(Mr. Bernson left at 9:40 a.m.)
Chairman Burke noted that during the last two years the Board has implemented programs focusing on environmental justice, children's health, and air quality in the Inland Empire, and has adopted significant rules to reduce air pollution. He called upon the Board to set its sights beyond the year 2000 in developing programs to clean the Southland's air, considering what technologies are available and most effective; what incentives can best encourage the transition toward zero-emission technologies; and what vehicles, products and fuels can be used to improve public health in the region. He asked that staff make arrangements for a special Governing Board Millennium Goals Retreat, to be held within the next 90 days, focusing on three issues: (i) AQMD's AQMP and new federal clean air standards for ozone and particulate matter; (ii) a plan to address air toxics; and (iii) steps to reduce the disproportionate adverse health impacts of air pollution on the elderly.
Cindy Sullivan, Planning & Rules Manager/Science & Technology Advancement, reported that the proposed contracts would be the first contracts awarded under the Carl Moyer Program. Ms. Sullivan gave a brief overview of the RFP and project selection process and presented a summary of the on-road proposals received. This item is for the first part of the awards only, specifically, on-road trucks. Staff will bring the remaining awards to the Board for action at its September 10, 1999 meeting.
Mr. Paulitz commented that when he participated on the MSRC three or four years ago, he was unhappy with certain soft paper projects that the District was sponsoring. He is pleased to see that the District is now moving in the direction of alternate fueled school buses and heavy-duty trucks, and he believes the technology will catch on from there.
ON MOTION OF DR. WILSON, SECONDED BY MS. LaPISTO-KIRTLEY, AND UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED (Absent: Antonovich, Bernson, Coad and Mikels), THE BOARD AUTHORIZED THE CHAIRMAN TO EXECUTE THE FOLLOWING CONTRACTS FROM THE CARL MOYER PROGRAM SPECIAL REVENUE FUND, AS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF:

(Mr. Mikels arrived at 9:50 a.m.)
La Ronda Bowen, Public Advisor, expressed her appreciation to the Board for allowing her to serve as the staff liaison to the Environmental Justice (EJ) Task Force and provided background on the formation and purpose of the EJ Task Force. Ms. Bowen commented on (i) the diversity of the 27-member task force; (ii) Board Member Mee Lee's setting the tone at the outset and letting the task force members know how serious the work they were doing was to the Board; (iii) the Board Assistants' helpfulness in coordinating town hall meetings; and (iv) the fact that, along with district staff's participation, this has been a collaborative process. She highlighted key issues in the report and recommendations of the EJ Task Force.
The following individuals addressed the Board to speak on this item:
BILL QUINN, California Council for Environmental and Economic Balance/EJ Task Force
LEONARD ROBINSON, Tamco Steel/Environmental Justice (EJ) Task Force
CYNTHIA VERDUGO-PERALTA, Ethnic Community Advisory Group/EJ Task Force
LYNN TERRY, Air Resources Board/EJ Task Force
CURTIS COLEMAN, California Manufacturers' Association/EJ Task Force
The EJ Task Force members expressed their support for the item and urged the Board's approval of the task force's report and recommendations. They commented that the task force brought together a group of individuals with differing opinions, perspectives, and viewpoints who discovered they had many common goals and were able to focus on those goals and achieve consensus on recommendations that could lead to positive steps for each citizen's fundamental right to clean air. Mr. Robinson and Ms. Verdugo-Peralta suggested that the dialogue begun by the task force continue, and Mr. Coleman expressed hope that the District continue to bring people of disparate views and disparate backgrounds together to try to agree on common goals and objectives before moving forward to develop specific policy proposals. Ms. Terry expressed ARB's belief that the District has provided a fine example for other districts in the state in terms of outreach on the issue of environmental justice, and that it is important to continue collaborative efforts between the ARB and the District such as (i) continuing to follow up on improving methodologies and further assessments of community health; and (ii) reducing mobile source toxics.
