BOARD MEETING DATE: October 5, 2007
AGENDA NO. 2

PROPOSAL:

Set Public Hearing December 7, 2007 to Amend Rule 1110.2 – Emissions from Gaseous and Liquid-Fueled Engines

SYNOPSIS:

Extensive emission testing conducted by AQMD enforcement staff in recent years revealed that a significant number of stationary internal combustion engines tested were out of compliance with their emissions limits, about half of the time, due to poor operating and maintenance procedures and inadequate monitoring. The proposed amendments are intended to: 1) improve the compliance record of engines with better monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting; 2) achieve further emission reduction based on the cleanest available technologies; and 3) address the recommended source testing and inspection and monitoring plan changes to the rule by U.S. EPA. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, September 28, 2007)

The complete text of the proposed amendment, staff report, and other supporting documents will be available from the District’s Public Information Center, (909) 396-2550 and on the Internet (www.aqmd.gov) on October 9, 2007.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Set Public Hearing December 7, 2007 to amend Rule 1110.2.
