BOARD MEETING DATE: February 4, 2005
AGENDA NO. 2
Set Public Hearings March 4, 2005 to Consider Amendments and/or Adoption to AQMD Rules and Regulations to:
(A) Adopt Proposed Rule 1469.1 - Spraying Operations Using Coatings Containing Chromium. Proposed Rule 1469.1 - Spraying Operations Using Coatings Containing Chromium will reduce chromium emissions from processes that spray primers or coatings containing hexavalent chromium. Reductions of hexavalent chromium and other toxic emissions would occur through adding new or upgrading existing control equipment. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, July 23, 2004 and January 28, 2005)
(B) Amend Rule 1470 - Requirements for Stationary Diesel-Fueled Internal Combustion and Other Compression Ignition Engines. Rule 1470 was adopted by the Board on April 2, 2004. The rule implements the Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) for Stationary Compression Ignition Engines that was adopted by CARB in February 2004. Due to subsequent changes to the ATCM, amendments to Rule 1470 are proposed for consistency with the ATCM. Proposed changes resulting from the finalized ATCM include addition of effective dates for rule requirements, definition modifications, and adding clarifying language. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, January 28, 2005)
(C) Amend Rules 1401 - New Source Review of Toxic Air Contaminants and 1402 - Control of Toxic Air Contaminants from Existing Sources and Report on Impacts Relative to Sources Subject to Rule 1402 - Control of Toxic Air Contaminants from Existing Sources. The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) recently finalized cancer and chronic risk values for several chemicals. Proposed amendments will update the list of compounds and effective dates in Table I of Rule 1401 based on a new cancer risk value for napthalene, new or updated cancer and chronic risk values for speciated polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), two polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), and one polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF). Proposed amendments will also clarify the emission calculation procedure for addition of control equipment to existing equipment in Rule 1401 and update the definition of maximum individual cancer risk (MICR) in Rules 1401 and 1402 for consistency with OEHHA's new risk guidelines. The staff report will also fulfill requirements in Rules 1401 and 1402 for analysis of potential impacts on sources subject to the new or updated risk factors, both for permitting impacts and facility-wide health risk assessments. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, January 28, 2005)
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 March 4, 2005 to adopt Proposed Rule 1469.1 and amend Rules 1470, 1401 and 1402.
