Background

On June 3, 2005, staff presented to the Governing Board proposed amendments to Rule 1110.2 - Emissions from Gaseous and Liquid-Fueled Engines that would require agricultural engines to comply with the rule. The proposed amendments required older engines to comply by July 1, 2008 and newer engines to comply by January 1, 2010. The Board adopted staff’s proposal to amend Rule 1110.2, but with a revision to allow agricultural facilities with emissions below 50% of the Title V thresholds additional time to comply.

Proposal

Staff is seeking Board confirmation that the rule language submitted with this Board letter accurately reflects the Board’s intent as expressed at the rule adoption hearing at the June Board meeting. The Board’s revisions to the staff proposal are shown by strikeout and underline in Table VII of paragraph (e)(2) of the rule. The revisions allow agricultural facilities with actual emissions below the amounts in the table of paragraph (c) of Rule 219 to comply with Rule 1110.2 by the later compliance date of January 1, 2010. The emission levels in the referenced table are based on 50% of the Title V emission thresholds of Regulation XXX – Title V Permits.