LINDA MARQUEZ, CARLOS PORRAS, and STEVE BRO, Communities for a Better Environment (CBE)
MAYELI HERNANDEZ, CBE/Youth-4-Environmental Justice
Commended the Board for adopting the EJ Initiatives; however, expressed the following concerns regarding the initiative related to Rule 1402: (i) the allowable risk level per facility is too high; (ii) the idea that it would be an economic burden to businesses to lower the risk level any further should not be more important that the lives of people; (iii) Rule 1402 should have already been implemented with modifications to make the rule more stringent than it is presently; (iv) for the sake of the health and welfare of communities like Huntington Park, where most of the residents are people of color and/or low income, would like to see Rule 1402 modified without any further delays. The CBE also believes that cumulative exposure needs to be included in assessments for Rule 1401. With respect to the EJ Task Force, CBE believes the task force became too mired in the specific issue of trading programs. CBE is against turning the AQMD into a brokerage for polluters.
Dr. Wallerstein responded that staff has been working diligently not only on Rule 1402, but on Rule 1401 as well. Staff is presently proposing amendments to Rule 1401 (Agenda Item #29) and, over the last year, more than 100 substances have been added to Rule 1401, including non-carcinogens that have chronic health risks. Staff has been meeting with community groups and interested and affected businesses in regard to Rule 1402, and since the central issue is cumulative exposure, staff believes it would be most appropriate to bring to the Board at its September 10, 1999 meeting an air toxics control plan proposal. This would allow for the entire issue of air toxics and cumulative exposure to be considered, and also give staff an opportunity to properly address the interface between the federal regulations, state regulations, and what the District is doing at the local level. The rule forecast report (Agenda Item #11) indicated that staff believes there are improvements that can be made to Rule 1402 which staff plans to bring before the Board no later than January 2000, with a second phase potentially in the middle of the year. In addition to that, staff believes the Board retreat called for earlier by Chairman Burke would be a good opportunity for staff to present information to the Board and get further guidance on the issue of toxics.
On behalf of the Board, Chairman Burke thanked all of the members of the EJ Task Force for their diligent work and, on behalf of the residents of Southern California, expressed appreciation for their individual and collective efforts to provide guidance to the Board on environmental justice issues. He commented that the testimony indicated that the process was thorough, but it must be ongoing. He suggested that the Board should perhaps consider some type of continuing gathering of the group to keep that dialogue going. Members of the EJ Task Force who were present stood and were recognized, and Chairman Burke announced that at the conclusion of this item certificates of appreciation would be presented by staff to the task force members.
(Mr. Antonovich arrived at 10:10 a.m.)
ON MOTION OF MR. PAULITZ, SECONDED BY DR. WILSON, AND UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED (Absent: Bernson and Coad), THE BOARD ADOPTED THE RECOMMENDATIONS PRESENTED IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL TASK FORCE FINAL REPORT, AS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF.
Agenda Item No. 32 was taken out of order.
CLOSED SESSION
The Board recessed to closed session at 10:30 a.m., pursuant to Government Code Sections:
The Board reconvened at 10:45 a.m., and General Counsel Peter Greenwald announced that a written report of actions taken by the Board in closed session would be on file in the Clerk of the Board's office following the Board meeting.
BOARD CALENDAR (Continued)
Jack Broadbent, DEO/Planning, Rule Development, and Area Sources, gave a brief report. An errata sheet was distributed to Board members, and copies made available to the public, which contained clarifications to the Workplan, based on recent comments from industry.
The following individuals addressed the Board to speak on this item:
• Speaking in support of the staff report and proposed workplan for implementation of amended Rule 1113:
CAROL KAUFMAN, Metropolitan Water District
TIM CONKIN, Los Angeles Department of Water & Power
Expressed support particularly for the technology assessments that will be conducted under the workplan.
BONNIE JEAN WHITAKER, concerned citizen
Commented that she has suffered from respiratory problems, headaches, blurred vision, and other physical ailments as a result of being exposed to paint at her work place; and expressed belief that people should be protected against these sort of occurrences.
