   (bwallerstein@aqmd.gov)
   
   1. Amend Rule 1150.1 - Control of Gaseous Emissions from Municipal Solid Waste Landfills
      Tisopulos (909) 396-3123
      (ltisopulos@aqmd.gov)
      The proposed amendments will incorporate provisions to make the rule consistent with a CARB state-wide rule for landfills, add NESHAP requirements which are already in effect, make minor corrections for clarity and amendments to reduce recordkeeping and reporting requirements to multiple agencies. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, July 23, 2010)
      
      
   2. Adopt Proposed Rule 1420.1 – Emissions Standard for Lead From Large Lead-acid Battery Recycling Facilities
      Chang (909) 396-3186
      (echang@aqmd.gov)
      On October 15, 2008, the U.S. EPA amended the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for Lead. The standard has been lowered from 1.5 µg/m3 to 0.15 µg/m3 in order to provide an adequate margin of safety that would ensure the protection of public health. Based on current monitoring data, large lead-acid and battery recycling facilities are one of the largest sources of lead. Proposed Rule 1420.1 establishes additional requirements for large lead-acid battery recycling facilities to meet attainment of the new NAAQS for Lead. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, April 16, May 21 and June 18, 2010)
      
      
      
   3. Amend Rule 1401 - New Source Review of Toxic Air Contaminants and Preliminary Impact Assessment for Facilities Subject to Rule 1402 - Control of Toxic Air Contaminants From Existing Sources
      Chang (909) 396-3186
      (echang@aqmd.gov)
      The proposal would add or revise non-cancer chronic and acute risk values for acetaldehyde, acrolein, arsenic, fluorides, formaldehyde, manganese, and mercury on the list of toxic air contaminants (TACs) in Rule 1401 – New Source Review of Toxic Air Contaminants. In addition to impacts for new, modified, and relocated equipment subject to Rule 1401, a preliminary assessment of impacts for existing facilities subject to Rule 1402 – Control of Toxic Air Contaminants from Existing Sources, is included because Rule 1402 uses the same list of TACs.

    Chang (909) 396-3186
    (echang@aqmd.gov)
    The Department of Toxic Substances Control has approached the AQMD seeking guidance on using emission credits to mitigate significant NOx emissions during construction activities to clean up hazardous wastes at the Ascon landfill in Huntington Beach. In response to similar requests in the past, AQMD has established a procedure to follow when using emission credits as CEQA mitigation. The procedure includes ensuring that any emission credits used as CEQA mitigation are derived using existing AQMD protocols, are provided in sufficient quantities to ensure that emission impacts are mitigated to less than significant, and ensure that all credits used as CEQA mitigation are retired for the benefit of the environment. Penalties for non-compliance are also identified in the procedure. As a responsible agency, the AQMD would enter into a Mitigation Agreement with the lead agency and project proponent, signed by the Executive Officer.
    
    
25. Interim Report on Technology Assessment for Biogas Engines Subject to Rule 1110.2
    Tisopulos (909) 396-3123
    (ltisopulos@aqmd.gov)
    The February 1, 2008 amendment of Rule 1110.2 substantially reduced emission limits for engines fueled by landfill or digester gas (biogas). The compliance date for these new limits was set at July 1, 2012. However, the rule and the adopting resolution called for a Technology Assessment by July 2010 to verify the feasibility of available control technologies. This report summarizes staff’s technology assessment and findings to date, including the status of three on-going demonstration projects, which experienced significant delays due to the permit moratorium in 2009, and will be followed by another report upon completion of the technology demonstration projects. While the on-going technology assessment points to encouraging evidence in support of the feasibility of the biogas engine limits of Rule 1110.2, the delay in implementing the demonstration projects will likely necessitate a delay of the July 1, 2012 compliance date of the rule.

    Amendments are proposed to Rule 1193 to address recent court decisions on fleet rule applicability in terms of modifying the scope of the rule to apply to government fleets.

(ltisopulos@aqmd.gov)
Rule 1144 was adopted on March 6, 2009 which partially implemented Control Measure CTS-01 – Emission Reductions from Lubricants (CTS-01). The current proposal will expand the applicability of the rule to include Direct-Contact Lubricants and Metalworking Fluids by establishing VOC limits effective January 1, 2012. The proposal also prohibits the sale of non-compliant fluids, requires annual sales reporting and product labeling, and incorporates a recently validated thermogravimetric test method for determining VOC content. These amendments will fully implement Control Measure CTS-01. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, February 19, 2010, March 19, 2010, and May 21, 2010)
