aqmd.gov).
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Set Public Hearings December 3, 2004 to adopt Proposed Rule 312 and amend Rules 102, 201, 201.1, 202, 203, 219 and 1145.