ROBERT HENDERSON, Coatings Resource Corporation
Emphasized that BACT for these paints is available and will continue to be available, it just takes hard work--in the field and in the plant, retooling and reformulating. Added that, if you look closely at the mortality rate, you will find that many painters barely make it to the age where they are eligible for social security.
JIM NYARADY, California Air Resources Board
Commented that he looks forward to continuing to work with District staff and industry through the working group and the subgroups.
HOWARD BERMAN, Dunn-Edwards
Expressed their belief that Rule 1113, as amended, breaks away from the traditional way of one-size-fits-all technological mandates that discourage efficiency and innovation. Its inclusion of averaging, science and technological feasibility ensures that the paint industry will only be regulated to the extent necessary to help clear the air of ozone. Through the workplan development and guidance documents that need to be drafted, and the technological assessments that will be conducted, issues that some claim to be vague will be clarified, and Rule 1113 will take significant and fair strides in cleaning the air.
CURTIS COLEMAN, Attorney on behalf of Sherwin-Williams Company
Commented that included in the proposed workplan is a constructive way to deal with the technical issues which he raised at the May 14, 1999 public hearing on Rule 1113; and, therefore, Sherwin-Williams supports the staff recommendation.
JAMES T. SELL, National Paint & Coatings Association (NPCA)
Commented that staff has made changes to the workplan that have addressed their concerns, and while NPCA is presently in litigation with the District concerning Rule 1113, irrespective of the outcome of that litigation, NPCA supports the workplan and believes it is a good starting point.
• No position expressed
BERT OSEN, concerned citizen
Commented that he has been working with organic chemicals for 44 years, many of his friends in the industry who have worked with chemicals have retired, and he believes it has been documented that chemists live longer than most people. Expressed his belief that most industry has been chased out of California by regulations, and that someday the Board will look at California and find that the environment will be clean, but people will not be able to work to feed their children.
• Speaking in Opposition:
DAVID LEEHY, Vista Paint
Showed to the Board a wood panel coated with five different water-based products and one solvent-based product; and commented that the portions coated with five of the paints were badly discolored. Commented that the paint industry would consider it a failure, but according to District staff those would be successful paint products. Expressed disappointment that during the 90-day period since the May 14 hearing on Rule 1113, no data corrections had been made to the NTS study, which was one of the issues that the Board had directed staff to work with industry to address.
STEVE MURPHY, Painting & Decorating Contractor's Association (PDCA)
1) Commented that the questions raised by PDCA at the May 14, 1999 Board meeting
concerning "last minute" items added by staff to PAR 1113 have not been
answered, the NTS study has not been completed, and the NTS results have not been
evaluated by the TAC.
2) Recommended that the Board: (i) approve the proposed workplan, but not accept staff's
report; and (ii) have staff place a priority on providing clarifications to those
questions raised by industry at the May 14 Board meeting that the Board instructed staff
to address.
VERNE MANSON, Southern California Decorating Products Association
Expressed concern from the point of view of the smaller independent paint dealers that the low-VOC coatings barely represent one percent of their sales and there is very little repeat business because of customers being unimpressed with the performance characteristics, lack of versatility of the product, and the higher cost. Urged the Board to reconsider or at least consider a compromise.
GREG QUINN, Los Angeles County Painting & Decorating Contractors Association
1) Expressed concern that amended Rule 1113 will result in a potential loss of 25,000 jobs for professional painters, as well as a significant increase in the cost of paint. 2) Suggested that the economic impact of the amendments made to Rule 1113 needs to be addressed before implementation of the rule.
WILLIAM SMILAND and NED KISNER, California Paint Alliance
1) Expressed support for the workplan, but asked that the Board not approve Appendix B--Issues and Responses--of the report, particularly pages B-3 through B-7, because it does not begin to address the main questions and policy issues that the Board had to decide, such as: (i) If the low-odor and two-component paints (which CPA believes are basically the only compliant products that will be available after the new limits become effective) are so good, why are so few of these paints purchased? (ii) There are thousands of consumer products which contain hundreds of organic compounds; paint only contains a couple of these. What is the precedence the Board is setting by prohibiting these specific products? (iii) EPA, after many years of study pursuant to comprehensive congressional statute, imposed a rule last year nationwide which has limits many times higher than what the District adopted at the May 14 hearing on Rule 1113; who is right? (iv) The basic question, which all consumers want to know: what am I going to get as a breather, and what is it going to cost me as a consumer?
