BOARD MEETING DATE: October 6, 2006
AGENDA NO. 2

Set Public Hearings November 3, 2006 to Consider Amendments and/or Adoption to AQMD Rules and Regulations to:

1. Amend Rule 1403 – Asbestos Emissions from Demolition/ Renovation Activities. Rule 1403 limits asbestos emissions from building demolition and renovation activities including the removal and associated disturbance of asbestos-containing materials, as well as the storage and disposal of asbestos-containing waste material (ACWM) generated or handled by these activities. The proposed amendments are designed to clarify rule intent, ease enforcement of the rule's requirements, and improve overall rule effectiveness. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, September 22, 2006)
    
2. 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 to implement the Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) for Stationary Compression Ignition Engines adopted by CARB. Amendments to Rule 1470 are proposed to reflect recent amendments to the state ATCM that became effective in September 2005. Proposed changes resulting from the amended ATCM include allowing up to 30 hours of operation of diesel emergency standby engines at health facilities for maintenance and testing. New and modified definitions, date clarifications, grammatical corrections, and other corrections (e.g., numbering) are also proposed. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, July 28, 2006)

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 (http://www.aqmd.gov/).
