BOARD MEETING DATE: July 10, 2009
AGENDA NO. 2

PROPOSAL:

Set Public Hearings September 11, 2009 to Consider Amendments and/or Adoption to AQMD Rules and Regulations to:

1. Amend Rule 1145 - Plastic, Rubber, Leather and Glass Coatings. The proposed amendment would, in part, implement control measure MCS-07 – Application of All Feasible Measures of the 2007 AQMP by aligning the current VOC limit for the multi-colored category with the VOC limit recommended in U.S. EPA Control Techniques Guidelines. A new coating category is recommended for addition to the table of standards for coating glass panels used in refrigerated commercial glass door assemblies. Other minor clarifications and corrections (e.g. numbering) are also proposed. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, July 24, 2009)
2. Amend Rule 102 – Definition of Terms. The proposed amendment adds several compounds to the list of exempt compounds in Rule 102. The U.S. EPA has delisted these compounds from its definition of VOC because of their negligible photochemical reactivity. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, July 24, 2009)

The complete text of the proposed amendments, staff reports, 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 August 12, 2009.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:

Set Public Hearings September 11, 2009 to amend Rule 1145 and Rule 102.