2) Emphasized that District staff has never analyzed the environmental benefits of paint, nor the environmental detriments to a society with nothing but low-odor coatings or multi-component coatings. 3) Expressed belief that prohibition of traditional paints will yield no measurable ozone reduction and will come at a substantial environmental cost and massive economic costs. (Submitted Written Comments)
(Ms. Lee left at 11:30 a.m.)
In response to Ms. LaPisto-Kirtley, Dr. Wallerstein stated that it has been the opinion of District staff and ARB staff and many independent experts that by controlling the hydrocarbon emissions of the VOCs, including those from paints, substantial progress would be made in ozone reduction.
DR. WILSON MOVED APPROVAL OF THE REPORT ON DISCUSSIONS WITH INDUSTRY PERTAINING TO AMENDED RULE 1113 AND THE WORKPLAN TO FURTHER ENSURE SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF AMENDED RULE 1113, AS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF. THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY MR. MIKELS.
Mr. Antonovich expressed concern that the public and private sectors are being treated differently under amended Rule 1113 in that the interim limit for essential public service coatings is set at 340 gpl, while the limit for all other industrial maintenance (IM) coatings are 250 gpl. This sets up a double standard that he believes penalizes the private sector. He suggested that to make it equal for everyone that the interim limit for all IM coatings should be set at 340 gpl. This would not affect the total projected emissions reductions since the final limit of 100 gpl applies to all IM coatings.
MR. ANTONOVICH MOVED TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING ON RULE 1113 AT THE NOVEMBER 5, 1999 BOARD MEETING ON THE ISSUE OF EQUITY BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTORS. THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY DR. BURKE.
(No vote was taken on this motion; see subsequent motion by Antonovich)
Dr. Wallerstein explained that the rationale for the difference pertained not so much to the availability of coatings, but to the special procedures that essential public services have to go through for certification of the coatings. In addition to that, he noted that many of the essential public services are already using the lower-VOC coatings that are called for by the future effective limit.
There was extensive Board discussion on the motion by Mr. Antonovich. Mr. Loveridge, Dr. Wilson, and Mr. Paulitz expressed opposition to the motion.
THE MOTION BY DR. WILSON, SECONDED BY MR. MIKELS, TO APPROVE THE REPORT ON DISCUSSIONS WITH INDUSTRY PERTAINING TO AMENDED RULE 1113 AND THE WORKPLAN TO FURTHER ENSURE SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF AMENDED RULE 1113 AS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY (Absent: Bernson, Coad, and Lee).
Dr. Wallerstein commented that staff would have to legally notice the hearing proposed
by Mr. Antonovich, prepare a staff report, and ensure that the proper CEQA documentation
is prepared. He noted that a technical assessment will be brought back to the Board
approximately 18 months before the effective dates of the VOC limits in amended Rule 1113,
and, with the workplan outlined, he believes there would be ample opportunity to make
adjustments at a future date, if it is needed, and the Board would have the advantage of
additional new information that occurs in the interim period. There are many topics that
are designated in the workplan for additional information gathering, working with both the
public and private sector, and there will be quarterly reports to Board Committees and
annual technology reviews that will be coming to the Board as well. Therefore, staff could
also continue to examine the equity issue raised by
Mr. Antonovich. Also, staff could potentially work on this from the other direction; have
additional discussions with the essential public services to determine if they can
expedite their processes so that they would not need as much time.
MR. ANTONOVICH MOVED TO INCLUDE IN THE WORKPLAN FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF AMENDED RULE 1113 A SPECIFIC ELEMENT FOR FURTHER DIALOGUE AND DISCUSSION ON THE ISSUE OF EQUITY BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTORS. THE MOTION WAS DULY SECONDED AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY (Absent: Bernson, Coad, and Lee).
