BOARD MEETING DATE: November 6, 2009
AGENDA NO. 2

PROPOSAL:

Set Public Hearings December 4, 2009 to Consider Amendments and/or Adoption to AQMD Rules and Regulations to:

1. Amend Rule 1112.1 – Emissions of Particulate Matter and Carbon Monoxide from Cement Kilns
   The proposed amendment intends to address the occasional concentration spikes of CO, an attainment pollutant, resulting from the mandated reduction in NOx emissions from cement kilns. The proposal will provide compliance flexibility by recognizing the environmental benefit of reducing NOx, a precursor to non-attainment pollutants of ozone and particulates, while ensuring the CO emissions do not significantly impact air quality. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, September 25, 2009)
   
   
2. 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-color 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 glass door assemblies. Other minor clarifications and corrections (e.g. numbering) are also proposed. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, July 24, 2009 and October 16, 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 November 4, 2009.

 

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Set Public Hearings December 4, 2009 to amend Rules 1112.1 and 1145.
